HONEYWELL

One such example announced this month is Honeywell’s Outcome Based Service, a cloud-enabled building management service that prioritizes maintenance activities to promote optimal facility performance and bottom-line benefits. Without close monitoring, energy consumption can drift by up to 7% annually.

The service taps building connectivity and sensors with the goal of ensuring that building equipment is performing at its best. Results from early pilot deployments show it can help organizations cut energy spend while cutting reactive service calls.

At the core of the latest offering is Honeywell’s Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) platform Sentience which delivers robust and secure IoT and big data capabilities for all of Honeywell’s connected solutions.

Using diagnostic tools and Honeywell’s network of localized technicians, the service focuses on targeted interventions to help facilities more easily identify building problems and improvement opportunities that can drive energy savings along with operational and comfort improvements.

Why are these acquisitions by Honeywell of interest? Vivid Technology are currently collaborating with Honeywell and have a historical project relationship. We know that Vivid offer a full-service intelligent lighting solution to a combined industrial and commercial offering. This could be an interesting space to watch.





From a Vivid Technology interview in April 2017:

1. Are there any global businesses that you are working with in Australia that could take you global?
   
   There are. I can’t really go into all that detail at the moment. But there is absolutely a number of global businesses we’re working with in Australia. One that we probably can talk about that our commercial businesses we’ve worked with, is a group called Honeywell out of the US. Their businesses upgraded the RMIT site in Melbourne for the Bundoora Campus for lighting. We’ve done some other good projects with them and we’re doing some other projects with them here as we speak and we’re looking at opportunities further afield. There is no shortage of opportunities outside of Australia, but we had to prove it here first.
