Honeywell has signed an agreement to standardize its automation project engineering on SmartPlant Instrumentation, an instrumentation engineering solution powered by INtools from Intergraph Process, Power & Marine .

Honeywell and Intergraph intend this agreement to be the next step in an on-going collaboration to integrate SmartPlant Enterprise with Honeywell’s Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS).

Experion PKS is designed to integrate process and business data across the enterprise, making information and knowledge available when and where needed. The Experion platform lays the foundation for integrating process control and safety management–including non-Honeywell systems–under a unified architecture.

SmartPlant Instrumentation is part of the Intergraph SmartPlant Enterprise, said to be a comprehensive plant lifecycle software for the integrated engineering environment. SmartPlant Instrumentation reportedly increases design and maintenance productivity and integrates with upstream and downstream tasks, providing one point for entering and revising data.
