Honeywell and Google Cloud have collaborated to connect AI agents with assets, people, and processes to advance safer, autonomous operations for the industrial sector. This partnership is expected to bring 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, a leading IoT platform for industrials.

This will unleash easy-to-understand, enterprise-wide insights across a multitude of use cases. With this, 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.

According to Honeywell’s 2024 Industrial AI Insights report, although 82% of leaders boast of being early AI adopters, only 17% have fully launched their initial AI plans. This partnership will leverage AI agents to enhance the existing operations and workforce and help drive AI adoption while enabling companies across the sector to benefit from expanding automation.

Honeywell and Google Cloud will co-innovate solutions around:

1. Purpose-built, industrial AI agents

2. Enhanced cybersecurity

3. On-the-edge device advances
