Honeywell Introduces Mobile PKS To Expand Process Knowledge Management
The Industry Solutions business of Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions today introduced Mobile PKS™, the first wireless human interface for industrial process automation.
Mobile PKS extends the reach of automation by providing mobile computing capability for Experion PKS™, Honeywell’s Process Knowledge System™. Experion PKS™ controls the entire scope of production, addressing the needs of operations, maintenance, engineering, and business - tightly integrated with distributed control for site-wide information, management, and workflow optimization. The open architecture of Mobile PKS also allows it to perform easily with Honeywell’s existing TPS and PlantScape® systems.
Using hand-held computers, Mobile PKS enables engineering, operations and maintenance personnel to manage work processes, sharing and capturing knowledge throughout the plant or mill – no matter how far they are located from the control room.
The Mobile PKS solution includes value-added software, rugged, purpose-built wireless hand-held computing devices, as well as complete project services from initial site surveys for wireless network integration to application implementation with Honeywell wireless devices.
Software applications available for Mobile PKS include IntelaTrac® PKS and Mobile Station PKS. IntelaTrac PKS, designed for remote work force
management, allows field personnel to integrate high-quality field inspection data and asset management functions with control room operations. Mobile Station PKS provides control system and asset management information to remote users in the field where and when it is
needed.
“Mobile PKS allows everyone to collaborate in operating the business whether they work in the control room or out in the plant,” said Jerry
Walker, Vice President of Business Development for Honeywell Industry Solutions. “Mobile PKS expands knowledge management to all parts of the
facility which is critical to improving business results. It converges management of operations and maintenance activities to unify optimization
of both process and equipment,” said Walker.
Mobile PKS is an integral part of Honeywell’s Process Knowledge Solution™, which provides employees with tools and technologies to capture and manage knowledge, increasing productivity and profitability throughout their organization.
Empowering workers in the field with the capability to affect changes in operations and maintenance more efficiently, Mobile PKS facilitates improved decision-making and production uptime, process monitoring and optimization, and incident avoidance. It also enhances the effectiveness
of asset management and equipment condition monitoring when used with Honeywell’s @sset.MAX® applications, including Alert Manager PKS, making it the most powerful plant asset management solution available.
