Honeywell controls asset management

The Industry Solutions business of Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions has launched Asset Manager PKS, a knowledge-driven asset management solution that increases control system effectiveness by monitoring automatically and continuously the condition of plant assets.

Asset Manager PKS is embedded within Experion PKS, Honeywell's Process Knowledge System that is used in industrial plants to control, monitor and integrate complex processes.

It continuously monitors the status, events and operating conditions of all Experion PKS assets and field-connected devices, resulting in an efficient maintenance solution that reduces instrument and control maintenance costs by up to 30%, the company claims.

'Asset Manager PKS allows organisations to control and manage all asset-related aspects of processes from the smallest field-connected device to some of the most complicated processes,' said Greg Irving, vp of technology for Honeywell Industry Solutions. 'Time spent managing and configuring asset management activities is reduced by 90%.'
