Honeywell's solution uses machine learning-powered analytics, a type of artificial intelligence, to gather insights from enterprise data sources such as distributed control systems and funnel those insights into dashboards. These dashboards can provide operations managers and supervisors with a clear and complete view of operator performance and improvement opportunities.
"According to the Abnormal Situation Management Consortium, 40% to 70% of industrial accidents are linked to human error," said Pramesh Maheshwari, vice president and general manager, Lifecycle Solutions and Services, Honeywell Process Solutions. "This underscores the importance of deploying an enterprise-wide competency program that empowers organizations and workers through use of advanced technologies like machine learning to improve plant performance, uptime, reliability and safety."
As part of Honeywell's Workforce Excellence portfolio, HALO Operator Advisor is a timely response to several industry trends, including the global desire for post-COVID-19 preparedness and resilience, growing operational complexity, the aging industrial workforce and the urgent need to upskill next-generation recruits.
Honeywell data reveals the transformational impact HALO Operator Advisor can have on plant operations. Potential benefits include the reduction of 75% of incidents and human errors, leading to the recovery of $1.5 million annually per plant of production loss due to worker performance; a $2 million annual reduction in operational costs by optimizing worker productivity and training and advancing toward full autonomous plant operation; a $1.3 million annual savings in headcount through optimized production; and a $1 million savings in annual maintenance costs through improved equipment reliability.

I am working on a project to integrate SAP IS-OIL ver 4.6c with Honeywell's Experion TAS. Experion TAS conforms to the TAS interface provided by SAP for integration with SAP using IDocs. The scenario that we need to implement is "Business Process for Shipments with Delivery Confirmation".
I am looking for information regaring RFC connection details in SM59 to tell SAP where to find Experion TAS. Usually, such products install a listener program that registers itself with an SAP gateway under a particular program id. There are other options in SM59 as well. I checked with the Honeywell's regional support team but they do not seem to have the information I am looking for. So I thought I should check with the SDN community if someone got a chance to work on such a project before and perhaps they can share their experiences. I'd appreciate if you could point me to the right resources for further information as well.
The guyz at the ICC have been quite prompt in replying. Christoph Claus, from the ICC team, contacted me through email. He highlighted that rather than me asking for the connection info, I should use Registration method and use ANY Program ID in SM59. Then I should send these details to the Honeywell team so that they update their SAPRFC.INI file accordingly.
We are integrating the same scenario with R/3 4.6c IS-Oil and FuelFacs system (provided by Control Systems International). I'm in charge of the development from both sides R/3 and 3th party system. Feel free to ask any questions.
First of all, I have been provided a SAP Toolkit from honeywell. I feed in the dummy information required in the form (enter the message type for example, OILORD, OILSHL, etc). The data gets transferred successfully to SAP but with errors (in tcode WE02).
I manually perform changes in WE19 and generate the outbound idocs but the main structure remains the same for all message types i.e. OILLDD whereas if the message type is OILSHL then its corresponding structure should be of OILSHL rather than OILLDD.
Experion PKS Orion now employs an expanded portfolio of solutions for improving project execution and commissioning, modernizing control system infrastructure, expanding standards compliance and interoperability, and providing a path for continuous technology evolution.

Honeywell Process Solutions (www.honeywellprocess.com) is a pioneer in automation control, instrumentation and services for the oil and gas; refining; pulp and paper; industrial power generation; chemicals and petrochemicals; biofuels; life sciences; and metals, minerals and mining industries.
Honeywell re-designed the plant's control room with BASF's Industrie 4.0 initiative in mind. Virtualization technology delivers consolidated plant information to operators via eight large-screen Experion Orion Consoles, which also embed traditionally separate Microsoft Office desktop applications alongside the distributed control system one. Two Experion Collaboration Stations enable BASF to run production meetings more efficiently by using real-time data and online documents.
As part of Honeywell's Experion Process Knowledge System, 29 C300 Controllers and 20,000 I/O modules facilitate plant-wide monitoring, improve safety and fire protection, and increase reliability. In addition, a new MediluX lighting system in the control room improves visual conditions for operators day and night, reducing eye strain and fatigue.
"This strategic project is a prime example of how Industrie 4.0 is transforming industrial operations," Kapur said. "Previously, BASF operators had to gather and piece together data to form a high-level view. Now, critical information is digitally consolidated and streamed onto central displays, transforming efficiency, productivity and decision-making."
The plant's six incinerators process hazardous waste that cannot be reused or recycled and convert it into steam and electrical power. The clean, reusable energy is channeled back into BASF's production processes, helping the company save resources and reduce emissions.
The incineration plant serves more than 200 BASF production facilities within the company's flagship,10-square-kilometer production site as well as facilities outside the BASF complex. The reliability of the plant is critical to BASF's wider production operations because any standstill could potentially affect the world's largest chemical complex as a whole.
