Honeywell and IDEMIA recently announced that the two companies have formed a strategic alliance to create an intelligent building ecosystem that provides a more seamless experience for operators and occupants.
The alliance will integrate Honeywell’s security and building management systems with IDEMIA’s biometric-based access control systems to try and create safer and more efficient buildings. The alliance will oversee the design of solutions that allow occupants to easily and securely have contactless engagement with a building – from vehicle recognition at the car park and automatic elevator calls to biometric-based access and personalised conference room settings.
Focusing on security and data privacy, these solutions are set to provide occupants with a safer and more enjoyable experience that will help building owners attract tenants.
Manish Sharma, VP, Chief Technology and Chief Product Officer for Honeywell Building Technologies, remarked: “We recognise that our customers need to deliver business outcomes like managing complex security requirements and providing healthier, more productive environments.
“By working with IDEMIA we will create an intelligent building ecosystem that better addresses our customers’ key challenges and drives their desired outcomes. Whether it’s a commercial office building, a hospital or an airport, we have the ability to change the way people experience and interact with buildings for the better.”
“We look forward to expanding our long-standing relationship with Honeywell to bring greater value to our customers with more integrated solutions that make for a more seamless building experience,” added Matt Cole, CEO, Secure Enterprise Transactions Division, IDEMIA.
“The ability for our technology to easily integrate with Honeywell’s safety and security systems will provide building owners and operators more insight and control into creating more efficient buildings, while putting the occupant experience first.”
