Our solutions proactively enforce best practices, reduce time-to-market, reduce lot switchover time and increase throughput with the existing production facility and resources. For a rapid return on investment, choose the Honeywell CPG Solution that meet your most critical needs.

Control, Compliance and Cost Containment
Honeywell has been associated with manufacturing control and cost effectiveness for over 115 years, beginning with the Butz Thermo-Electric Regulator Co., founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota on April 23, 1886.

The addition of the POMS product line in 1999, with the acquisition of POMS Corporation, added the compliance strength to what was already a world-class line of manufacturing control.

Use of an appropriate selection of the products listed on the left-hand side of this screen produces a solution that increases responsiveness of manufacturing. They will insure that Regulated CPG products are made and packaged the right way, at the right time, every time, at the lowest possible cost of manufacture and regulatory compliance.

In today's tough business environment, competition among CPG manufacturers is intense. Under these conditions, manufacturers must improve process efficiency, increase plant availability, reduce maintenance costs, and better utilize physical and intellectual assets in order to achieve and sustain financial results.

With Honeywell, you can take control of processes and the environment in your regulated manufacturing facility. Our CPG solutions integrate best practices in such key areas as receiving, process control, environmental control, packaging—every cost center in the plant. These solutions enable you to link process automation systems to higher-level platforms such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and find new, unforeseen opportunities to boost performance and drive down costs.

Honeywell can also help minimize the risks associated with maintaining compliance—and the high cost of being late to market. Our automation solutions allow you to meet current and emerging regulatory requirements placed on your process, such as OSHA, FDA Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), 21CFR Part 11, and GAMP, as well as internal documentation and traceability guidelines.

Implementation of Honeywell's integrated solutions for regulated CPG manufacturing provides the agility needed to stay ahead of the competition and respond quickly to changing customer requirements. It also helps you avoid maintenance shutdowns and equipment breakdowns that reduce plant up-time.

Honeywell's Facility Management Solutions provide the information needed to make crucial decisions quickly. At the core of these solutions is our Enterprise Buildings Integrator (EBI) facility management system. This fully-integrated control platform pulls together all core building systems and integrates information from many different enterprise subsystems, from industrial manufacturing and process automation, to financial records, environmental controls and data warehouses.

Our industry-best MES solution (POMS MES for CPG) allows you to manage every step of the production process—from materials receipt to product shipment. Plus, it ensures your manufacturing operations are capable of delivering on your enterprise's e-business supply chain commitments. We also provide an electronic specification solution (e-Spec) for managing the collaborative development and deployment of product specifications. The system organizes and automates the process of planning, sourcing, producing and delivering new regulated CPG products from concept to commercial manufacturing.

By integrating best practices with quality and regulatory compliance, Honeywell CPG Solutions give you the means to minimize risk, increase throughput, streamline production costs, and eliminate unnecessary time delays during new product launch.
