12 Jan 2010
Offenbach, Germany – Honeywell Process Solutions has appointed 10 system integrators in Germany to sell and support its Experion LS process control system for small to medium-sized manufacturers. The integrators, said Honeywell, will help it to expand its presence into industries that require a combination of loop, logic and batch automation, such as speciality chemicals, secondary pharmaceuticals and food & beverage.
The system integrators were selected for their engineering expertise and capabilities, geographic coverage and synergy with Honeywell’s business development program. They include: Actemium Controlmatic, Frankfurt; Ako-Tec, Euskirchen; cts, Burgkirchen; EMP, Leverkusen; Indurest (SPC), Wesseling; Kiel Engineering, Oberhausen; LeiKon, Herzogenrath; Rösberg Engineering, Karlsruhe; SpiraTec, Speyer; Stadler+Schaaf, Offenbach.
Experion LS is a small, flexible process control system and part of Honeywell Experion PKS process control platform. It is designecd to manage process control and optimize batch and sequence-oriented applications. Scalable from a single PC and controller to multiple stations, Experion LS is designed for smaller production facilities because it allows manufacturers to better respond to market needs and changes while offering robust process and batch control features.
According to Honeywell, plant operators can use Experion LS to more easily modify batch recipes and boost production. Because it requires less engineering effort to configure and is easier to maintain than a PLC or large DCS, Experion LS can help manufacturers save up to €15,000 per year in support per system.
“The selection of these system integrators is an important step in our strategy to sell process control systems to small and medium-sized companies in batch industries,” said Elgonda la Grange, regional general manager, Northern Europe, Honeywell Process Solutions. “These system integrators are deeply qualified to support us as we pursue joint business opportunities.”
