Honeywell Technologies adds EBI One AI to Forge Cognition

Honeywell Technologies is repositioning itself as a building-technology-focused organization after spinning off its aerospace business earlier this year. The EBI One upgrades build on the Forge Cognition platform launched on Oct. 14, which was developed in tandem with Nvidia and Dell Technologies. That platform is a self-contained agentic AI and simulation platform for facility operations across buildings, campuses and industrial operations.

The new EBI One capabilities integrate with EBI, Honeywell's building management system that unifies HVAC, security, fire and life safety, lighting and energy management into a single interface. Features include alarm assist, which uses machine learning to classify alarms, and AI assist, a conversational tool that extracts building insights from operational data. Honeywell says the integration also includes an open integration network for low-code or no-code applications and a redesigned architecture for faster upgrades with reduced risk of data loss.

Honeywell also announced low-level carbon monoxide monitoring and fire safety tools, including incident command software and sensor technology that can differentiate fire signatures to reduce nuisance alarms. Looking ahead, the company said it will release the LenelS2 Adaptive Intelligence Suite in early 2027, layering contextual AI onto existing platforms starting with LenelS2 OnGuard, and Niagara 5, the next generation of its framework for connecting building systems from any vendor.
