Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) has introduced a new application called Honeywell Quality Management Review (HQMR), aimed at enhancing the management of quality systems within the life sciences industry. This application is designed to digitize and streamline operations, boosting productivity and supporting Honeywell’s focus on automation as part of its broader strategic initiatives.
The conventional Quality Management Review (QMR) process is vital for maintaining regulatory compliance in the life sciences sector, but it often involves significant time, costs, and labor. Honeywell’s HQMR seeks to address these challenges by eliminating inefficiencies and providing near real-time intelligent insights, making the QMR process more efficient and effective.
“Quality Management Review plays a key role in evaluating the performance and effectiveness of an organization’s quality systems, ultimately helping manufacturers ensure they deliver safe and high-quality products,” said Martin Dowdall, vice president and general manager of connected life sciences at Honeywell. “HQMR transforms the traditional QMR process into a more insightful and actionable practice, simplifying adherence to regulatory guidelines.”
The HQMR application is tailored to meet the demands of modern manufacturers by offering streamlined processes and intelligent workflows. These features enable operators to make better-informed decisions while reducing the time and resources needed to analyze data. HQMR also allows users to consolidate and summarize data from various sites, providing executives with a comprehensive view of quality management system (QMS) performance across multiple locations.
The application is particularly beneficial for sectors such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and biotechnology, where enhanced quality compliance and efficiency are critical. Emilia Castellucci, Group Head of Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs at Inspiration Healthcare, an early adopter of HQMR, commented on the benefits of the new solution: “The HQMR app has shown significant potential in reducing cycle times for generating management review presentations and standardizing reports. Its features integrate seamlessly with other business management systems, and we’ve already seen improvements in the quality of data compared to our previous system.”
Honeywell, a global leader across various industries, aligns its business with three major trends—automation, the future of aviation, and energy transition. These efforts are supported by the Honeywell Accelerator operating system and the Honeywell Forge IoT platform. As a trusted partner, Honeywell delivers innovative solutions through its Aerospace Technologies, Industrial Automation, Building Automation, and Energy and Sustainability Solutions segments, helping to create a smarter, safer, and more sustainable world.
