MONTREAL, Feb. 11, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin (TSX:
SNC) today announced that is has signed an agreement with Honeywell
Process Solutions to jointly offer an operator training solution to
improve plant safety and efficiency.
Under the agreement, SNC-Lavalin Global Training and Simulation
(GTS), a division of SNC-Lavalin Inc., integrates its immersive
training simulator, FieldOp3D, to Honeywell's UniSim® Operations
training simulation platform to extend simulator training to
the field operator. FieldOp3D allows trainees to safely practice
essential tasks in a 3D environment. Standard and emergency
procedures can also be validated and optimized. The integrated
solution was demonstrated at the Honeywell User's Group last June,
and is currently displayed at the newly opened Honeywell's Customer
Experience Center in Houston.
"Our agreement with Honeywell brings together best-in-class
products and services with significant global reach spanning many
industries," said Hisham Mahmoud, President,
Infrastructure, SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. "We are already seeing
the first signs of success, having deployed five
operator training simulators to a major client in
the phosphate fertilizer industry in North Africa,
and having sold our first integrated FieldOp3D-UniSim solution in
North America."
"The agreement with SNC-Lavalin allows us to expand and improve
our simulation offering beyond the control room into the field by
adding a three-dimensional immersive training environment," said
John Roffel, Honeywell Process
Solutions' UniSim product director. "The new offering provides a
safe learning environment where trainees can navigate a replica of
their plant, giving field operators the opportunity to practice
tasks essential to their job."
