On June 12, Danfoss Transmission and Honeywell signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to work together to create open integration solutions for the industry, addressing issues such as data integration and interoperability across automation platforms.

1756-L72EROMS Automation solutions have traditionally been used to improve efficiency, precision, safety, and quality in industries as diverse as manufacturing, processing, energy and utilities, automotive, and agriculture.

Through their collaboration, Danfoss Drives and Honeywell aim to work together to overcome the limitations of traditional automation solutions. Traditional automation solutions often force operators to choose between highly integrated closed architectures that lack flexibility and open architectures that offer flexibility but have limited data integration and interoperability.

Mika Kulju, President of Danfoss Drives, said: “At Danfoss, we firmly believe that the most innovative solutions come from working directly with our customers and partners. Through this collaboration, we will improve data integration and the well-known inflexibility of automation platforms. The potential to drive growth and deliver higher value to our customers is enormous, so we are firmly confident that this partnership will be a success.”

The collaboration between Danfoss Drives and Honeywell aims to address data integration and interoperability between automation platforms by providing open integration solutions for the industry. This will enable both companies to deliver benefits to customers, including reduced uptime (TTO), reduced engineering time and costs, predictive maintenance, and improved information availability for operators.

1756-L72EROMS The joint efforts will benefit a number of industries, including battery manufacturing, specialty chemicals, mining, metals and minerals (MMM), among others.

Pramesh Maheshwari, president of Honeywell Process Solutions, said: “This partnership marks a transformative step in our automation efforts, ensuring that process operators can do their jobs with the most accurate data available. Together with Danfoss, Honeywell will help our customers increase efficiency and flexibility through automation solutions. “
