Honeywell opens Automation Solution Center in Singapore
霍尼韦尔在新加坡设立自动化解决方案中心
April 12, 2013 – Honeywell opened an Automation Solution Center (ASC) in Singapore as a part of its global deployment of demonstration centers around the world. Designed to showcase Honeywell Process Solutions’ (HPS) state-of-the-art technologies to customers and partners in the Asia Pacific region, the center will help customers appreciate how Honeywell technologies can improve their operational safety, reliability and efficiency.
4月12日消息—— 作为其全球部署演示中心计划的一部分，霍尼韦尔在新加坡设立了一个自动化解决方案中心（ASC）。该中心旨在向亚太地区的客户和合作伙伴展示霍尼韦尔过程解决方案最先进的技术，帮助客户认识霍尼韦尔技术如何改善其运营的安全性、可靠性和效率。
The Experion Process Knowledge System and Experion Orion will be among the Honeywell control and safety systems showcased in this facility.
霍尼韦尔在该中心展示的控制系统和安全系统将包括Experion过程知识系统和Experion Orion。
“Our customers face an intensely competitive global environment and the establishment of this center will help them to understand and deploy key technologies that can enhance their competitiveness,” said Leong Hon Mun, sales director, South East Asia, HPS. “Honeywell’s solutions can help reduce risks during project pre-deployment and improve bottom-line performance during operations. We are pleased to make this investment as part of Honeywell’s commitment to the Asia-Pacific region.”
霍尼韦尔过程解决方案部东南亚销售总监Leong Hon Mun表示：“我们的客户面临竞争激烈的全球环境，这个中心的成立将有助于他们理解和部署关键技术，从而提高他们的竞争力。霍尼韦尔的解决方案可以帮助减少风险，在项目的前期部署和操作过程中，改善最低绩效。我们很高兴地看到，这项投资正是霍尼韦尔对亚太地区承诺的一部分。”
The ASC is equipped to showcase advanced Honeywell technologies such as Virtualization and Universal I/O. These technologies allow customers to build control strategies in a Honeywell-equipped project center and check it all prior to putting equipment on the ground.
该自动化解决方案中心配备了霍尼韦尔的先进技术，如虚拟化和通用I/O技术。这些技术使客户能够根据这个基于霍尼韦尔设备的工程中心，设定控制策略，并在设备投入使用前得到核查。
Virtualization reduces equipment lifecycle costs for customers. For example, a 30-node system of operator stations, engineering stations and servers can be consolidated down to just five virtual machine servers in a secured cabinet. “This is an 80-percent reduction in maintenance, space, energy use – and better security is achieved as well,” said Leong. Similarly, the center can demonstrate true universal process and safety I/O, which is only offered by Honeywell. The deployment of Universal I/O results in significantly lower project costs and risks for customers.
虚拟化技术为客户减少了设备生命周期成本。比如，一个拥有30个节点系统的操作员站，工程站和服务器可以合并到一个安全柜里面的五个虚拟机服务器。Leong说：“对于维护、空间、能源使用而言，这降低了80％的成本，而且安全性更好。”同样地，该中心可以演示由霍尼韦尔独家提供的通用过程和安全I/O。通用I/O的部署可以显著降低客户的项目成本和风险。
The ASC also showcases other key Honeywell technologies, such as Open Field Networks, Operator Training Simulators, Advanced Process Control, Optimization, Supply Chain Management and Manufacturing Execution Systems, providing a mix of virtual and physical experiences for customers at the center. This Singapore-based center also supports the Field Demo Units (FDU), which are deployed in each of the Asia-Pacific countries. These units provide virtual demonstrations at customer sites by leveraging the servers in the ASC through cloud technologies.
该自动化解决方案中心还展示了其他关键的霍尼韦尔技术，如开放式现场网络、操作员训练模拟器、先进过程控制、优化、供应链管理、制造执行系统，为客户提供一个虚拟和物理混合体验。新加坡的这个中心还支持在每个亚太国家都部署了的现场演示单元（FDU）。通过云技术，利用自动化解决方案中心的服务器，这些单元可以在客户网站提供虚拟演示。
