Honeywell Technologies Launches Forge Cognition with NVIDIA and Dell Technologies, Advancing Physical AI Across Buildings and Industrial Operations

CHARLOTTE, N.C., October 14, 2026 — Honeywell Technologies (NASDAQ: HON) today introduced Forge Cognition, a self-contained agentic AI and simulation platform for facility operations—developed with technology from NVIDIA and Dell Technologies—across a range of physical environments, such as buildings, campuses and industrial operations.

Facility teams must sift through alarms and equipment data to identify problems, plan maintenance and manage energy use. Forge Cognition combines real-time digital twins with AI agents to help operators understand facility conditions, simulate operating scenarios and autonomously coordinate actions across supported existing systems, helping improve asset reliability, energy efficiency and operational performance.

“The physical world demands more than a powerful AI model. It requires AI to understand how systems actually operate and interact—that is where the next breakthrough is happening,” said Suresh Venkatarayalu, Chief Technology Officer, Honeywell Technologies. “Forge Cognition combines AI with operational context and engineering expertise, opening a new era of intelligent operations where AI can analyze, recommend and act alongside people.”

A Faster Path to Intelligent Buildings & Operations

Forge Cognition connects to existing customer deployments, adding AI capabilities to Honeywell Technologies’ suite of solutions. It combines Honeywell Technologies’ decades of domain expertise with assets and systems data in a structured knowledge base, enabling AI agents to discover, contextualize and analyze equipment behavior, and the relationship between systems.

Agents use that context to interpret operating conditions, identify issues and coordinate responses across connected systems. Applications include:

The technology is designed to augment human expertise. Customers can operate Forge Cognition in manual, semi-autonomous or autonomous modes. Operators set the level of oversight and control and can override it at any time.

Delivering Physical AI Technologies for Agentic Operations

Forge Cognition’s open, interoperable architecture converges IT and OT environments, helping customers make their infrastructure more intelligent, while tapping into leading AI and computing technologies from NVIDIA and Dell Technologies:

“Physical AI is bringing new intelligence to the complex systems that run our buildings and industrial facilities,” said Deepu Talla, vice president of robotics and edge AI at NVIDIA. “Honeywell Technologies is combining NVIDIA AI and simulation technologies with its deep industrial expertise to help customers anticipate equipment issues, improve reliability and energy efficiency across the infrastructure they already operate.”

"The next wave of AI innovation will be driven by intelligent systems that can reason, learn and act in the context of real-world operations," said John Roese, global chief technology and chief AI officer, Dell Technologies. "The Dell AI Factory provides the infrastructure and services that support Honeywell's vision for intelligent physical operations."

Honeywell Technologies is piloting Forge Cognition at NVIDIA’s Voyager campus, the Fairmont Hotel in Dubai, NEX Mall in Singapore, Vanderbilt University in the US, and at its own campuses in Bangalore and Richardson, Texas, providing early examples of how physical AI can help improve the operations of complex facilities across Honeywell Technologies’ install base of more than 300,000 sites.
