Mobile Station
Brand: Honeywell International IncHoneywell’s Mobile Station is a mobile workforce productivity solution that enables users to access critical process information, alarms, historical data, graphics and other key functions directly from the field, via a wireless connection.
What Is It?
Honeywell’s Mobile Station extends access to critical process information, historical data, graphics and other key functions to the field. Mobile Station comprises a powerful family of an Experion® Process Knowledge System (PKS) application suite and off-the-shelf rugged laptop or tablet computers used for relaying control system information to remote users where and when needed.
Whether using Honeywell’s eServer or Experion Station connection, these mobile workforce productivity solutions are optimized for specific customer applications, ranging from read-only access over the Intranet by multiple casual users to secure system access for mobile operators.
Using a wireless Station tablet or other handheld device, Mobile Station solutions simplify security and minimize performance impact on the control system. This uses existing mobile station displays and HMIWeb technology to eliminate costly and error-prone display reengineering.
How Does It Work?
Users connect the process control network via the secured OneWireless™ Network, Honeywell’s industrial wireless local area network. From the tablet PC or laptop, using Microsoft Terminal Services or a web browser, the mobile workforce remotely accesses a server operating one of the Mobile Access applications. The Mobile Access Suite is a comprehensive suite of mobile access applications that meet the many different requirements for delivering information to the field.
- Mobile Access for eServer Standard provides read-only access to Experion graphics with static data via a web browser.
- Mobile Access for eServer Premium provides read-only access to Experion graphics with dynamic data. This is accomplished via a Terminal Client connection to a Remote Engineering and Station Server (RESS) loaded with eServer Premium client and Terminal Services.
- Mobile Access for Station provides read-only and write access to Experion graphics with dynamic data. This is accomplished via a Terminal Client connection to a Remote Engineering and Station Server (RESS) loaded with Station and Terminal Services.
What Problems Does It Solve?
Mobile Station improves operations and maintenance by providing staff with access to process information that they can capture and distribute across the operation. A collaborative decision support environment between the field and the control room can help improve daily operations, emergency response during incidents and improves production uptime.
Mobile station also unifies the workspace between the board operator and the field operator. For maintenance staff, mobile workforce productivity solution can capture and distribute data on Honeywell’s Asset Manager application or other third party plant asset management applications.
