Why TCS and Honeywell are focusing on India with autonomous building capability

TCS and Honeywell recently announced a new collaboration bringing together Honeywell’s expertise in automation, operational technology (OT) systems, and AI-powered analytics with TCS’ IT, cloud computing, and consulting capabilities.

The idea is that by integrating IT and OT environments into a single infrastructure, customers can unlock real-time intelligence, improve operational efficiency, and enable more autonomous, data-driven operations across industrial infrastructure.

The technology to enable this unlocking includes IoT sensors, AI and connected systems to monitor and optimise environments and has been around for a while. Adoption has been slower than anticipated in the West with its largely brownfield opportunity because re-fitting existing buildings is often more expensive than ripping them down and re-building from scratch. This new partnership will open up business opportunity, according to Anupam Singhal, President and Business Group Head, Manufacturing TCS.
