Honeywell Technologies expands autonomous building operations with EBI One

AI-enabled platform integrates Forge Cognition to help organizations reduce downtime, lower the total cost of ownership and decrease operating expenses while creating a foundation for autonomous building operations

ORLANDO – NOV. 10, 2026 – Honeywell Technologies (NASDAQ: HON) today announced the global launch of EBI One, bringing a new level of AI-powered intelligence to a building operations platform already trusted to reduce operational complexity and help improve decision-making.  Built on decades of Enterprise Buildings Integrator (EBI) experience managing more than 30,000 buildings, including fire, access, video, BMS and energy, this proven command and control platform now integrates with the AI-powered Intelligence of Honeywell Technologies Forge Cognition to help building owners and operators improve efficiency and safety via use of an AI Assist feature.

Growing operational asset data and the need to manage across multiple building systems are putting greater pressure on operators than ever before. Facility teams are expected to maintain uptime, strengthen cybersecurity, manage increasingly complex environments and make faster decisions, often with fewer experienced personnel. Yet, operators frequently spend valuable time searching across disconnected systems, manually investigating alarms and piecing together the context needed to understand what is happening before action can begin.

“EBI One uses Forge Cognition to help address the central challenge faced by all building operators today: turning data into operational understanding at the moment a decision needs to be made,” said Juan Picon, President & CEO, Building Automation. “We are now bringing intelligence directly into the operating environment on a platform with 25-years of proven reliability, helping teams focus on what matters most and respond with greater speed and confidence.”

Announced at Accelerate 2026, Honeywell Technologies' flagship Building Automation customer event, EBI One combines physical building systems and human operator control to allow for use of AI-enabled analysis and intelligence from Forge Cognition, the recently launched agentic AI and simulation platform. Together, they help provide situational and contextual awareness to guide operators and allow them to optimize control sequences and setpoints to save energy and noticeably reduce the alarm load on building operators.  This helps to improve uptime, speed response and reduce operating costs.

Together, EBI One and Forge Cognition feature several enhancements for building operators:

ALARM ASSIST: Alarm Assist uses machine learning to interpret and classify alarms, helping operators triage them and focus their time on the issues that matter most.

AI ASSIST: A new conversational AI tool helps operators quickly extract building insights from EBI operational data and documentation, including events, alarms and historical values using a natural language interface.

FASTER, SIMPLER UPGRADES: EBI One’s redesigned, containerized architecture enables significantly faster upgrades with a lower risk of data loss. It also helps to improve scalability and simplify maintenance, now supporting large deployments, such as networks of connected data centers and university campuses.

EASIER ACCESS: A new, full function browser interface makes it easier for operators to access and use EBI One Command and Control while on the go.

OPEN INTEGRATION FRAMEWORK: A new integration framework lets users build low-code or no-code integration applications on site, significantly reducing the need for costly, time-consuming integrations.

Fairmont Hotel Abu Dhabi, UAE is an early adopter of EBI One and Forge Cognition and has already seen the impact across its building operations thanks to the new features, such as easier web browser access and alarm enhancements.

“We are extremely pleased with the new Web Station software. The Alarm Display and Alarm Assist features enhance situational awareness and streamline alarm prioritization, enabling our team to focus on the most critical issues and deliver faster, more efficient responses,” said Victor Lawrence, Director of Engineering, Fairmont Hotel Abu Dhabi, UAE

Early adopter deployments have demonstrated measurable economic and productivity gains, helping accelerate integration, reduce maintenance complexity and improve visibility into building operations. In some deployments, organizations have reduced implementation timelines from months of development to days of on-site configuration while decreasing the time and risk associated with upgrading business-critical systems.

Together, EBI One and Forge Cognition reflect Honeywell Technologies' broader vision for helping organizations move from connected buildings to intelligent, outcome-driven operations. By bringing intelligence closer to where operational decisions are made, the platform helps teams understand conditions faster, prioritize issues more effectively and improve performance over time.
