Honeywell and Qualcomm Technologies announced an expanded collaboration to develop new artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled solutions for the energy sector. The design and development of these solutions supports Honeywell's recent re-alignment of its portfolio to target three perceived megatrends: Automation, Future of Aviation, and Energy Transition.
Through the collaboration, Honeywell intends to incorporate Qualcomm Technologies' connectivity and AI capabilities into its existing AI-powered applications, such as the Honeywell Field Process Knowledge System (PKS). Integrating these capabilities is designed to enable Honeywell's Field PKS to provide connectivity to remote corners of plant and manufacturing facilities and enable greater data capture and analytics at the edge.
Qualcomm Technologies' portfolio of low power AI-enabled processors with native wireless connectivity, software, and computer vision combined with Honeywell's portfolio of sensing technologies will enable the development of a family of industrial sensors used for monitoring process parameters, asset parameters, or environmental conditions. These new capabilities will help deliver more information to field and service technicians, enabling faster delivery of answers that can result in time savings, greater accuracy, and interactive results.
Earlier this year, Honeywell and Qualcomm Technologies began developing an AI-enabled Multi-Modal Intelligent Agent designed to allow workers in distribution centers and retail industries to interact naturally with handheld devices through voice, pictures, and video. In 2025, Honeywell intends to add the computer vision capabilities in the Multi-Modal Intelligent Agent to Honeywell's Field PKS.
