In October 2007 two top electronics technicians at IDtek successfully completed Honeywell EBI training. As result IDtek is now a certified Honeywell EBI solution provider.
Honeywell EBI allows building operators to access, coordinate, monitor and control facilities and equipment from a single point of control. This integration enables the Life Safety System to work in conjunction with other building subsystems and technologies, such as employee access, security, HVAC and smoke control systems as well as energy and equipment health and process monitoring.
Honeywell is a leading supplier of building solutions in facilities around the world including Dubai International (United Arab Emirates) and Sydney (Australia) Airport. (Honeywell is a $23 billion diversified technology company. Honeywell Building Solutions provides product and service solutions that improve efficiency and profitability, support regulatory compliance, and maintain safe, comfortable environments.

A few examples of the types of sensors that can operate on the same Honeywell EBI platform as the electronic security measures are as follows:
|
Features
|
Detector Type
|
Typical Applications
|
EHM-D-COOL |
Temperature Loss Detector
|
Heating systems, hot water supplies, oil coolers, air conditioning outlets, exhaust venting systems, chimneys.
|
EHM-D-FLOW |
Fluid Flow Detector
|
Heating systems, process pipes, feeder pipes, vessels, valves.
|
EHM-D-HEAT |
Temperature Rise Detector
|
Gear box, temperature control failure, electrical switchgear, perishable goods storage, equipment under test.
|
EHM-D-HISS |
Fluid Leak Detector
|
Process equipment, compressed/air systems, steam leaks.
|
EHM-D-KNOCK |
Mechanical Noise Detector
|
Water hammer, cavitations in pumps, lubrication failure, machine resonance shift, worn brake pads/shoes.
|
EHM-D-RUMBLE |
Mechanical Wear Detector
|
Conveyor systems, marine power generation, mining/quarrying, rolling mills, paper production.
|
EHM-D-SNAP |
Mechanical Insertion Detector
|
Automotive harness assembly, snap fit assembly (plastic hose, fittings, retaining rings, connectors, etc.).
|
EHM-D-SONIC |
Audible Noise Detector
|
Any audible "listening" application.
|
EHM-D-TILT |
Slope Change Detector
|
Bridges, temporary structures, ships, cranes, fork lift trucks, land moving equipment, quarrying equipment.
|
EHM-D-VIBRATION |
Vibration Detector
|
Cranes, conveyors, wind turbines, turbines, compressors.
|
The result is that a process interruption can be treated in the same manner as a breach of security with SMS’s, emails and alarm conditions being distributed on an enterprise wide basis to maintenance / technical / operational / facilities and security managers.
Why pay to run two separate platforms when you can run both electronic security and process /equipment health monitoring on the same windows based solution?
