Mountain Systems Joins Honeywell Hi-Spec Solutions' Team Uniformance for Application Program
GREEN BAY, Wis. - Honeywell Hi-Spec Solutions and Mountain Systems Inc. announced that Mountain Systems has become a member of Honeywell Hi-Spec Solutions' Team Uniformance(R) for Application program, providing increased value for customers of the Uniformance Database System and Mountain Systems' Proficy for Manufacturing(R) software.Process industry customers will be able to integrate historical data with product quality and production cost data, such as paper industry jumbo reel production. This combination of Honeywell Uniformance software and Mountain Systems' Proficy for Manufacturing software allows manufacturers to apply business and historical context to real time manufacturing information for improved operational performance.
"Proficy for Manufacturing perfectly complements Honeywell's Uniformance software. By partnering with Honeywell Hi-Spec Solutions, Mountain Systems continues to provide real insight in real time to our expanding base of manufacturing industry leaders," said John Kelm, president of MSI.
Ginny Burnell, vice president of Honeywell Hi-Spec Solutions, said, "Our Team Uniformance for Applications partners, together with the extensive suite of Hi-Spec Solutions applications, give us very strong and broad capabilities to deliver business optimization to our customers. We are pleased that Mountain Systems' Proficy for Manufacturing software is a part of the program. By integrating Uniformance and Proficy, customers will improve decision making related to product quality and cost aspects of manufacturing. At the same time, they can have this important benefit without additional integration expense or ongoing maintenance requirements."
Team Uniformance is a Honeywell program where application providers work with Hi-Spec Solutions to verify that application communication with the Uniformance Database System conforms to the Uniformance communication standards and ensures that the application integration with Uniformance is retained, even as new releases of Uniformance and the application are made.
The Team Uniformance partner program promotes more effective leverage of existing plant and production information by the widest range of software applications, but without the risk or unnecessary costs normally associated with software integration. The Team Uniformance program removes barriers to the implementation of commercial software applications with Uniformance. This reduces cost and increases value of both the Uniformance system and members' application software packages.
