霍尼韦尔为芬兰钢铁厂安装Experion系统

KUOPIO, Finland, March 20, 2008 -- Honeywell announced a $2 million contract to implement its Experion Process Knowledge System with a Process, Machine and Drives (PMD) Controller at a Tornio, Finland production plant operated by Outokumpu, a €6 billion international stainless steel company. The project, which is designed to boost manufacturing efficiency at the plant, strengthens Honeywell’s presence in serving the steel sector.

Kuopio 3月20日消息——霍尼韦尔公司宣布获得一份价值200万美元的合同，为Outokumpu公司，一家年收60亿欧元的不锈钢公司，在芬兰Tornio经营的一家生产工厂安装其装有一个过程、机器与驱动控制器的Experion过程知识系统。该旨在提高工厂制造效率的项目加强了霍尼韦尔服务于钢铁业的布局。

Targeted for completion in 2009, the project is aimed at boosting the efficiency of Outokumpu’s ferro chrome converter process – a key sub-process in the production of stainless steel. Experion will help automate a number of related processes including converter charging, cooling, management of exhaust gasses and blowing. Honeywell is using distributed Profibus fieldbuses in the installation of Experion, which should reduce cabling costs and enable support for the latest field devices. The contract includes basic and field planning from Honeywell, as well as configuration services.

针对2009年竣工，该项目的目标是提高Outokumpu的铬铁合金转炉过程——不锈钢生产中的一个重要次过程，的效率。Experion系统将帮助大量相关的过程实现自动化，包括转换器充电、冷却，排出气体的管理及通气。霍尼韦尔在Experion的安装中使用了分布式Profibus现场总线，减少了布线成本并实现支持最新的现场设备。该合同包括霍尼韦尔基本的和实地规划工作，以及配置服务。

“We selected Honeywell for this important project because it understands our business needs and has solutions that can enhance our company’s performance,” said Mauri Kauppi , general manager of steel melting shop and hot rolling mill, Outokumpu Stainless Oy. “We trust Honeywell to be our partner and value their comprehensive local service and support.”

“Our technology should deliver higher usability and better functionality to Outokumpu’s automation process – which ultimately should lead to a higher quality product,” said Timo Saarelainen, managing director, Honeywell Finland. “This is a significant contract for us in that it both extends our long-standing relationship with Outokumpu and also builds our credentials with customers in steel manufacturing.”

霍尼韦尔芬兰总经理Timo Saarelainen表示：“我们的技术应该为Outokumpu的自动化流程提供更高的可用性和更好的功能，最后获得更优质量的产品。这是我们一份重要的合同，它不但拓展了我们与Outokumpu公司的长期合作关系，而且也与钢铁制造行业的客户建立了信任。”
