As part of its efforts to expand global presence and accelerate growth in key regions, Honeywell has named Norm Gilsdorf President, High Growth Regions for Russia, Central Asia, and the Middle East, reporting to Honeywell President for High Growth Regions Shane Tedjarati. In his new role, Norm will be responsible for strategic planning, prioritizing business investment, and establishing the appropriate operational structure and processes to ensure Honeywell capitalizes on these tremendous market opportunities. Norm had been serving as President, Honeywell Process Solutions. This new role builds upon his successes in growing our business in critical new markets, building strategic relationships, and driving a One Honeywell approach to create a powerful customer value proposition.
Darius Adamczyk will succeed Norm as President, Honeywell Process Solutions. Previously, Darius was President, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. John Waldron, Vice President and General Manager Americas, and Vice President Worldwide Marketing & Strategy for Honeywell Scanning & Mobility, was named President, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility.

For years it’s been described as one of most critical safety technologies needed in the fire department. Thanks to Honeywell and the Department of Homeland Security, a new firefighter tracking system is on its way to the fire service.
GLANSER – Geo-spatial Location, Accountability and Navigation System for Emergency Responders – is capable of tracking firefighters in a multi-story building within one to three meter’s accuracy, showing an incident commander what floor a firefighter is on, what area of the floor the firefighter is working in, and whether the firefighter needs help. The system will be able to track up to 500 firefighters in a building of at least 50 stories for extended periods of time without a built-in infrastructure.
“Unlike other systems, GLANSER doesn’t have to rely on GPS to re-establish the location of a firefighter,” said Honeywell First Responder Products Vice-president of Marketing Tony Wyman. “In an environment like an open field, GPS connectivity is a viable solution to the problem of finding and tracking a lost firefighter, but in a structure where GPS may be unable to penetrate, it might be worthless. What firefighters and incident commanders need, is a robust, scalable and affordable system that can operate reliably in a GPS-denied environment. That is what GLANSER can do.”
Honeywell plans to test the system with two major fire departments this summer and perform extensive field testing in the second half of 2013.

Honeywell announced that the company’s smart grid project with Custom Building Products won the “Energy Project of the Year” award from the Southern California Chapter of the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE). The Honeywell project provides Custom Building Products with precise control over how its Bell, Calif., manufacturing facility uses energy, enabling it to automatically respond to changing peak electricity prices and trim utility bills.
The award recognizes the project for its high level of substantiated savings, which will enable the work to pay for itself within an estimated five months. Custom Building Products, a manufacturer of supplies for the construction industry, offset the $80,000 total project cost with rebates from Southern California Edison (SCE) and support from a Smart Grid Investment Grant Honeywell received from the Department of Energy in late 2009. Those funds lowered the out-of-pocket expenses to less than $3,000. And Custom Building Products expects to realize $6,000 in annual energy savings due to the upgrades and the resulting enhanced control.
For the project, Custom Building Products enrolled its 142,000-square-foot building in an automated demand response program, managed by Honeywell, to control how facility equipment responds to SCE’s dynamic pricing structure. The structure bases electricity rates for commercial and industrial customers on consumption levels and generation costs, meaning prices rise significantly during periods of peak demand.

Honeywell HomMed’s Genesis Touch™ is an FDA-cleared portable device designed to help patients better manage their healthcare at home via a user-friendly interface, while offering care providers innovative features, such as video conferencing, to improve patient interaction. Unveiled in the United States in February, Genesis Touch was recently launched in the United Kingdom.
As with all Genesis telehealth monitors, the Genesis Touch collects vital signs and responses to symptom-specific questions from patients and transmits the data to Honeywell’s LifeStream™ Management Suite. This enables healthcare providers to efficiently and accurately track and monitor patient’s health readings, wherever they are – at home, on vacation, or visiting family members and friends.
“This device is a major step in the progression of remote patient care,” said Terry Duesterhoeft, president of Honeywell HomMed. “ The Genesis Touch offers enhanced mobility so users can manage their healthcare wherever they are and thanks to tamper-proof interfaces, it provides a smooth, safe and secure experience for the user. With the tablet based on an open development platform, it also allows third-parties to continue to expand the application and service offering.”
Patients now have the choice between using traditional Genesis monitors or the new touch-screen tablet, depending on their specific needs and circumstances. All Genesis monitors, including the new Genesis Touch, seamlessly feed into Honeywell HomMed’s LifeStream software. This enables clinicians to work from the same software and no matter what Genesis device their patients are using, the most up-to-date information will always be to hand.

Honeywell Chairman and CEO Dave Cote was interviewed on CNBC’s Mad Money with host Jim Cramer to discuss the company’s strong first quarter 2012 financial results, highlighting a 7% increase in sales and an 18% increase in earnings per share versus the same quarter last year.
Also, as part of CNBC’s and Mad Money’s Earth Week theme, Cote showcased some of Honeywell’s energy efficient solutions, including: a Honeywell turbocharger that can get 40 miles to a gallon of gas; Honeywell Green Jet Fuel made from inedible feedstocks that is powering military and commercial biofuel flights; Honeywell Total Connect system, which provides simple, integrated access to all of a user’s systems at home, helping to manage and reduce energy use; Honeywell’s Prestige thermostat, which helps homeowners save 33% on their home energy bill; and Honeywell’s 3D Weather Radar technology, which provides pilots improved safety and reduces flight delays to save fuel.
“It’s got to be a good product, and got to accomplish a good end,” Cote said, referring to Honeywell’s approach to energy efficient technology. “It’s got to be easy to use, and it has to make sense because if it doesn’t make economic sense, it’s not going to last.”
