Honeywell said that it will help the British energy giant accelerate production schedules and improve efficiency in these facilities by integrating all levels of plant operations and automating critical processes.

As the main automation contractor (MAC) services provider, Honeywell will apply its integrated strategy to each design phase, including front-end engineering development, early operator training and process simulation, advanced control modeling, process validation and advanced process control.

Honeywell said that by using its deep technology portfolio and integrated MAC approach, customers can intertwine process control, manufacturing execution systems (MES) and safety and security solutions.

Jack Bolick, president of Honeywell Process Solutions, said: When part of a larger, integrated approach, automation technology becomes a strategic investment that directly impacts a plant’s profit margin. Creating a smart plant leads to better business performance across the company.
