Honeywell announced the launch of enhanced capabilities for its Safety Suite 2.0 software platform, providing broader visibility into portable gas detection device fleets for safety leaders in refineries, chemical plants, utilities and first responder operations. By adding more historical data, enhanced dashboards and forecasting capabilities, the unified software ecosystem now enables operators to better protect workers in real time, track and forecast compliance metrics and effectively manage device inventory.
“Safety Suite empowers leaders to detect potential hazards early, prioritize corrective actions and continuously improve safety performance to protect workers on the job,” said Armando Pazos, president, Honeywell Industrial Measurement and Control. “When operations teams can connect insights from historical trends and real-time metrics, organizations can shift from reactive responses to a proactive, safety-first approach. This helps to reduce risk, enable faster, more informed decision-making and strengthen a culture where worker safety is embedded in every process, asset and outcome.”
Connected safety capabilities are not only essential to safeguard people but also to catch incidents early to help avoid costly damage to infrastructure. For instance, responding to gas leaks can cost fire departments more than $500 million in a single year.1
With Safety Suite 2.0, safety managers can see past trends to help identify risk patterns and review historical alarm events from a centralized location, supporting post-incident investigations and informing safety training. The software platform helps support coverage for all workers and provides efficiencies and connected insights through other enhanced capabilities, including:
- Customizable dashboards consolidate exposure data, compliance status and fleet health into clear visual summaries, making outcome measurement and audits quicker and easier.
- Real-time alerts pushed to employees notify them of critical events or upcoming needs to bump test devices, keeping operations running smoothly and helping avoid costly downtime.
- Real-time readings displayed from workers’ gas detectors provide quick visibility into safety conditions at all facilities or locations.
- Guided and automated workflows for onboarding, assigning, calibrating and returning devices back into inventory save time and improve tracking of portable technologies when assigned to a team, an individual or several people across different shifts.
