Today’s control solution needs to be affordable, user friendly and easily configured. It must be able to simultaneously perform a variety of tasks and functions, including regulatory control, high-speed logic, batch control, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), building security, environment control, safety management, and more. It must be robust and redundant to maximize time on line. Today’s solution must be fully integrated and modular. It must be truly open and scaleable to keep pace with process requirements that may change or grow on a moment’s notice.

To meet these diverse control requirements Honeywell has within its product portfolio two prime control systems. The TotalPlant Solutions (TPS), which is a conventional DCS architecture, specifically aimed at the Petroleum Refining and Petrochemical industry and the PlantScape® system which meets the requirements of the chemicals, oil and gas, power and energy, waste water treatment facilities, pharmaceuticals and food and beverage industries.

Honeywell’s PlantScape® system is the first powerful, yet affordable system to address the full range of hybrid control needs. The PlantScape family of solutions includes PlantScape Process, featuring the Honeywell hybrid controller and PlantScape SCADA for hybrid control from dispersed, remote or unmanned operations. 

Only one UK company can design, engineer and manage a project that involves every aspect of automation including process control, advanced control, process simulation, safety systems and environmental controls; then install, commission and support it throughout its lifetime.

That company is Honeywell
