Honeywell and TCS Collaborate to Enhance Autonomous Operations for Buildings and Industries with AI
Bangalore, February 2026 - The strategic collaboration combines
Honeywell’s automation and software expertise with TCS’ IT cloud and consulting
capabilities
Honeywell
(Nasdaq: HON) and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a
global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, have announced a strategic
partnership to help building operators move beyond traditional automation
toward enterprise-wide autonomy.
With Honeywell’s deep experience in
OT (Operational Technology) automation, control systems and AI-powered data
analytics and integrating it with TCS’ IT modernization, cloud, and consulting,
the collaboration aims to unlock real-time intelligence, improve operational
efficiencies, and help deliver measurable business outcomes for customers.
Under the new initiative, to support the flow of OT data into customers’
IT systems, Honeywell will create a unified digital foundation for real-time
visibility, predictive intelligence and autonomous process control by using TCS’
IT and consultancy capabilities. Honeywell will bring the power of Honeywell
Forge, an IoT platform delivering AI-powered analytics and dashboards for
intelligent, efficient and more secure operations including its Honeywell Forge
for Industrials and Buildings suites.
This will help building and industrial
operators to optimize processes and deploy AI?powered autonomous operations
that can perceive, analyse, act and learn, helping customers be nimble and more
informed to make faster decisions. Combining Honeywell’s
deep expertise in OT automation, control systems and AI-driven analytics with
TCS’ IT, cloud and consulting capabilities, customers can seamlessly bring
their OT and IT environments together into a single, integrated infrastructure.
Ashish
Modi, President, Honeywell India & Asia Pacific, said: “Our
customers run incredibly complex operations. Historically, OT and IT have been
run as separate domains, but with new capabilities in 5G connectivity, cloud
computing and AI, we can now accelerate the OT/IT convergence to improve
operations and data analysis through one cohesive system. This is anticipated
to make it easier for our building and industrial customers to run their
operations with greater safety, efficiency and agility and reveal new
actionable insights on the performance of their infrastructure.”
Anupam
Singhal, President, Manufacturing Business Group, TCS, said: “Our partnership with Honeywell is centred on helping enterprises unlock
the benefits of autonomous workflows and redefine autonomy at scale. By
combining the deep industry expertise of both Honeywell and TCS with our strong
digital and AI capabilities, we are enabling organizations to run more connected,
efficient, and sustainable operations. This collaboration reflects our shared
commitment to long?term value creation and helping customers make more
intelligent decisions as they become truly future?ready.”
As part of the collaboration, Honeywell will also leverage its AI-powered industrial and building technologies and OT cybersecurity solutions that are designed to transform key vertical sectors and enhance process efficiency, strengthen workforce competency and improve asset uptime. The new initiative will be offered to customers in India before being extended to global regions, including the United States and the Middle East.
