Honeywell Announces New Wireless Technology for Safer, More Efficient Terminal Operators

Honeywell’s new OneWireless Terminal Solution enables operators of oil and gas terminals to increase their productivity while also complying with stringent health, safety and environment (HSE) regulations, all at significantly lower cost than wired technology.

“There is constant pressure on terminal operators and owners to improve productivity, efficiency, safety and security with limited capital and operating budgets. The OneWireless Terminal Solution helps enable customers to achieve these goals within their budgets,” said Ray Rogowski, global marketing director, Honeywell Process Solutions. “In a competitive industry, terminal operators are investing in tank automation to meet new safety regulations as well as continuously looking for ways to manage costs. Wireless-enabled tank gauging is less expensive, at about half the cost of the wired alternative.”

Unique in the industry, OneWireless Terminal Solution includes ISA100-compatible Honeywell Enraf SmartRadar FlexLine, the highest-precision wireless radar gauge available. Requiring no external wireless module, the FlexLine’s integrated radio sends tank level measurements securely and wirelessly to the central control room. The Flexline is also used as a data concentrator, collecting data from local tank instruments and sending the data wirelessly through the same ISA100 network.

Taking the solution beyond tank gauging, the OneWireless Terminal Solution includes additional applications such as Honeywell’s mobile productivity tools (Field Advisor, Mobile Station and Experion® Mobile Access), helping with the adoption of operator driven reliability (ODR) programs and enabling operators to complete activities more efficiently and safely. Other applications include wireless fixed and portable gas detectors and wireless video, including Honeywell’s Digital Video Manager to enhance plant security and process monitoring. For a mid-size petrochemical facility, ODR and these wireless applications could generate more than $1 million in annual cost savings.

Honeywell’s OneWireless Network enables all of these applications, which can be tailored to offer either ISA100-only coverage or ISA100 and Wi-Fi coverage.  Unlike competitive offerings, the OneWireless Network can implement Wi-Fi and ISA100 instrumentation coverage in a single network, realizing an additional 25% cost savings in material, installation and maintenance costs over other wireless solutions. OneWireless Terminal Solution also includes Honeywell’s industry-leading engineering and after-market services.

“The viability and acceptance of wireless technology in our industry is now reaching a tipping point,” said Richard Thompson, general manager-Honeywell Enraf. “Honeywell invested early on in the OneWireless product suite to allow customers to focus on their primary business, rather than the technology. With Honeywell OneWireless we can seamlessly manage the data traffic across multiple solutions and multiple wireless standards.”

The OneWireless Terminal Solution will be available in the third quarter of 2013, along with the ISA100 compatible version of SmartRadar FlexLine and OneWireless™ Network R220. For more information please visit www.honeywellprocess.com

Condition Monitoring with a Digital Camera

The oil and gas industry has become critical for sustained operations and long-term asset reliability. When it comes to condition monitoring, expensive technologies, extensive training, and years of development often come to mind, especially regarding rotating equipment. Tools, such as vibration spectrum analysis, thermal imaging, oil lubrication analysis, and motor current analysis, provide valuable snapshots in time and have been useful in practice for quite some time.

Beyond the Bellows: How One Root Cause Failure Analysis Sparked Cultural Transformation in Refinery Reliability

Sometimes, technical problems are symptoms of deeper cultural and operational issues. This article explores how a deep dive into recurring fluid catalytic cracker (FCC) expansion joint failures led to far-reaching insights, not just about metallurgy and maintenance, but about a refinery's decision-making, communications and reliability culture. It’s a case where the root cause wasn’t just in the metal, but in the mindset.

Quick Time to Value: How to Accelerate ROI in EAM Implementation

Enterprise asset management (EAM) implementation is sometimes misperceived as a complex, resource-intensive endeavor. But that perception is rooted in legacy approaches and outdated systems.

Optimize Operations in 7 Steps: The Strategic Art of Maintenance Planning and Scheduling

Effective maintenance planning and scheduling are essential to prevent unplanned asset failures from dictating your schedules and driving your budgets. In a reactive, unplanned environment, maintenance efforts falter—funds meant for proactive upkeep are instead wasted on waiting for parts, delayed equipment transfers, and emergency fixes that disrupt planned work

Case Study: How Waites Cemented $1 Million in Savings by Eliminating Unplanned Downtime for Buzzi Unicem USA

Minimizing downtime in the cement manufacturing industry is crucial, as each minute of operational delay can lead to significant financial repercussions.

Laying the Groundwork: The Role of Naming Conventions in Spare Parts Management Success

This article outlines best practices for overcoming these hurdles and highlights the foundational elements of a successful spare parts management approach.

Industry 5.0 Is Empowering Today’s Factory Workers and It’s a Long Overdue Revolution

The impacts of Industry 4.0 and its younger sibling, Industry 5.0, fall right down to today’s factory workers. While embedded automation and optimization within the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 have the power to drive new efficiencies, they have also led to the introduction of more complex job roles and tasks, but for fewer frontline workers.

From Data to Action: The Complex Path of Advanced Analytics and Reliability in Industry

In today's industrial landscape, the buzz around advanced analytics is hard to ignore. Companies are increasingly looking to harness the power of data to drive efficiency, reduce downtime, and gain a competitive edge. However, the journey from collecting data to taking actionable steps based on that data is far from straightforward.

Engaging and Retaining the Asset Management Workforce

Employee engagement and retention are critical for the success of asset management organizations. High turnover rates and labor shortages pose significant challenges, impacting operational efficiency, safety and overall workforce morale.

Do or Do Not

Data analysis is critical to understanding problems and decision-making. Analysis that is not followed up by an action is likely a wasted opportunity, but not always.
