Honeywell announced the Honeywell Intelligrated Momentum Core software platform and the IntelliSort Irregulars Sorter, both designed to help companies increase operational visibility and agility and reduce potential downtime costs.
“Adaptability and reliability are equally important mandates in today’s warehouses,” says Chad Briggs, president, Honeywell Intelligrated. “Companies need technology that not only pivots quickly with ever-changing customer demand, but also evolves at the pace of individual businesses. Momentum Core allows supply chain customers to start with what they need today without worrying there will be a heavy lift each time they need to make a change in the future.”
Key takeaways:
· Honeywell Intelligrated Momentum Core software combines software and machine control capabilities into a single modular, easy-to-configure platform, enabling distribution centers to adapt automation to both fit their current needs and to seamlessly scale as they grow.
· The Honeywell Intelligrated IntelliSort Irregulars Sorter automates handling of oversized, labor-intensive parcels, helping logistics and e-commerce operations achieve more streamlined processes with more predictable performance.
· With Momentum Core, customers can make changes to their software seamlessly without replatforming or custom engineering when workflows need to be reconfigured or reporting needs to be modified. The system is built on a standardized code base with an end-user accessible configuration layer. The software foundation unifies warehouse execution software, warehouse control systems and machine control with operational visibility to offer a single view for monitoring, control, configuration and reporting across operations. Momentum Core also builds off of the Ignition platform from Inductive Automation to provide supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) in a coherent system that is easy to operate, support and evolve.
· Irregulars Sorter helps companies achieve more reliable performance through automation. Engineered to handle a wide range of size, weight and shape variability, the system can process 3,000-5,000 irregular parcels per hour. Its modular design enables seamless drop‑in and integration with a business’s existing sortation infrastructure, helping to improve efficiency, reduce potential downtime and lower maintenance costs.
