Honeywell has implemented its Connected Plant Asset Performance at its Kodama turbocharger plant located in Saitama, Japan. The cloud-based technology allows the company’s Transportation Systems business to remotely identify, analyze and optimize energy consumption of the overall plant as well as all connected field devices.
Asset Performance connects assets and equipment to the cloud and applies analytical models from Honeywell and its partners to monitor and predict future asset performance, helping customers avoid critical asset failures and unplanned shutdowns. The Connected Plant technology is vendor-neutral and can be tailored and rapidly deployed through pre-configured templates based on Honeywell’s extensive industry experience. As a centrally-managed Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, it requires minimal infrastructure and reduces maintenance costs.
Asset Performance operates in three stages at the Kodama plant:
- Data is collected from nearly 70 different field devices such as power meters, flow meters and air compressors and is securely transported to the cloud-based environment of Asset Performance.
- The Asset Performance solution combines process data with asset data to provide analytics and key performance indicators (KPIs) that provide insight to plant management into asset performance and energy consumption, enabling proactive actions to ensure the highest level of reliability and manufacturing performance.
- With the help of its robust analytical results, Asset Performance helps Transportation Systems better forecast the plant’s energy consumption and integrate with their third-party ISO 50001 energy management solution.
