HOUSTON, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON) and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. today 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 better be 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.

"We are committed to developing on-device generative AI solutions that will propel the expansion of the connected intelligent edge to help drive digital transformation," said Nakul Duggal, group general manager, automotive, industrial and embedded IoT, and cloud computing, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "This collaboration with Honeywell enhances how industries and businesses interact with their environments through intelligent and responsive technology. Our recent acquisition of Sequans' 4G IoT technology adds to Qualcomm Technologies' broad portfolio, further strengthening our technology offerings for Industrial IoT applications."

"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."

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.
