为了继续作为工业创新的领导者,提供更好的产品,更快地为客户提供更好的产品,霍尼韦尔正在在全球组织的各个方面投资数字转型 - 包括在内部和通过战略伙伴关系。

乔恩霍夫,副总裁,先进的制造业和自动化副总裁,为霍尼韦尔航空航天提供了这种转变努力,通过新技术提高组织的绩效和客户满意度。

“Automation and digitization are the keys for competitiveness in the future,” said Hobgood. “There’s no doubt that our customers have this mindset of expecting our products much more rapidly, and as a business, we want to meet those needs in the market.”

“我们的客户有这种思维方式,期待我们的产品更快,并作为一家企业,我们希望在市场上满足这些需求。”

The Challenge: Navigating a Complex, Global Supply Chain

Given the scale of their product portfolio, expansive supply chain, and global customer base, manufacturing lead times can be a barrier that prevents Honeywell engineers from delivering new innovations at the pace customers demand.

“我们面临的一些挑战是我们供应链的长度,”霍布伍德说。“在某些情况下,它可能需要六个月到两年来源部分。移动得更快,让客户零件更快地为我们的业务提供了大量的事情。“

与FICTIV合作帮助加速发展

霍尼韦尔和虚构之间的伙伴关系有助于解决这一非常挑战。霍尼韦尔航空航天的制造工程团队进入FICTIV的数字制造生态系统,以便在几分钟而不是几周而不是几个月的时间,而不是几个月的部分,其目标是减少50%的循环时间。

“It’s very exciting when we can find a partner like Fictiv,” said Hobgood. “They do an incredible job connecting my needs as a customer to those suppliers that have the capability, the right competitive cost, and the capacity to build my product and get it to me in a very rapid cycle time.”

“他们做了一个令人难以置信的工作,将我的需求作为客户联系到具有能力,正确的竞争成本和建立产品的能力,并在非常快速的周期时间内将其带到我身上的供应商。”

为RE100 APU实现7倍的转速时间

在最近的计划中,霍尼韦尔航空航天的制造工程团队能够实现7倍的交货时间,以便在临界部件RE100辅助电源单元(APU)与虚构。

传统上,APU中对该组件的修订需要一个完整的重新施放,其中部分的生产延期时间为22周。

相反,霍尼韦尔使用FICTIV Enterprise在短短3周内快速上数量的CNC机器组件:

  1. 优化可制造性– Honeywell worked with Fictiv’s design for manufacturability (DfM) team to optimize the model for CNC machining—a much faster process than the traditional casting method.
  2. 在几分钟内报价 - 订购– Honeywell’s engineers used the Fictiv quote-to-order platform to upload and order the revised component in just minutes, instead of waiting days or weeks for a quote.
  3. Rapid Delivery– Fictiv then securely matched the order with one of the highly vetted CNC machine shops in its global network for rapid production.

Honeywell was able to quickly install the improved component into an APU in their test chamber to validate the new design, providing a significant improvement for Honeywell customers in a fraction of the time.

解锁工业创新的未来

霍尼韦尔创新的精神围绕一个关键目标的所有中心:为他们的客户实现更好的结果。

“如果我们不迅速发展我们的产品,我们将错过市场机会,”霍普ood说。“霍尼韦尔的客户希望来自美国的凉爽产品,满足他们的需求,即按时交付,这符合他们的客户在现场期望的质量和可靠性。”

The partnership between Honeywell and Fictiv helps to enable this rapid development while maintaining the highest standards of quality, reliability, and security.

And with more innovations coming to market faster, Honeywell demonstrates that digital transformation in manufacturing is not just a vision for the future, but a very present reality.
