Honeywell OneWireless Terminal Solution

Honeywell has announced its OneWireless Terminal Solution, which brings together a portfolio of wireless-enabled products, services and productivity tools tailored for terminal operators. It is designed to enable operators of oil and gas terminals to increase their productivity while also complying with stringent health, safety and environment (HSE) regulations, all at significantly lower cost than wired technology.

The OneWireless Terminal Solution includes the ISA100-compatible Honeywell Enraf SmartRadar FlexLine wireless radar gauge. Requiring no external wireless module, the FlexLine’s integrated radio sends tank-level measurements securely and wirelessly to the central control room. The Flexline is also used as a data concentrator, collecting data from local tank instruments and sending the data wirelessly through the same ISA100 network.

The solution includes additional applications such as Honeywell’s mobile productivity tools (Field Advisor, Mobile Station and Experion Mobile Access), helping with the adoption of operator-driven reliability (ODR) programs and enabling operators to complete activities more efficiently and safely. Other applications include wireless fixed and portable gas detectors and wireless video, including Honeywell’s Digital Video Manager to enhance plant security and process monitoring.

Honeywell’s OneWireless Network enables all of these applications, which can be tailored to offer either ISA100-only coverage or ISA100 and Wi-Fi coverage. The OneWireless Network can implement Wi-Fi and ISA100 instrumentation coverage in a single network,  realising an additional 25% cost savings in material, installation and maintenance costs over other wireless solutions.
