Process Enhancement, Simulation Software and Control Solutions
Process units operating in isolation can miss coordination opportunities that affect margin. Honeywell advance process control and plantwide enhancement software helps establish end-to-end visibility across controllers, material flows and constraint limits. Dynamic models pull live process data to help synchronize unit-level targets with facility objectives. Our industrial process enhancement solutions are used widely to improve refining and petrochemical facilities, upstream oil and gas production, mining, chemical manufacturing, and many other industries. Your operations gain the tools to help balance inventories, route materials to high-value grades and tighten quality targets based on real-time conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Industrial Process Improvement
Continuous processes with multiple interacting variables can see the greatest gains. This includes refining units like crude distillation and fluid catalytic cracking, chemical reactors, polymerization lines, gas processing plants and power generation. Fuel, gasoline and chemical blending and movement operations can also benefit from advanced control and recipe improvement. Industries served by advanced process control software include oil and gas, chemicals, pulp and paper, mining, metals and pharmaceuticals.
Rather than requiring a full replacement, our integrated solutions work with your current infrastructure, connecting with major DCS platforms and third-party systems via standard protocols like OPC. They pull data from historians, push setpoints to controllers and exchange information with planning systems.
Many deployments show improvement within weeks of go-live. APC projects can reduce energy use and improve yield in the first months.1 Plantwide enhancement helps builds on APC gains and can unlock additional value as the scope expands.2 Timelines vary based on process complexity and project scope: typical implementations range from a few months for single-unit APC to a year or more for facility-wide integrated solutions.
