HONEYWELL USES GOOGLE CLOUD AI TO ACCELERATE AUTONOMOUS OPERATIONSHONEYWELL USES
GOOGLE CLOUD AI TO ACCELERATE AUTONOMOUS OPERATIONS

Google Cloud AI will help Honeywell upskill its workforce while bolstering
Honeywell Forge, the company’s IoT backbone.

AT A GLANCE

 * The partnership delivers the multimodality and natural language capabilities
   of Google Cloud’s AI platform.
 * Google’s AI tools will help Honeywell customers reduce maintenance costs,
   increase productivity, and upskill employees.
 * The AI-powered agents will help automate tasks and reduce project design
   cycles.

Honeywell and Google Cloud have launched a collaboration to connect artificial
intelligence (AI) agents with assets, people, and processes. The goal is to
accelerate safer, autonomous operations in the industrial sector.

This partnership brings together the multimodality and natural language
capabilities of Gemini on Vertex AI – Google Cloud’s AI platform – and the
massive data set on Honeywell Forge, Honeywell’s Internet of Things (IoT)
platform for industrials. The intention is to unleash easy-to-understand
insights across the enterprise.

Honeywell will offer Google’s AI tools to customers to help them 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.

Here's an explanation of how Honeywell intends to utilize Google Cloud:





Honeywell noted that the mass retirement of workers from the baby boomer
generation is one of the challenges Google Cloud can help with. The industrial
sector faces labor and skills shortages, and AI can be part of the solution – as
a revenue generator, not job eliminator. More than two-thirds (82%) of
industrial AI leaders believe their companies are early adopters of AI, but only
17% have fully launched their initial AI plans, according to Honeywell’s 2024
Industrial AI Insights report. The Honeywell and Google partnership is designed
to provide AI agents to augment the existing operations and workforce to help
drive AI adoption and enable companies across the sector to benefit from
expanding automation.

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 more quickly resolve maintenance issues (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 multiple use cases across
verticals, ranging from scanning performance to voice-based guided workflow,
maintenance, operational and alarm assist 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.
