Honeywell has launched Advance Control for Buildings, a groundbreaking platform marking one of the company’s most substantial leaps in building controls innovation to date.
Designed to automate building management and provide the foundation for a building’s energy efficiency strategy, Advance Control combines the latest technologies with decades of innovation and domain expertise. Automation and Machine Learning fuel a streamlined operation system featuring built-in cybersecurity and technology to deliver faster network speeds that, in an industry first, uses existing wiring. This announcement further supports Honeywell’s recently announced plans to realign its business with three compelling megatrends, including automation and energy transition.
“Today, buildings are facing mounting pressures around safety, operational efficiency and energy efficiency. By pushing the boundaries of technological advancement, Advance Control not only helps building managers optimise their building operations to meet these pressures, but also champions innovation,” said Steve Kenny, Vice President and General Manager, Honeywell Building Management Systems. “Automation breaks down operational barriers to give building managers more control over the efficiency of their buildings, ultimately helping improve the occupant experience while advancing energy management goals.”
As part of this rollout, Honeywell recently announced strategic alliances with two semiconductor leaders, NXP Semiconductors N.V. and Analog Devices, to streamline the transition to intelligent edge processing. With NXP, Honeywell seeks to elevate Machine Learning and autonomous decision-making for enhanced energy management and convenience, as well as enhanced security within and beyond the building.
