November 14, 2012 - Honeywell released the Enhanced High-Performance Process Manager (EHPM) for migrating a legacy DCS to the Experion Process Knowledge System. Cost of migration is significantly reduced by preserving control strategies and wiring.
Honeywell’s EHPM solution streamlines plant modernization by significantly reducing risks associated with a legacy system upgrade and reducing plant downtime.
EHPM is the latest step in Honeywell’s commitment to continuous evolution. In 2004, the company introduced the Experion Station for TPS, which allowed users to capture new operational benefits through improved process visualization, better alarm management, and the ability to automate procedures. This evolution continues with EHPM.
Honeywell’s modernization roadmap incorporates full flexibility in lifecycle planning, including long-term support of existing equipment for life expectancy extensions and upgrades for plant performance improvements. Honeywell’s support and expertise help industrial facilities protect current investments and extended system lifecycle.
“Honeywell’s commitment to continuous evolution allows plants to take what was once a legacy system and gradually, in a step-by-step fashion, move it forward such that it becomes part of a new, modern system while at the same time protecting the plant’s intellectual property,” says Jason Urso, vice president and chief technology officer, Honeywell Process Solutions.
“EHPM maintains a safe and reliable system while modernizing and evolving with the most advanced technologies,” said Urso. “It keeps established, reliable systems running longer, extends uptime, and preserves investment in wiring, control algorithms, and displays.”
