Honeywell has announced enhanced capabilities for its Safety Suite 2.0 software platform, offering broader visibility into portable gas detection device fleets for safety leaders in refineries, chemical plants, utilities and first responder operations.

With additional historical data, enhanced dashboards and forecasting capabilities, the unified software ecosystem enables operators to better protect workers in real time, track and forecast compliance metrics and manage device inventory effectively.

“Safety Suite empowers leaders to detect potential hazards early, prioritise corrective actions and continuously improve safety performance to protect workers on the job,” said Armando Pazos, President, Honeywell Industrial Measurement and Control. “When operations teams can connect insights from historical trends and real-time metrics, organisations can shift from reactive responses to a proactive, safety-first approach. This helps to reduce risk, enable faster, more informed decision-making and strengthen a culture where worker safety is embedded in every process, asset and outcome.”

Connected safety capabilities are critical not only to safeguard people but also to detect incidents early and help avoid costly infrastructure damage. For instance, responding to gas leaks can cost fire departments more than $500 million in a single year.

With Safety Suite 2.0, safety managers can view past trends to help identify risk patterns and review historical alarm events from a centralised location. This supports post-incident investigations and informs safety training.

The software platform also helps support coverage for all workers and improves efficiency through connected insights and enhanced capabilities, including:

Customisable dashboards that consolidate exposure data, compliance status and fleet health into clear visual summaries, making outcome measurement and audits quicker and easier.

Real-time alerts pushed to employees, notifying them of critical events or upcoming needs to bump test devices, helping keep operations running smoothly and avoid costly downtime.

Real-time readings from workers’ gas detectors, providing quick visibility into safety conditions across facilities or locations.

Guided and automated workflows for onboarding, assigning, calibrating and returning devices to inventory, saving time and improving tracking of portable technologies assigned to a team, an individual or several people across different shifts.
