HONEYWELL AND QUALCOMM WORK TO REVOLUTIONIZE ENERGY SECTOR

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 with Qualcomm Technologies supports Honeywell's alignment of its portfolio to three compelling megatrends, including automation.

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). By integrating these capabilities, Honeywell's Field PKS will be better able to help 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 extensive 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.

"The combination of Qualcomm Technologies' industry-leading on-device AI processors with Honeywell's AI-enabled technology will enable field workers to work smarter, help make assets more efficient and improve the overall performance of the process industry," said Pramesh Maheshwari, President of Honeywell Process Solutions. "With the introduction of AI-enabled solutions such as Honeywell's Field PKS, Multi-Modal Intelligent Agent and sensor technologies, we are advancing what's possible for the process industry with mobile field technicians and autonomous operations."
