Honeywell, IDEMIA to Develop Intelligent Building Solutions
Honeywell and IDEMIA have formed a strategic alliance to create and cultivate an intelligent building ecosystem that provides a more seamless and enhanced experience for operators and occupants alike.
The alliance will integrate Honeywell’s security and building management systems with IDEMIA’s biometric-based access control systems to create frictionless, safer and more efficient buildings.
“We recognize that our customers need to deliver business outcomes like managing complex security requirements and providing healthier, more productive environments,” said Fahmi Jabri, general manager, Honeywell Commercial Security, Middle East, Turkey and Africa. “By combining Honeywell’s expertise in security and building management systems with IDEMIA’s biometric-based access control systems, we can create an intelligent building ecosystem for regional operators and occupants that better addresses the key challenges that have arisen as we navigate this new normal together.
“This alliance will also support the region’s digital transformation amid increasing demand for more AI-powered, cybersecurity solutions. With end-to-end encryption between IDEMIA MorphoWaveTM and VisionPass edge devices and Pro-Watch Integrated Security platform, for example, our combined capabilities help to build operators to protect sensitive data while adding cutting edge biometric identification to their security portfolio, without having to manage separate systems,” he continued.
“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,” said Nicolas Garcia, VP Sales (the Middle East & Africa), Biometric Devices, IDEMIA. “The ability for our technology to easily integrate with Honeywell 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.”
The Honeywell and IDEMIA alliance is intended to design solutions that will 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 personalized conference room settings.
IDEMIA products also support Honeywell’s Healthy Buildings solutions that help building owners improve building environments, operate more cleanly and safely and encourage sustained compliance with changing building standards, safety guidelines, government-issued regulations and a company’s risk management policies.
