Honeywell launches total care field services
June 2016
Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
Honeywell Process Solutions has developed a new flexible framework of field instrumentation services to help its customers improve safety, equipment reliability and system performance for the lifetime of their sites.
Total Care Services offers a global, common and simple framework that helps customers transition from reactive maintenance to a more effective and profitable solution, avoiding surprises and unexpected expenditures.
“We understand the importance of aligning service strategies with business strategies. With a Honeywell Total Care Services agreement, we can help our customers achieve their long-term objectives. This holistic view of asset investment support is a lifecycle approach that can be tailored to meet specific needs,” said Louis Oquendo, HPS services marketing leader. “Manufacturers can get increased value by outsourcing maintenance to a vendor that is able to deliver efficiency and cost control, allowing operators to focus on core activities that are critical to success in today’s challenging business environment.”
Total Care Services addresses the challenges many managers are facing today, including hiring freezes, cuts in training budgets, ageing maintenance workforces and hard-to-find skilled labour pools. Maintenance outsourcing can provide relief from these challenges and improve the customer’s bottom line by driving their plant maintenance function. Total Care Services is a maintenance programme that turns daily routine maintenance activities into a profit by utilising Honeywell’s wealth of knowledge and in-house expertise.
Honeywell’s Total Care Services offers an enhanced preventive maintenance approach for all equipment. Every instrument undergoes a visual check and basic preventive maintenance, reducing unplanned interventions and delivering greater cost savings.
HPS will offer Total Care Services globally, enabling one-stop support for all Honeywell equipment.
