Corporate Vision January 2017
, Withmore than 130,000 employees worldwide, Honeywell Building Solutions has more than 115 years’ experience in creating and operating optimized buildings. Here, we profile what the firm has done in the technology industry to become ‘Best Global Clean Energy Solutions Company’. A Safer and Cleaner Workplace Honeywell installs and maintains the systems that help keep customer workplaces safer, energy efficient, sustainable and productive. The firm works in a wide range of buildings and mission critical facilities around the world, including commercial offices, landmark buildings, airports, ports, rail stations, stadia, large retail facilities, hospitals, schools, universities, government buildings, museums, casinos, hotels, data centers and pharmaceutical facilities. From their worldwide network of local branch offices, Honeywell delivers customized building solutions of the highest quality, including: • HVAC and Building Management Systems • Building Automation & Building Optimization/Service Solutions • Integrated Security Solutions • Energy Management Services (including Performance Contracting) • Mechanical Maintenance, Upgrades, and Retrofits • Fire Detection and Life Safety Solutions • Emergency Communications including PA/VA Solutions • Building Networks & Convergence Solutions Honeywell Building Solutions is part of Honeywell Homes and Building Technology (HBT), a global business with more than 44,000 employees worldwide. HBT creates products, software and technologies found in more than 150 million homes and 10 million buildings worldwide. Honeywell is a Fortune 100 diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes, and industry; turbochargers; and performance materials. A recent example of Honeywell’s innovation is the announcement in November 2016 of their mobile software application, which enables building occupants to tap into Internet of Things capabilities to address common building issues, such as temperature settings and access control. Honeywell developed this app to combat and overcome these pitfalls. The Honeywell Vector Occupant App combines the convenience of today’s mobile devices with connected building features to give users more control over their comfort levels and ability to securely move about the workplace. The new software is the latest example of Honeywell’s leadership in the Internet of Things around connected buildings. The new app provides digital identification and integrates with core building functions, including access and comfort control, to enhance building occupants’ experience with the touch of a screen. The app’s access control capability eliminates the need for physical cards or fobs and gives users secure access via their smart phones. In addition, occupants can quickly and easily communicate temperature discomfort to prompt real-time adjustments instead of the more time-consuming process of seeking out a facility manager. Facility managers benefit from immediate insight into where and how comfortable occupants are so they can make adjustments more quickly and easily. And the app’s digital identification and access control capabilities make it easier to manage occupant credentials, eliminating the need to keep track of and replace misplaced access cards. The app features: • Digital Identification – Eliminates the need for plastic badges or temporary tags and solves the issue of outdated photo IDs by providing an up-to-date photograph. • Convenient Access Control – Builds on the app’s digital identification feature, offering mobile-based access control that can easily be managed by a facility and eliminate the need to track and replace cards or fobs. Occupants have one less item to carry and can open doors from greater distances than traditional key cards and fobs. • One-Click Hot/Cold Calls – Provides a quick and direct way for occupants to indicate when their work areas are too hot or too cold, and to receive confirmation that their issues are being addressed. Facility managers are alerted to occupants’ discomfort right away and can view the location of the call, identify patterns, and quickly make adjustments to satisfy occupants. The Honeywell Vector Occupant App is part of Honeywell’s approach to connected services, which leverages the connectivity of buildings to improve how they operate and the experiences they offer for those who visit and work within them. The app is also the latest addition to Honeywell’s mobile software strategy, a significant part of the company’s efforts to provide the latest technology innovations to help keep facilities safe, secure, comfortable, productive and energy efficient. Future enhancements and capabilities are planned for the app that will take advantage of building connectivity. With innovations such as the Vector Occupant App, Honeywell has displayed its commitment to innovation and in the future, plans to strive for further technology improvements to client workplaces.
