AI Assistants comprise the new entry ticket for software developers. A tech writer I’ve followed for years recently posted a worry that Microsoft might bring back “Clippy” in AI guise. I’m glad to see Honeywell joining the trend. They’ve been quiet for some time in all their various divisions. With the announcement of breaking the company into parts makes this news both poignant and essential.
These assistants based upon generative AI are becoming an essential ingredient to user interface as a new generation of operators and engineers enter the workforce.
Honeywell announced the latest 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 industrials to visualize, trend, and troubleshoot production issues from Key Performance Indicator (KPI) deviation contributors and asset relationships.
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 summarize deviations and overall insights quicker and more effectively. The capability not only enhances AI insights with greater explainability and usability but also supports closed-loop collaboration workflows with case management integration.
Honeywell Forge Production Intelligence is part of Honeywell’s recently announced suite of AI-enabled solutions for industrials which also includes Experion Operations Assistant and Field Process Knowledge System.
