Connecting the mobile workforce in a digital age

In this discussion, Honeywell will explore the challenges faced by today’s operators in regard to the mobile worker. Manual processes can often lead to delays, errors and create data gaps. The processes are normally reactive, and downtime can occur at high costs. Honeywell Forge is a force multiplier for your digital workforce.

Through digital solutions such as Honeywell Forge Inspection Rounds, manual and paper-based processes are replaced with standardised digital and automated workflows, helping increase process efficiency, minimise errors, and prevent unplanned interruptions. Gathering data is one key important step but the ability to connect to subject matter experts and gain quick access to knowledge are additional key solutions that can be deployed today, with a quick turnaround and ROI. Remote assistance through audio and video calling, instant messaging and virtual assistance, can help connect to subject matter expertise to bring the knowledge gap. Real-time data access to videos, documents, process and asset data, alarms and notifications and sensor data help key personnel make important decisions quickly with better information. Safety is important. These solutions will provide location assistance and communications to help customers meet goal zero.

Please join Honeywell for additional information and a demonstration of their solutions to see firsthand the value that they can provide.
