Honeywell has announced enhanced capabilities for its Safety
Suite 2.0 software platform, offering broader visibility into portable gas
detection device fleets for safety leaders in refineries, chemical plants,
utilities and first responder operations.
With additional historical data, enhanced dashboards and
forecasting capabilities, the unified software ecosystem enables operators to
better protect workers in real time, track and forecast compliance metrics and
manage device inventory effectively.
“Safety Suite empowers leaders to detect potential hazards
early, prioritise corrective actions and continuously improve safety
performance to protect workers on the job,” said Armando Pazos, President, Honeywell Industrial Measurement and Control.
“When operations teams can connect insights from historical trends and
real-time metrics, organisations can shift from reactive responses to a
proactive, safety-first approach. This helps to reduce risk, enable faster,
more informed decision-making and strengthen a culture where worker safety is
embedded in every process, asset and outcome.”
Connected safety capabilities are critical not only to
safeguard people but also to detect incidents early and help avoid costly
infrastructure damage. For instance, responding to gas leaks can cost fire
departments more than $500 million in a single year.
With Safety Suite 2.0, safety managers can view past trends
to help identify risk patterns and review historical alarm events from a
centralised location. This supports post-incident investigations and informs
safety training.
The software platform also helps support coverage for all
workers and improves efficiency through connected insights and enhanced
capabilities, including:
Customisable dashboards that consolidate exposure data,
compliance status and fleet health into clear visual summaries, making outcome measurement
and audits quicker and easier.
Real-time alerts pushed to employees, notifying them of
critical events or upcoming needs to bump test devices, helping keep operations
running smoothly and avoid costly downtime.
Real-time readings from workers’ gas detectors, providing
quick visibility into safety conditions across facilities or locations.
Guided and automated workflows for onboarding, assigning,
calibrating and returning devices to inventory, saving time and improving
tracking of portable technologies assigned to a team, an individual or several
people across different shifts.
