Honeywell , a specialist in smart building technology and services, has launched the next generation of Enterprise Building Integration (EBI), Command and Control Suite (CCS), and Digital Video Manager (DVM), a suite of solutions enabled by the Honeywell Forge for Buildings platform.
Along with EBI, CCS and DVM Honeywell is also launching a portfolio of enhanced cybersecurity solutions to help companies protect against the rising risk of unexpected attacks on data, network systems and buildings infrastructure.
“For buildings to be smarter, more efficient and effective, an operating system must be in place that works to constantly improve resource management,” said?Mark Verheyden, president, Honeywell Building Solutions. “These systems help keep people safe and secure, enhance the building experience, and protect the data and processes that drive operations.”
The company highlighted that these technologies leverage IoT connectivity, interoperable systems and data sharing, and adaptive workflows to help transform inputs and information into actionable outcomes.
Key enhancements?include:
-EBI R600?? The Honeywell building management system that integrates with numerous third-party systems and equipment as well as cloud and mobile applications. With more than 23 years of market implementation, EBI has more than 150 million IoT connections in buildings worldwide.
-DVM R700?? A digital surveillance system that delivers a detailed view of operations and enterprise-wide integrated protection. Improved camera servers enhance views and reduce storage needs and hardware costs.
-CCS R300?? Facility visualization application with intuitive interface that brings performance data to building personnel through enhanced map navigation and editing capabilities.
The company also said that EBI600, DVM700 and CCS300 integrate with?Honeywell Forge?for Buildings, which is an integrated platform that connects operational data from assets, processes, third-party applications and people with machine learning to help customers improve their building performance.
“Commercial building and critical infrastructure customers are often driving toward similar facility outcomes: streamlined operations, reduced costs, improved safety and security,” Verheyden said. “Efforts to reach these goals are markedly different for a hospital or an airport, for example. Within our enhanced integrated platform of offerings, operations teams can tailor services to help meet specific needs through new multi-windows and interactive options that are just a fingertip away.”
Honeywell is also extending its cybersecurity services and products for the buildings OT environment to enable customers to better protect their assets and people. The Honeywell Forge Cybersecurity solutions include:
Cybersecurity Assessment?? A professional review of buildings OT systems using industry best practices to identify potential vulnerabilities or gaps. A detailed report is developed to establish a cyber-status baseline and a prioritized action list.
-Secure Design and Configuration?? Design or modify existing OT infrastructure to enhance the physical, network and application layers and help reduce risk and mitigate unexpected costs.
-Cybersecurity Appliances and Software?? The installation and maintenance of cybersecurity hardware and software including firewalls, Secure Media Exchange (SMX), advanced end-point security, and backup/restore appliances, to help monitor and protect OT systems,
-Cybersecurity Monitoring and Remote Management?? Enables monitoring of OT systems and push alerts regarding performance or security issues. This can be extended to include Remote Management services, as well as Honeywell’s 24/7 Security Operation Centre (SoC) monitoring.
-Incident Readiness and Advisory?? Establishes incident response processes that enable more efficient containment, triage and resolution to regain normal business operations in the event of an incident.
