With Honeywell’s commitment to continuous technology evolution, plants can take what

was once a legacy system and gradually, in a step-by-step fashion, move it forward to

become part of a new, modern system while at the same time protecting existing asset investments.

This strategy maintains safe and reliable controls while modernizing and

evolving with the most advanced technologies. It keeps established, reliable

systems running longer, extends uptime, and preserves investments in

hardware and network infrastructure.

Challenges

In an uncertain global economy, every manufacturer is under growing

pressure to reduce costs while improving performance.

Plants running the TotalPlant™ Solution (TPS) system need to avoid

obsolescence by employing modern technology. TPS introduced in 1998.

helped establish open plant automation with a host of advanced

applications. However, its users are now dealing with compliance issues

related to new safety regulations, as well as increasing system support challenges.
