Our most popular general-use scanners, mobile computers and printers are now available with disinfectant-ready housings supporting more frequent cleaning to help limit the spread of germs and bacteria in the workplace. These unique housings can be cleaned with common cleaning products and won’t affect the strength and performance of the device. Harsh cleaning solutions can degrade standard plastic housings, causing vital workplace assets to become discolored and parts to become brittle and break..

The retail landscape has changed dramatically during the global health crisis. Retailers deemed as essential businesses have reduced their hours to accommodate additional cleaning protocols, while non-essential retailers have had to close their brick and mortar locations temporarily. As restrictions on businesses begin to lift, the in-store experience for associates and shoppers will need to evolve. According to Barbara Kahn of The Wharton School, "In-person shopping is increasingly about building loyalty through experience. And experience includes feeling safe." Retailers are already evaluating and implementing technology solutions designed to address social distancing and new cleaning procedures mandated by the World Health Organization (WHO) and U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Honeywell understands the challenges retailers are facing and has developed solutions to help customers during the current health crisis.
DCs provide the lifeline to retailers, manufacturers and end-users alike. As demand for essential goods have become critical in these current times, DCs and warehouses are responding on multiple fronts. Supply chain leaders are required to abide by social distancing protocols in traditional warehouse workflows such as inventory counting, order picking and cold storage environments. DCs are now implementing new procedures and utilizing technology to help enable employees to remain safe throughout the DC. They will require very specific solutions that address cleaning procedures and device chain of custody to maintain their operations and increase productivity. Honeywell understands the challenges within DCs and has developed solutions to assist customers during the current health crisis.
Transport & Logistics (T&L) has witnessed many changes in recent times, largely due to the type of work and diversity within the sector. While the immediate need during this crisis is an operational supply chain, the next focus will be to build a smarter, more flexible, and, especially, more resilient one. Despite e-commerce and the associated T&L players being among those least negatively affected by the crisis, T&L operations will be following new business rules when the economy restarts after extended shutdown conditions, according to supply chain experts who are laying plans to balance safety and profitability. Honeywell understands the challenges T&L companies are facing and has developed solutions to help customers during the current health crisis.
The healthcare industry has experienced dramatic changes during the global health crisis. It has created a healthcare emergency, with a surge in demand for diagnostic drive-thru testing facilities, specimen collection and courier services, and a rise in field hospital set-ups. As the World Health Organization asks citizens to practice physical distancing and many countries/states have implemented social distancing guidelines, the population at large is postponing non-urgent care needs, resulting in a significant impact. Healthcare systems are struggling with developing the right approach and protocols to engage patients and make them feel safe. Honeywell understands the challenges hospitals and healthcare providers are facing, and to help customers, has developed solutions for today’s world.
