The collaboration aims to help buildings operate more intelligently by integrating NXP’s application processors into Honeywell’s BMS.
Honeywell and NXP Semiconductors NV have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to help improve the feel of commercial buildings and safely control energy consumption.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), building operations contribute 30% of global energy consumption and 26% of global energy-related emissions, so decisions made today can significantly impact future energy use and potential savings. will affect Today’s smart energy solutions increasingly leverage machine learning and data analytics to increase the autonomy and energy efficiency of buildings.
Announced at the recent CES 2024 event, the collaboration aims to integrate NXP Semiconductors’ neural network-enabled, industrial-grade applications processors into Honeywell’s building management systems (BMS) to make buildings more intelligent. Have to help. The MOU will initially focus on the Honeywell Optimizer Suite, which offers a flexible, more future-proof building control and automation platform.

More broadly, the effort aims to deliver smart energy solutions powered by AI/machine learning and data analytics to guide service technicians to improve building autonomy, driving energy efficiency. The goal is to fully leverage the capabilities of NXP’s neural network-enabled i.MX chipset to further enhance Honeywell’s BMS product offerings.
“Buildings are increasingly relying on the ability to control operations through data and automation to make them more sustainable while operating more efficiently. NXP’s advanced machine learning solutions enable us to create automation for our customers.” will help deliver optimal performance,” said Suresh Venkatariyalu, Chief Technology Officer, Honeywell.
“Enhancing the sustainability and comfort of smart buildings has never been more important. NXP’s innovative portfolio of securely connected processing solutions supports the rapid development of AI models and long-term building management for provisioning and managing IoT devices. Supported by easy-to-use tools for the lifecycle.” This capability, combined with Honeywell’s expertise as one of the leading building management solution providers, said Lars Rieger, chief technology officer at NXP Semiconductors. marks an important milestone in our shared vision.
Honeywell will build on NXP’s scalable semiconductor and software solutions, such as i.MX 8M applications processors and i.MX RT crossover microcontrollers, to help securely observe, learn and adapt in real time. To do this, it will improve analytics and decision making. -Site BMS equipment that manages critical building systems. Augmented by cloud-based big data analytics through Honeywell Forge Analytics solutions, buildings can quickly leverage better foresight and insights to optimize energy use to enable better sustainability outcomes.
