Honeywell has entered into an agreement to provide an advanced automated process control system with integrated wireless technology for Masteel, one of China’s largest iron and steel manufacturers. The contract – which includes Honeywell’s IntelaTrac PKS, as well as design, engineering, commissioning, testing and maintenance services – will help Masteel better control and manage its manufacturing process.
By integrating wireless technology into Honeywell's advanced application solutions, Masteel operators can upload all field information to a control center. This helps operators gather real-time field data more easily, increase asset life through continuous monitoring and improve employee safety. Additionally, Honeywell wireless technology helps plants improve compliance, safety and security, reliability and optimization.
Zhang Dali, the general manager of the Coking Company of Masteel, said, "In today's competitive environment, we need a total solution which helps us optimize our manufacturing process to ensure our continuous position as a leader in the industry. With Honeywell’s complete solution, we can improve our process-management capabilities and maintain a strong competitive edge."
In addition to IntelaTrac, Honeywell will provide Masteel with a process control system, Uniformance PHD, Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and its Digital Video Manager (DVM) system.
Thomas Liu, managing director, Greater China Region, Honeywell Process Solutions, stated, "China's iron and steel industry continues to grow rapidly, and the government’s development strategy for these industries focuses on technology innovation and industry structure adjustment. Technology like IntelaTrac and Uniformance can aid iron and steel manufacturers in meeting that requirement by making their operations more efficient, making sure their equipment is functioning properly and keeping workers safe. This helps them improve production capabilities and remain profitable."
