Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS) is a division of Honeywell International. At our North Vancouver facility we have a R&D team which focusses on optimizing industrial processes. Largely, this entails developing sensors to measure various properties of flat sheets as they are being manufactured. Currently most of our focus is on Lithium-ion Battery production; but paper production is also still very significant for us. In addition to sensors, we also engineer scanners to enable representative measurements of full width sheets, control software to enable process control, and actuators to act on the control signals. The actuators are manufactured at our facilities in North Vancouver. ACCESSIBILITY: If attendees have accessibility requirements please discuss with organizers. The optional facility tour will require safety glasses, hearing protection, and likely safety shoes. Please bring your own if you have them; otherwise these will be supplied. Co-sponsored by: Honeywell Process Solutions Agenda: 2:00 – 2:15 pm Welcome to Honeywell, brief overview, and safety moment Introduction to KPU Physics for Modern Technology: Fergal Callaghan Introduction to IEEE Sensors Chapter: Behraad Bahreyni 2:15 – 3:30 pm Sensing and Control for Sheet Manufacturing. · Diverse flat sheet industries which is our customer base · Very wide range of sensors we make to enable efficient manufacturing. This ranges from nuclear sensors, through x-ray, microwave and optical sensors. · Briefly describe how we start with sensor physics but need to make sensors and then also need scanners, data processing, and control systems to enable manufacturers to use our sensors. Look at some examples in depth, describing the physical principles and sensor engineering. · Spectroscopy and Interferometry for plastic film and sheet measurement · Radar for liquid level measurement · Eddy current sensors for metal foil production 3:30 – 4:00 Tour of manufacturing facilities. Honeywell has a flexible machine shop capable of producing sensor, scanner, and actuator parts in low or medium quantities and assembling both complex sensors and >10 m wide actuator beams in house. A tour will demonstrate this capability and give attendees an idea of how real-world manufacturing facilities operate. 4:00 – 5:00 Tour of research and development labs. See where and how we develop our sensors and scanners. Special emphasis on sensors for sub-micron thickness measurement and x-ray weight sensors for lithium-ion battery electrode production. 500 Brooksbank Avenue, North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
