菲尼克斯1月8日消息——霍尼韦尔今天宣布与BP勘探部达成一份六年协议，为BP这家油气领域的领导者新的和现有的工厂提供主自动化承包商(MAC) 服务。霍尼韦尔将通过整合工厂运营的所有级别和自动化关键流程，帮助BP勘探和生产部在这些工厂加快生产进度表以及改善效率。

“Automation will be a key to streamlining operations and improving business performance as we move into the future,” said Tim Bass, Director of Procurement & Supply Chain Management, Projects & Engineering. “Honeywell has the tools and experience to enable BP to implement its Automation strategy, improving integration and the operating efficiency of our assets.”

项目与工程部采购和供应链管理主管Tim Bass表示：“自动化将是我们未来精简运营和提供业务绩效的一个重点。霍尼韦尔的工具和经验可以使BP实施其自动化战略，提高我们资产的整合和运营效率。" 

As the MAC services provider, Honeywell can apply its integrated strategy to each design phase, including front-end engineering development, early operator training and process simulation, advanced control modeling, process validation and advanced process control. This integrated approach will result in common interfaces across production and business systems for increased safety and efficiency, higher plant availability, lower operating expenditures and reduced engineering.

作为主自动化承包商服务供应商，霍尼韦尔可以在每个设计阶段应用其整合策略，包括前期工程的开发、早期操作员的培训和流程模拟、高级控制模型、工艺验证和高级过程控制。这种综合方法将可以实现跨生产和业务系统的共同界面，提高安全性和效率，实现更高的工厂可用性，降低运营支出和降少施工等。

With Honeywell’s deep technology portfolio and integrated MAC approach, customers can intertwine process control, manufacturing execution systems (MES) and safety and security solutions. They can also further streamline implementation through the use of wireless-enabled applications such as Honeywell’s OneWireless industrial mesh network.

通过霍尼韦尔深厚的技术组合和统一的主自动化承包商的方式，客户可以把过程控制、制造执行系统（MES）和安全性以及安全解决方案交织在一起。他们还可以通过使用例如霍尔OneWireless工业网状网等无线通信功能的应用，进一步简化执行。

“Automation means more than monitoring process variables and engaging valves,” said Jack Bolick, president of Honeywell Process Solutions. “Automation technology becomes a strategic investment that directly impacts a plant’s profit margin. Creating a smart plant leads to better business performance across the company.”
