Honeywell and Google Cloud announced a collaboration connecting artificial intelligence (AI) agents with assets, people, and processes to accelerate safer, autonomous operations for the industrial sector. This partnership will bring together the multimodality and natural language capabilities of Gemini on Vertex AI–Google Cloud's AI platform–and the Honeywell Forge data set, an Internet of Things (IoT) platform for industrials.
The collaboration’s intent is to unleash easy-to-understand, enterprise-wide insights across a multitude of use cases. Honeywell's customers across the industrial sector will benefit from opportunities to reduce maintenance costs, increase operational productivity and upskill employees. The first solutions built with Google Cloud AI will be available to Honeywell's customers in 2025.
With the mass retirement of workers from the baby boomer generation, the industrial sector faces both labor and skills shortages, and AI can be part of the solution–as a revenue generator, not job eliminator. This partnership will provide AI agents that augment the existing operations and workforce to help drive AI adoption and enable companies across the sector to benefit from expanding automation.
Honeywell and Google Cloud will co-innovate solutions around:
Purpose-Built, Industrial AI Agents
Built on Google Cloud's Vertex AI Search and tailored to engineers' specific needs, a new AI-powered agent will help automate tasks and reduce project design cycles, enabling users to focus on driving innovation and delivering exceptional customer experiences.
Additional agents will utilize Google's large language models (LLMs) to help technicians to resolve maintenance issues more quickly (e.g., "How did a unit perform last night?" "How do I replace the input/output module?" or "Why is my system making this sound?"). By leveraging Gemini's multimodality capabilities, users will be able to process various data types such as images, videos, text, and sensor readings, which will help its engineers get the answers they need quickly–going beyond simple chat and predictions.
Enhanced Cybersecurity
Google Threat Intelligence–featuring frontline insight from Mandiant–will be integrated into current Honeywell cybersecurity products, including Global Analysis, Research and Defense (GARD) Threat Intelligence and Secure Media Exchange (SMX), to help enhance threat detection and protect global infrastructure for industrial customers.
On-the-Edge Device Advances
Looking ahead, Honeywell will explore using Google's Gemini Nano model to enhance Honeywell edge AI devices' intelligence in multiple use cases across verticals, ranging from scanning performance to voice-based guided workflow, maintenance, operational, and alarm assistance without the need to connect to the internet and cloud. This is the beginning of a new wave of more intelligent devices and solutions, which will be the subject of future Honeywell announcements.
By leveraging AI to enable growth and productivity, the integration of Google Cloud technology also supports Honeywell's alignment of its portfolio to three compelling megatrends, including automation.
