Honeywell Tests New Technologies for MRO

Honeywell started piloting this screen at its Phoenix repair facility six months ago to declutter data and better visualize it, as well as to highlight value streaming. The company has made more than 20 revisions to it so far during the pilot.

Honeywell is testing this Ingersoll Rand QX cordless torque screwdriver at its Phoenix repair facility. So far, it is saving technicians 1-2 hr. in dealing with the 500 nuts and bolts per engine teardown. If the system proves out, Honeywell will record the torque values wirelessly and incorporate those values into the maintenance record, which is another benefit. 

Honeywell is testing this blue-light scanning technology to precisely measure components before or after repairs.  

Honeywell's blue-light surface scanning system measures very tight dimensions. The inspection technology provides the true geometry of a part quickly.

The blue-light surface-scanning system stores all of the images, each of which contain 3D information for that particular view.

About 35 engineers support product lines at Honeywell's Phoenix repair facility—they are looking for ways to decrease turnaround times, cut material costs and improve efficiencies.
