On September 20 and 26, Honeywell held a high-end manufacturing online lecture series with the theme of “Green Factory, Black Technology”. As one of the important contents of Honeywell Smart Manufacturing Month, the lecture series will focus on the two core values of “safety and efficiency” and “green wisdom”, and many industry experts and partners will jointly explore how to promote the transformation and reshaping of manufacturing through technology, and explore the best feasible practices for high-quality and sustainable development of manufacturing in the new situation.
Safe operation is the cornerstone of manufacturing development. In the “Safe and Efficient Escort Factory Operations” series of keynote lectures, Honeywell is committed to exploring the opportunities and challenges of China’s manufacturing industry in the new situation. Honeywell’s more than 100 years of manufacturing management experience, combined with mature solutions such as fire protection, security, safety protection equipment and energy storage safety, ensure industrial production and operation safety, help factories create a more efficient and reliable production and operation environment, and lay a solid foundation for digital transformation.
Digitalization is the key to promoting the low-carbon transformation of manufacturing. The promotion and application of digital low-carbon solutions has become an important issue for the sustainable development of manufacturing plants. In the “Smart Low-carbon to help Sustainable Factory Development” series of keynote lectures, Honeywell will share the ideas and practices of low-carbon manufacturing development under the “dual carbon” goal, and showcase Honeywell green factory solutions, green factory integration solutions, new energy and green hydrogen solutions for buildings, supply chains, renewable energy and other fields. Help factories achieve smart transformation while focusing on building green factories.
In China, Honeywell uses its operations as a testing ground for technological innovation to digitally empower its plants for sustainable development. At present, the Suzhou plant of Honeywell Safety and Productivity Solutions Group has been selected to the Green Manufacturing Demonstration List published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China and won the title of “Green Factory” demonstration enterprise. The Zhangjiagang plant of Honeywell Characteristic Materials and Technology Group and the Xi ‘an plant of Intelligent Building Technology Group were also included in the provincial “green factory” list.
“Made in China is becoming synonymous with high quality, high efficiency and cost-effective, and digital transformation is a new engine for China’s manufacturing industry to achieve high-quality development.” We look forward to helping manufacturing enterprises to further integrate intelligent and information technology through this seminar, and to clarify the intelligent development direction and path suitable for their own products according to their own product characteristics and production modes.” Yu Feng, President of Honeywell China, said, “As a pioneer in the global industrial automation industry, Honeywell will use its rich experience and innovative technologies to empower Chinese customers and partners from end to end, jointly meet the digital transformation opportunities, and help China’s ‘smart’ manufacturing to achieve safe, efficient and low-carbon development.”
According to data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in 2022, the added value of China’s manufacturing industry accounted for nearly 30% of the global share, and the scale of the manufacturing industry has ranked first in the world for 13 consecutive years. Among them, China’s high-tech manufacturing industry accounted for 15.5% of the industrial added value above designated scale, and equipment manufacturing industry accounted for 31.8% of the industrial added value above designated scale. The high-end, intelligent and green development of the manufacturing industry has become an important starting point and the only way to promote China’s manufacturing industry to achieve high-quality development and sustainable development goals.
As the world’s leading digital industrial high-tech enterprise, Honeywell will give full play to its advantages in the field of digital upgrading and low-carbon technological innovation, empower the transformation and upgrading of relevant industries through digital transformation, continue to promote the implementation of innovative technologies and mature solutions, empower the high-quality sustainable development of smart factories, and promote the optimization and upgrading of the manufacturing structure with scientific and technological strength.
