Honeywell introduces an AI assistant for better production insights

By Staff Report February 14, 2025 11:58 am IST

Honeywell launched Honeywell Forge Production Intelligence, a new AI-enabled platform that integrates performance monitoring with a generative AI assistant.

Honeywell announced the release of Honeywell Forge Production Intelligence, which seamlessly integrates performance monitoring with a new generative AI assistant to help operators and production managers automate tasks and troubleshoot problems.

By leveraging advanced generative AI models, the platform’s new Intelligent Assistant is designed to enhance user experience by allowing engineers, plant managers, and business leaders to access key insights through simple, natural language prompts. The tool will also enable industries to visualise, trend, and troubleshoot production issues from Key Performance Indicator (KPI) deviation contributors and asset relationships.

“As the industry continues to wrestle with the loss of expertise through higher rates of attrition and the challenges of onboarding new talent, it is good to see the incorporation of generative AI copilots, like Honeywell’s Intelligent Assistant, that help to make it easier and faster for users of varying experience to get critical insights about the status of their production operations,” said ARC Advisory Group’s Director of Research, Mark Sen Gupta. “Such scalable and replicable solutions are invaluable for companies grappling in a fast-changing business environment.”

The cloud-native platform merges performance monitoring with advanced analytics, enabling rapid root cause analysis of production issues. With the addition of the Intelligent Assistant, users can now summarise deviations and overall insights quicker and more effectively. The capability enhances AI insights with greater explainability and usability and supports closed-loop collaboration workflows with case management integration.

Pramesh Maheshwari, President, Honeywell Process Solutions, said, “Honeywell Forge Production Intelligence represents a significant step forward in making data-driven insights accessible to engineers and industrial business leaders globally. We understand the challenges faced by our customers and believe that by leveraging generative AI, we can help assets work harder, people work smarter, and systems be more efficient.”

Honeywell Forge Production Intelligence is part of Honeywell’s recently launched suite of AI-enabled solutions for industrials, which includes Experion Operations Assistant and Field Process Knowledge System.
