Shanghai, China, May 25, 2020 - Honeywell today announced that Wood has adopted Honeywell Connected People Productivity solutions to improve decision making, increase productivity and keep industrial workers safe. The Wood Group is a global leader in providing consulting, project and operational solutions in the energy and built environment sectors.
Honeywell Connected People Productivity's smart wearables use hands-free devices and technologies such as augmented reality (AR) to combine head-mounted displays, voice control and complex workflow software with deep integration with factory and process data. Honeywell and Wood Group equip frontline employees in the energy industry with immediate access to critical knowledge and information to streamline operations, ensure uptime and business continuity.
"Honeywell's Connected People productivity solution is one of the core components of our Connected operations and Connected People initiatives. This disruptive technology allows us to harness the collective creativity of our employees to solve our customers' biggest challenges." "This technology is key for us and our customers to meet the challenges of the future," said Darren Martin, chief technology Officer at Wood Group.
Head-mounted smart wearables designed specifically for the Wood Group integrate the following Honeywell interconnection modules:
• Honeywell Connected Inspection: An easy-to-use software solution that digitizes end-to-end inspection workflows to improve inspection efficiency and effectiveness for all types of business.
Honeywell Connected Call experts and video support: Workers can connect in real time to colleagues in the control room, remote office or other field for advice or support. When encountering complex tasks, employees can call up video tutorials and follow instructions to complete the task step by step.
"Operators across many industries are realizing the value of digital workflows, equipping workers with collaboration tools and connecting them to real-time data to improve decision making, increase efficiency, and make working on-site or remotely safer." "Honeywell's Connected solution is the culmination of our process expertise and people support technology to dramatically improve employees' daily experience, especially in today's global business environment," said Yan Chen, vice president and general manager of Honeywell Process Control Greater China.
To date, Honeywell's connected solutions have been successfully used on offshore RIGS in the UK North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Alaska's North Slope, and onshore process industrial equipment in the UK, US, Canada and the Middle East, demonstrating benefits such as faster troubleshooting, reduced downtime and exposure to hazardous environments.
