霍尼韋爾實時定位系統(tǒng)改善安全及安防，對資產(chǎn)和人員進(jìn)行定位 菲尼克斯6月11日新聞――霍尼威爾今天推出其霍尼威爾實時定位系統(tǒng)（HILS）。工業(yè)制造商可運用該系統(tǒng)確保安全性，并對企業(yè)內(nèi)人員以及貴重資產(chǎn)進(jìn)行管理。 HILS將現(xiàn)今最先進(jìn)的識別技術(shù)和定位技術(shù)，包括超寬頻技術(shù)（UWB）、全球定位系統(tǒng)（GPS）、Wi-Fi和主動式無線射頻技術(shù)（RFID）集成在霍尼韋爾的過程自動化系統(tǒng)，Experion® 過程知識系統(tǒng) 中。通過安裝在全廠不同位置，接收器可以精確定位每一名員工或者任何一件設(shè)備的位置，并將該信息發(fā)送回HILS服務(wù)器，該服務(wù)器直接將該信息反饋給操作員工作站。接收器可以利用霍尼韋爾新型OneWireless™網(wǎng)絡(luò)來無線傳輸數(shù)據(jù)。 霍尼韋爾過程控制事業(yè)部總裁Jack Bolick說：“當(dāng)工廠出現(xiàn)緊急情況時，每一秒鐘對于準(zhǔn)確的確定人員位置都是異常寶貴的。以外，工作人員為尋找一件設(shè)備而花費數(shù)小時，這便浪費了生產(chǎn)時間。雖然定位不是一個過程變量，但卻是一個可以被監(jiān)測、可被用來改善運營以及降低成本的變量。更重要的是，精確及時的定位技術(shù)可以拯救人員的生命。” 重大工廠事故發(fā)生后的幾秒鐘內(nèi)，HILS可以通過貼在訪客和員工衣物上的標(biāo)簽追蹤到訪客和員工，同時生成實時報告。這些報告使緊急協(xié)調(diào)員能夠迅速獲得準(zhǔn)確的人數(shù)，并對失蹤的或者受傷人員進(jìn)行定位。 通過與Experion進(jìn)行整合，HILS可以利用設(shè)備與人員的地理定位信息來提高工廠的安全性。例如，HILS可以利用互鎖裝置來確保只有當(dāng)操作人員與加工機(jī)械保持安全距離時，才會執(zhí)行危險程序。 Bolick說：“這是第一個考慮到過程工業(yè)環(huán)境而進(jìn)行設(shè)計的實時定位系統(tǒng)。通過將該技術(shù)與控制系統(tǒng)進(jìn)行集成，可以極大方便生產(chǎn)廠商更加清楚其廠區(qū)內(nèi)所發(fā)生的事件，并幫助生產(chǎn)廠商實現(xiàn)更佳安全以及高效的生產(chǎn)運營?！? original text： [COLOR=#708090]HONEYWELL INTRODUCES REAL-TIME LOCATOR SYSTEM FOR MANUFACTURING FACILITIES Honeywell Instant Location System Improves Safety and Security, Locates Assets and People PHOENIX, June 11, 2007 – Honeywell （NYSE:HON） today introduced its Honeywell Instant Location System （HILS）, a real-time location solution that industrial manufacturers can use to ensure safety, improve security and manage people and valuable assets within their facilities. HILS integrates the latest identification and location technologies available today, such as Ultra-Wideband （UWB）, Global Positioning Systems （GPS）, Wi-Fi and active radio-frequency identification （RFID）, with Honeywell‘s process automation system, Experion® Process Knowledge System （PKS）. Installed at locations throughout a facility, receivers can pinpoint the location of an employee or piece of equipment and send the information to the HILS server, which directly feeds the information to the operator‘s workstation. The receivers can transmit data wirelessly using Honeywell‘s new OneWireless™ network. “Every second counts when you‘re trying to locate employees during a plant emergency. Additionally, when employees spend hours looking for a lost piece of equipment, it wastes production time,” said Jack Bolick, president of Honeywell Process Solutions. “Location is not a process variable, but it is a variable that can be monitored and used to improve operations and reduce costs. More importantly, it can save lives.” Within seconds of a major plant incident, HILS can track employees and visitors through personal tags attached to their clothing and generate real-time mustering reports. These reports allow emergency responders to quickly obtain accurate headcounts and locate missing or injured employees. Integrated with Experion, HILS can use equipment and personnel geo-location information to improve plant safety. For example, HILS can use interlocks to ensure dangerous procedures are only executed when personnel are a safe distance from a process unit or machinery. “This is the first real-time location system designed with the process industry environment in mind,” said Bolick. “Integrating this technology with the control system produces a solution that gives manufacturers even greater awareness of what‘s happening in their facilities. That awareness leads to safer and more efficient operations.”[/COLOR]
