霍尼韋爾為芬蘭鋼鐵廠安裝Experion系統

KUOPIO, Finland, March 20, 2008 -- Honeywell announced a $2 million contract to implement its Experion Process Knowledge System with a Process, Machine and Drives (PMD) Controller at a Tornio, Finland production plant operated by Outokumpu, a €6 billion international stainless steel company. The project, which is designed to boost manufacturing efficiency at the plant, strengthens Honeywell’s presence in serving the steel sector.

Kuopio 3月20日消息——霍尼韋爾公司宣布獲得一份價值200萬美元的合同，為Outokumpu公司，一家年收60億歐元的不銹鋼公司，在芬蘭Tornio經營的一家生產工廠安裝其裝有一個過程、機器與驅動控制器的Experion過程知識系統。該旨在提高工廠制造效率的項目加強了霍尼韋爾服務于鋼鐵業的布局。

Targeted for completion in 2009, the project is aimed at boosting the efficiency of Outokumpu’s ferro chrome converter process – a key sub-process in the production of stainless steel. Experion will help automate a number of related processes including converter charging, cooling, management of exhaust gasses and blowing. Honeywell is using distributed Profibus fieldbuses in the installation of Experion, which should reduce cabling costs and enable support for the latest field devices. The contract includes basic and field planning from Honeywell, as well as configuration services.

針對2009年竣工，該項目的目標是提高Outokumpu的鉻鐵合金轉爐過程——不銹鋼生產中的一個重要次過程，的效率。Experion系統將幫助大量相關的過程實現自動化，包括轉換器充電、冷卻，排出氣體的管理及通氣。霍尼韋爾在Experion的安裝中使用了分布式Profibus現場總線，減少了布線成本并實現支持最新的現場設備。該合同包括霍尼韋爾基本的和實地規劃工作，以及配置服務。

“We selected Honeywell for this important project because it understands our business needs and has solutions that can enhance our company’s performance,” said Mauri Kauppi , general manager of steel melting shop and hot rolling mill, Outokumpu Stainless Oy. “We trust Honeywell to be our partner and value their comprehensive local service and support.”

“Our technology should deliver higher usability and better functionality to Outokumpu’s automation process – which ultimately should lead to a higher quality product,” said Timo Saarelainen, managing director, Honeywell Finland. “This is a significant contract for us in that it both extends our long-standing relationship with Outokumpu and also builds our credentials with customers in steel manufacturing.”

霍尼韋爾芬蘭總經理Timo Saarelainen表示：“我們的技術應該為Outokumpu的自動化流程提供更高的可用性和更好的功能，最后獲得更優質量的產品。這是我們一份重要的合同，它不但拓展了我們與Outokumpu公司的長期合作關系，而且也與鋼鐵制造行業的客戶建立了信任。”
