Honeywell launches Experion Mobile Access

Honeywell has unveiled Experion Mobile Access, a mobility application that provides secure remote access to Honeywell’s Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) through mobile computing devices. Experion Mobile Access enables field operators to view and respond to live information from Experion PKS while they are on rounds or inspecting the plant.

Operations teams, including field operators, are key stakeholders in operator-driven reliability (ODR) programs undertaken by plants to reduce maintenance costs and increase operating efficiency. ODR programs require field operators to become actively involved in basic and proactive maintenance activities that necessitate the use of real-time information from control systems such as process values, trends or alarms.

To enable plant and field operators’ need for fast-and-easy access to plant data, Honeywell has developed Experion Mobile Access, which works securely with the Experion PKS architecture and Honeywell’s OneWireless Network. This software application provides seamless field data access for plants with complex processes and expansive footprints that rely on a large mobile operator staff for proper operations, and to support the availability of process equipment.

Ray Rogowski, Director – Wireless Marketing, Honeywell Process Solutions, said, “Experion Mobile Access helps field operation teams find and avert process conditions that could affect production output. The recent ODR cases studies have shown that an average-size refinery or chemical plant can see up to $1 million per year in savings, a 15-per cent improvement in mean time between failure of assets and a 10-per cent reduction in maintenance costs.”
