Compare Honeywell Safety Manager vs. SAVE

The Safety Manager is a system certified to SIL 3 standards, designed to lower incident rates, enhance production availability, cut compliance expenses, and oversee plant safety effectively. As a next-generation safety platform, it builds upon the Quadruple Modular Redundant (QMR) framework established by its predecessor, the FSC, while further improving its capabilities in incident reduction, uptime maximization, cost efficiency, and safety management. With a rack-based setup and the incorporation of remote IO capabilities, Safety Manager introduces Universal IO, enabling clients to strategically distribute their safety control systems throughout their facilities, leading to significant savings in wiring and conduit costs. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates process safety information, application functionalities, system diagnostics, and essential control strategies, executing safety application logic defined by SIL requirements within a fully redundant (2oo4D) architecture. Furthermore, the Safety Builder tool enhances the management of safety-critical databases and application programming across the entire plant, ensuring comprehensive oversight and control. This holistic approach not only promotes a safer working environment but also optimizes operational efficiency for users.

In partnership with OMV, Austria's national oil and gas entity, SAVE offers a virtual simulation of a refinery setting designed for training purposes. This innovative program allows refinery trainees to learn the correct and safe operation of equipment before they are granted access to real-world refinery operations. Using a VR headset, participants can immerse themselves in the environment, navigating and manipulating advanced machinery, climbing ladders, and monitoring gauges. An experienced trainer oversees their development, providing direction, feedback, and addressing any errors during the training process. The time required for trainees to independently handle significant machinery and operations can be shortened by as much as a year. Additionally, trainees can practice repeatedly at their own pace until they meet the necessary competency levels, all while ensuring the safety of the plant. This method of training plays a crucial role in maintaining safety standards for all new hires who are unfamiliar with working in such facilities. Ultimately, SAVE not only enhances learning but also fosters a culture of safety and preparedness in the oil and gas industry.
