The significant need to increase productivity, improve energy efficiency, ensure seamless operator interfaces, manage alarm overload, and automate the consolidation of operational data for business decisions
In the current competitive and continuously changing technology and business environment, constant complex demands are being placed on the automation systems. The clients today are seeking an optimum solution that allows them to manage their global operations in real-time while decreasing their capital and lifecycle costs.
In the oil and gas industry's processes, there is always a high demand for safety and reliability. The supply chain of the industry has created a significant demand for automation, industry expertise, and an extensive partner network. The complete automation solutions primarily help the oil and gas producers to integrate information, and also control and provide safety solutions, in order to respond to the dynamic global demand.
For instance, in Nov 2019, Honeywell announced that the Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries Company selected the Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS) to be the main automation contractor for their new Petrochemicals and Refinery Integration Al Zour Project (PRIZe). Honeywell will provide the KIPIC with front-end engineering design and advanced process control technology, which will help the KIPIC in expediting production start-up while assisting with reaching production targets faster and more efficiently.
Furthermore, the recent outbreak of coronavirus has enabled automation to play a vital role across the production. Amid situation where industries are operating with limited workforce owing to layoffs, and job losses, the deployment of automation is enabling businesses to sustain their production levels with minimum risk and exposure of workers to COVID-19 pandemic.
Key Market Trends
Upstream Segment to Witness Significant Growth
