Qualcomm and Honeywell Partner to Develop AI-Powered Solutions for the Energy Sector
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and Honeywell have expanded their partnership to create AI-driven solutions tailored for the energy sector. As part of this collaboration, Honeywell will integrate Qualcomm Technologies' AI and connectivity advancements into applications like the Honeywell Field Process Knowledge System (PKS). This integration aims to enhance the Field PKS by providing remote connectivity within plant and manufacturing sites, enabling improved data collection and edge analytics.
Qualcomm Technologies brings a robust portfolio of energy-efficient, AI-enabled processors with built-in wireless connectivity (including 450 MHz, Wi-Fi, LPWA, modems, and private 4G/5G networks), complemented by software and computer vision capabilities. Combined with Honeywell’s advanced sensing technologies, this collaboration will produce a suite of industrial sensors designed to monitor process parameters, asset conditions, and environmental factors. These innovations will equip field and service technicians with more comprehensive insights, promoting faster, more precise, and interactive problem-solving.
“We are dedicated to advancing on-device generative AI solutions to expand the intelligent edge, supporting digital transformation across industries,” said Nakul Duggal, Group General Manager for Automotive, Industrial, Embedded IoT, and Cloud Computing at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “This partnership with Honeywell strengthens how businesses interact with their environments through intelligent, responsive systems. With the addition of Sequans’ 4G IoT technology to our portfolio, we’re further enhancing our Industrial IoT offerings.”
Pramesh Maheshwari, President of Honeywell Process Solutions, highlighted the benefits of combining Qualcomm Technologies’ cutting-edge AI processors with Honeywell’s advanced technologies, noting that it will empower field workers, optimize systems, and elevate process industry performance. “By introducing AI-driven solutions like the Field PKS, Multi-Modal Intelligent Agent, and advanced sensor technologies, we’re transforming the potential of mobile technicians and autonomous operations in the process industry,” Maheshwari said.
Earlier collaborations between the companies included an AI-powered Multi-Modal Intelligent Agent for mobile workers in sectors like retail and distribution. This system, driven by Qualcomm Technologies, enables interaction through voice, images, and video. In 2025, Honeywell plans to integrate Computer Vision capabilities into the Multi-Modal Intelligent Agent as part of its Field PKS system.
