“IGEL is pleased to be deepening our relationship with VMware through the validation of our industry-leading edge OS solutions for Horizon 8, along with our support for both the VMware TestDrive and TAP programs,” said Bill McCarthy, Vice President, Business Development, IGEL. “Together, we are making it easier and faster for partners and customers to interact with our combined virtual and cloud desktop delivery solutions and identify what will work best within their unique environments. For example, with VMware TestDrive, participating partners and customers can connect with IGEL UMS and demo IGEL OS in their VMware cloud workspaces infrastructure, using the most recent versions of VMware Horizon and VMware Workspace ONE.”

Through the TestDrive program, mutual VMware partners and customers can now explore VMware solutions alongside applications and services from ecosystem partners, including IGEL, modelled on typical customer use cases in a real-world environment. “Together with VMware, we are more securely extending the digital workspace by providing all the tools users need to be productive from anywhere,” continued McCarthy.

“We are pleased that IGEL has validated IGEL OS for VMware Horizon 8. This signifies to customers that IGEL OS can be deployed with the knowledge and assurance that IGEL  supports the specified versions and configurations on VMware Horizon 8,” said Pat Lee, Vice President, Strategic & Emerging Partners, VMware. “VMware values IGEL’s commitment to its partnership with VMware and is pleased to showcase IGEL’s IGEL OS on the VMware Marketplace and in the VMware TestDrive program.”

The collaboration enables customers to monitor their EHS performance, receive early warnings about issues from their Honeywell equipment, and take proactive steps to help prevent incidents and improve safety compliance.

“With companies concerned about making a safe return to their facilities, we are offering a solution that aims to provide peace of mind to management in terms of both safety and compliance to keep up with ever-changing health and environmental regulations,” said John Rudolph, president, Honeywell Process Solutions. “Our new reality requires innovative solutions that enable both business continuity and help protect the health of their employees.”

Given the heightened uncertainty of today’s business environment, companies have an urgent need for a more holistic, integrated, enterprise platform to operationalize real-time data collected from human and machine input. By leveraging this data, companies can use actionable intelligence through the integration of technologies to mitigate safety risk and remain compliant with regulations.

Scenario – How it could work in today’s environment:

• Before visiting the facility, Honeywell’s Digitized Workforce Management software provides an electronic questionnaire which, when complete, provides an access code and time of arrival to reduce the need for transfer of paper documents and improve social distancing.
• At the entryway, the connected safety software solutions allow Honeywell’s artificial intelligence-driven elevated body temperature monitoring solutions to conduct non-invasive, preliminary screenings of personnel entering a facility.
• The system also detects if individuals are wearing the required personal protective equipment needed for entering the building and if they are doing so properly, in compliance with safety regulations.
• These data points and other manual data points are then reported to the Enablon EHS software.
  Through a dashboard view, management can monitor workers to ensure that they remain compliant with rapidly changing health and safety regulations. The EHS solution also allows frontline operations employees to carry out measurements, checks and recordings directly in the field, without the need to walk back and forth to a control room.
• By combining Honeywell’s connected safety portfolio and with Enablon’s software suite, customers can eliminate errors in recorded data and improve hands-on-tool time for operators.

“Our goal is to help predict and prevent accidents and out-of-compliance events before they happen,” said Chirag Shah, senior director, Product Management at Wolters Kluwer’s Enablon business. “To do this, companies need to act on data that comes directly from equipment and assets as well as data from workers and contractors in the field. Combining real-time human and machine data in an integrated solution will enable our joint customers to achieve the benefits of a digitized operation. By joining forces with Honeywell, we are helping our customers leverage the benefits of a true Industry 4.0 solution.”

Besides monitoring the health and safety of employees, the solution can also deliver environmental benefits. Today, industries must comply with environmental permits containing hundreds of specific requirements. The technology can monitor, control and report back on the health of these controls. Honeywell’s stationary and mobile solutions can be configured directly from the local environmental and regulatory permit conditions within local jurisdictions, providing early warning alerts to prevent non-compliance.
