Honeywell Command and Control Suite

Honeywell has released its Command and Control Suite, which is designed to provide a user-friendly way to manage complex data for effective facility and security management. The system combines intelligent automation, advanced analytics and visualisation with a simplified user experience.

A holistic view of a connected building’s video feeds, access control and fire alarms, for example, can be provided together with relevant information from human resource applications. Integrating data from these disparate systems could help security personnel track occupants and make sure they exit the facility in the event of an evacuation, improving employee safety.

The Honeywell Command Wall is the core of the suite and features map-based visualisation and navigation, along with integrated workflows and system-wide integration from a single, intuitive touch-screen interface. Data is presented on the wall from multiple systems across a facility, such as utility meters and temperature sensors, while providing context for more informed decision making. Using progressive disclosure, users can access an enterprise-wide view and also easily zoom into specific areas to quickly understand and react to issues and opportunities as they arise.

A supplement to the Command Wall is Incident Workflow, which guides users step by step through scripted responses to security incidents and other emergencies, helping further reduce risk and improve accuracy in mitigating issues. In addition, Enterprise Dashboards extend the suite’s real-time visualisation by presenting detailed energy data and actionable guidance to help control consumption and boost efficiency.

Command and Control Suite technologies integrate with Honeywell’s building management platform, Enterprise Buildings Integrator (EBI), which helps facilitate the integration of security, comfort, life safety and energy systems, among other functions. EBI gives users a single point of access and consistent view to information and resources that enhance the ability to monitor, manage and protect a facility, campus or multisite operation.
