International. Honeywell and Huawei announced they have a collaboration agreement to offer the market smart building offerings that leverage the latest Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to help make buildings more sustainable, secure and energy efficient.
Through the collaboration, both companies will jointly undertake large-scale smart city projects globally to help city managers build smart urban infrastructure that allows them to control costs while making their cities desirable and livable for their residents.
For example, Huawei and Honeywell recently worked together on the Longgang Smart City project in Shenzhen District, China. Honeywell supplied traditional building automation systems for HVAC, safety and fire infrastructure, as well as connected construction solutions to integrate all subsystems for a building control board, alarm management, order management for efficient facility management, rapid response and preventive maintenance. Huawei, for its part, provided information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructures including data center, security protection and monitoring, IoT gateways and cloud services.
An important component of the collaboration is a new IoT gateway announced by Huawei. It is based on Tridium's Niagara Framework and collects and analyzes building data to provide detection, deduction, determination and decision-making capabilities to customers. Tridium is an independent business of Honeywell.
The solution will greatly enhance the intelligence of the building by providing features such as access control, intrusion monitoring and disaster detection in the field of security and security. The gateway offers energy-saving features, with functions such as cooling and heating control, use of natural resources, and management of electrical appliances. It also provides lighting, transport and communication control for greater efficiency and convenience, as well as offering customers an innovative solution for more sustainable, safe and energy-efficient connected buildings.
