Fertilizer manufacturers are continually looking for ways to increase the performance of all their resources—people, processes, business resources and assets to maintain their edge in a very competitive market. They also know that when the right information is presented to the right user in a timely manner, it makes a big difference in driving efficiency and cost reduction efforts. It enables plant personnel to be much more productive because they spend less time gathering data and generating reports and more time using the information to make decisions on the current issues.
A Plant Information Management System should enable personnel to focus on a common set key performance metrics that reflect the overall business goals but are arranged in a hierarchical manner that enables the user to drill down to the root cause of a performance deviation. The performance metrics should be as near to real-time as possible, be able to indicate potential operational problems and how they may impact production, and also how the problem can be alleviated.
Honeywell’s Fertilizer Plant Information Management System (PIMS) solution is a complete solution for managing the manufacturing execution phase of Fertilizer production. With near real-time access to business information, better decisions can be identified and executed that help manufacturers achieve greater plant profitability and gain a competitive edge. The solution relies on Honeywell’s robust Uniformance PHD database system to provide the underlying infrastructure, Experion’s embedded Workcenter for data visualization, and a host of integrated business applications that allow bi-directional flow of information and improve collaboration across the organization and supply chain.
Honeywell has been on the technology forefront for decades, helping manufacturers improve business performance and peace of mind by developing solutions that turn resources into results.
