Houston, May 5, 2016: Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS) has said it had established a business unit to help manufacturers harness the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and more rapidly deploy technologies that would allow them to better manage and analyse data, making their operations safer, more reliable and more efficient.
“Since HPS’s introduction of the modern automation control system, we have helped plants and manufacturing sites around the world use an increasing amount of data to solve customer’s productivity and safety challenges,” said Vimal Kapur, HPS President. “As manufacturers are looking to take the next step to manage and exploit data across multiple sites in locations across the globe, our new business unit will be a focused resource to provide that expertise.”
