Honeywell to work with ALMA Software.

Honeywell Automation and Control Systems, Phoenix, Arizona, USA, recently signed a global cooperation contract with Alma Software, Kokkola, Finland. The Industry Solutions business of Honeywell will act as reseller for ALMA Software's Production Line Information Management system called ALMA. This contract allows Honeywell to expand its Process Knowledge Services[TM] to cover field and electrification planning and production line life cycle management. The ALMA system focuses on managing technical production line data and is applied during the planning process to create a database of the automation and electrification functions and hardware. After commissioning, the mill can use the system and its information during the entire production line life cycle. ALMA's information handling and standard solutions improve engineering efficiency and reliability and help designers focus on problem solving rather than routines. ALMA can also be used to gather process information, enhancing the process knowledge of mill personnel and assisting in production loss avoidance.
