Honeywell Technologies Launches Forge Cognition With NVIDIA and Dell Technologies to Advance Physical AI
Bengaluru, October 15, 2026: Honeywell Technologies introduced Forge Cognition, a self-contained agentic artificial intelligence and simulation platform designed for facility operations across buildings, campuses, and industrial settings, according to a press release issued by the company.
Developed in collaboration with NVIDIA and Dell Technologies, the platform integrates real-time digital twins with AI agents to assist facility teams in understanding operating conditions, simulating scenarios, and coordinating responses across existing infrastructure. The technology aims to enhance asset reliability, energy efficiency, and operational performance while allowing operators to set levels of manual, semi-autonomous, or autonomous oversight.
NVIDIA contributes open models, Omniverse simulation libraries, and accelerated computing infrastructure, while Dell Technologies provides AI infrastructure through the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, including servers, data storage, and cyber resiliency solutions.
Suresh Venkatarayalu, Chief Technology Officer at Honeywell Technologies, said, “The physical world demands more than a powerful AI model. It requires AI to understand how systems actually operate and interact—that is where the next breakthrough is happening. Forge Cognition combines AI with operational context and engineering expertise, opening a new era of intelligent operations where AI can analyze, recommend and act alongside people.”
Deepu Talla, Vice President of Robotics and Edge AI at NVIDIA, said, “Physical AI is bringing new intelligence to the complex systems that run our buildings and industrial facilities. Honeywell Technologies is combining NVIDIA AI and simulation technologies with its deep industrial expertise to help customers anticipate equipment issues, improve reliability and energy efficiency across the infrastructure they already operate.”
John Roese, Global Chief Technology and Chief AI Officer at Dell Technologies, said, “The next wave of AI innovation will be driven by intelligent systems that can reason, learn and act in the context of real-world operations. The Dell AI Factory provides the infrastructure and services that support Honeywell’s vision for intelligent physical operations.”
Honeywell Technologies is piloting the platform across multiple sites globally, including NVIDIA’s Voyager campus in Santa Clara, California, the Fairmont Hotel in Dubai, NEX Mall in Singapore, Vanderbilt University, and company campuses in Bengaluru and Richardson, Texas. During the Voyager pilot, the technology achieved an average reduction of up to 90 percent in unnecessary alerts, identified up to 10 percent in potential energy savings, and maintained a occupant comfort score above 95 percent.
