Honeywell opens Automation Solution Center in Singapore

霍尼韋爾在新加坡設立自動化解決方案中心

April 12, 2013 – Honeywell opened an Automation Solution Center (ASC) in Singapore as a part of its global deployment of demonstration centers around the world. Designed to showcase Honeywell Process Solutions’ (HPS) state-of-the-art technologies to customers and partners in the Asia Pacific region, the center will help customers appreciate how Honeywell technologies can improve their operational safety, reliability and efficiency.

4月12日消息—— 作為其全球部署演示中心計劃的一部分，霍尼韋爾在新加坡設立了一個自動化解決方案中心（ASC）。該中心旨在向亞太地區(qū)的客戶和合作伙伴展示霍尼韋爾過程解決方案最先進的技術，幫助客戶認識霍尼韋爾技術如何改善其運營的安全性、可靠性和效率。

The Experion Process Knowledge System and Experion Orion will be among the Honeywell control and safety systems showcased in this facility.

霍尼韋爾在該中心展示的控制系統(tǒng)和安全系統(tǒng)將包括Experion過程知識系統(tǒng)和Experion Orion。

“Our customers face an intensely competitive global environment and the establishment of this center will help them to understand and deploy key technologies that can enhance their competitiveness,” said Leong Hon Mun, sales director, South East Asia, HPS. “Honeywell’s solutions can help reduce risks during project pre-deployment and improve bottom-line performance during operations. We are pleased to make this investment as part of Honeywell’s commitment to the Asia-Pacific region.”

霍尼韋爾過程解決方案部東南亞銷售總監(jiān)Leong Hon Mun表示：“我們的客戶面臨競爭激烈的全球環(huán)境，這個中心的成立將有助于他們理解和部署關鍵技術，從而提高他們的競爭力。霍尼韋爾的解決方案可以幫助減少風險，在項目的前期部署和操作過程中，改善最低績效。我們很高興地看到，這項投資正是霍尼韋爾對亞太地區(qū)承諾的一部分。”

The ASC is equipped to showcase advanced Honeywell technologies such as Virtualization and Universal I/O. These technologies allow customers to build control strategies in a Honeywell-equipped project center and check it all prior to putting equipment on the ground.

該自動化解決方案中心配備了霍尼韋爾的先進技術，如虛擬化和通用I/O技術。這些技術使客戶能夠根據(jù)這個基于霍尼韋爾設備的工程中心，設定控制策略，并在設備投入使用前得到核查。

Virtualization reduces equipment lifecycle costs for customers. For example, a 30-node system of operator stations, engineering stations and servers can be consolidated down to just five virtual machine servers in a secured cabinet. “This is an 80-percent reduction in maintenance, space, energy use – and better security is achieved as well,” said Leong. Similarly, the center can demonstrate true universal process and safety I/O, which is only offered by Honeywell. The deployment of Universal I/O results in significantly lower project costs and risks for customers.

虛擬化技術為客戶減少了設備生命周期成本。比如，一個擁有30個節(jié)點系統(tǒng)的操作員站，工程站和服務器可以合并到一個安全柜里面的五個虛擬機服務器。Leong說：“對于維護、空間、能源使用而言，這降低了80％的成本，而且安全性更好。”同樣地，該中心可以演示由霍尼韋爾獨家提供的通用過程和安全I/O。通用I/O的部署可以顯著降低客戶的項目成本和風險。

The ASC also showcases other key Honeywell technologies, such as Open Field Networks, Operator Training Simulators, Advanced Process Control, Optimization, Supply Chain Management and Manufacturing Execution Systems, providing a mix of virtual and physical experiences for customers at the center. This Singapore-based center also supports the Field Demo Units (FDU), which are deployed in each of the Asia-Pacific countries. These units provide virtual demonstrations at customer sites by leveraging the servers in the ASC through cloud technologies.

該自動化解決方案中心還展示了其他關鍵的霍尼韋爾技術，如開放式現(xiàn)場網絡、操作員訓練模擬器、先進過程控制、優(yōu)化、供應鏈管理、制造執(zhí)行系統(tǒng)，為客戶提供一個虛擬和物理混合體驗。新加坡的這個中心還支持在每個亞太國家都部署了的現(xiàn)場演示單元（FDU）。通過云技術，利用自動化解決方案中心的服務器，這些單元可以在客戶網站提供虛擬演示。
