Q: How does the Honeywell solution reduce system validation costs?A: Configuration Management is built into the Honeywell engineering tools, greatly reducing the manual effort required in the operational phase of the system lifecycle. High levels of modularity are used so that a single controlled software object can be implemented in multiple instances. Each module is independent and cannot be changed on a per instance basis. This reduces the testing time for re-used objects.
Q: Where has Honeywell implemented this solution for API?A: The Honeywell solution is in use in many pharmaceutical intermediate and bi-pharma plants. Our solution has been implemented by a number of major pharmaceutical manufacturers in the Americas and Europe.
Q: How does Honeywell provide support for this solution?A: Project implementation support is provided by Honeywell Project Services, and lifecycle support is provided by the Honeywell service organization. These groups are organized geographically and have local capability in most regions of the world.
Q: Who can provide cyber security for this solution?A: Honeywell Project Services can help you design and configure an overall network, including the important considerations of cyber security. There are many hundreds of Honeywell installations using this technology.
Q: How can users get trained on a Honeywell solution?A: Training is provided via the service organization. Training schools can be found in most areas, with courses run on a scheduled basis. Where the number of students justifies on-site training, courses can also be arranged.
Q: What operating system technology does Honeywell use?A: Honeywell uses Microsoft Windows technology in a client/server configuration. Industry standard server and workstation hardware is used in tested combinations. Cisco technology is used for communication.
