Honeywell and Google Cloud announced a unique collaboration connecting artificial intelligence (AI) agents with assets, people and processes to accelerate safer, autonomous operations for the industrial sector.

This partnership will 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 Internet of Things (IoT) platform for industrials. This will unleash easy-to-understand, enterprise-wide insights across a multitude of use cases. 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.

"The path to autonomy requires assets working harder, people working smarter and processes working more efficiently," said Vimal Kapur, Chairman and CEO of Honeywell. "By combining Google Cloud's AI technology with our deep domain expertise--including valuable data on our Honeywell Forge platform--customers will receive unparalleled, actionable insights bridging the physical and digital worlds to accelerate autonomous operations, a key driver of Honeywell's growth."

"Our partnership with Honeywell represents a significant step forward in bringing the transformative power of AI to industrial operations," said Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud. "With Gemini on Vertex AI, combined with Honeywell's industrial data and expertise, we're creating new opportunities to optimize processes, empower workforces and drive meaningful business outcomes for industrial organizations worldwide."
