A title
After decades of development, China has gradually optimized the industrial structure of process industry and made breakthroughs in key technologies. It has developed into the largest process industry manufacturing country in the world. However, there is still a gap between its overall efficiency and the international advanced level. It has become the consensus of the whole industry to use digital technology to accelerate the industrial upgrading and transformation of process industry to achieve high efficiency, green and intelligent. However, the continuous and continuous production characteristics of process industry, as well as the strong coupling relationship between the production process and the production process, make the process industry often need to "think" more when promoting new technology.
It is particularly important to learn from successful experience and reduce blind attempts in the transformation and upgrading of process industry. As an important player in the process industry, Honeywell has been involved in chemicals and dyes since World War I, then expanded into oil and gas, and became an important supplier of chemical raw materials to the Allies during World War II...... Honeywell's long history of manufacturing and service in the process sector has provided us with a wealth of hands-on experience, and Honeywell has long been focused on the integration of experience and technological innovation, and has developed a number of unique industry solutions. These solutions cut across processes, assets, and people, solving enterprise-wide problems with a value proposition focused on results and bottom line impact. Over the years, these solutions have not only improved the efficiency of Honeywell's process sector, but also, through sharing, benefited many process companies around the world. Today, Honeywell UOP is used in 60 percent of the world's gasoline, 40 percent of LNG, 70 percent of polyester, and 90 percent of biodegradable detergents. "Honeywell has a unique core competence in the process industry, and we are an industry leader in the application of digital technologies," said Chen Yan, vice president and general manager of Honeywell Process Control Greater China.

At the lean level, there are Honeywell Excellence Systems (HES) and other solutions that combine Honeywell's decades of Lean Six Sigma and HOS management experience.
, "said Mr Chen Yan digitalization upgrade is the real purpose of solutions to customers in the process of business operation of the actual problems, but to resolve these problems not only depend on a particular technology or a report of the data, but need to further understand the process and core operations, especially in the fields such as petroleum, chemical, natural gas, is definitely not all will be the simple sum of all kinds of new technology. And this is our advantage, in, we always emphasize not only to use digital technology, more want to combine our core knowledge in control, optimization, and our long-term accumulation in the aspect of technology, production, through seamless integration process, the comprehensive solution of assets and personnel, for the entire enterprise to provide the highest level of security, reliability, efficiency and profitability."
Old saying "English", honeywell process areas of more than 100 years and more than 40 years process automation control knowledge and the accumulation of experience, not only for its own, bring a lot of innovation and change for the process industry, at the same time, honeywell also constantly introducing innovative technologies and solutions to the different areas of discrete industries, such as: automobile manufacturing, glass, textile, welding machine, etc. "Honeywell has always excel in big data analysis, machine self-learning and other advanced digital solutions for large and important machines."
