HONEYWELL TO SUPPORT AMERICAN BATTERY FACTORY'S NEW GIGAFACTORY

Honeywell announced that American Battery Factory (ABF), a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery cell manufacturer, is fully integrating Honeywell's automation and process safety solutions in its new gigafactory located in Tucson, Arizona.

At approximately 2 million square feet, the facility will be the largest gigafactory to produce LFP battery cells in the United States upon completion. Energy storage systems made from ABF's battery cell production will be available to households, businesses and utilities, allowing them to optimize their use of energy from the grid or from their own systems.

The Arizona gigafactory will integrate Honeywell's Manufacturing Excellence Platform, Experion^® Batch, and Integrated Remote operations to help ABF optimize its manufacturing process and workflow. Honeywell's innovative solutions will allow ABF to visualize and control its battery production process in real-time -- from mixing, coating and assembly to storage and distribution. Honeywell's technologies will also streamline and improve the collection of operations data while gathering insights about upcoming tasks or potential delays for operators. The results: improved yields, reduced waste and the achievement of more energy-efficient and cost-effective battery production.

American Battery Factory is developing the first-ever network of safe LFP cell gigafactories in the United States and intends to implement Honeywell's end-to-end solutions throughout. The company is dedicated to making energy independence and renewable energy a reality for the United States by creating a domestic battery supply chain. Along with creating domestic manufacturing jobs, ABF will play a crucial role in meeting federal and state government climate change initiatives and "Made-in-USA" national security requirements.
