On October 25, Honeywell announced a partnership with Hive Energy Technologies Inc. (hereinafter referred to as: Beehive Energy and its wholly-owned subsidiary Dr. Octopus signed a tripartite strategic cooperation agreement, combining Honeywell’s deep technology accumulation and excellent operation management system in the field of intelligent manufacturing, as well as Beehive Energy’s extensive scene resources and rich industry experience, to build a lithium battery industry lighthouse factory, and jointly create a one-stop solution for intelligent manufacturing. We will promote the smart transformation of the new energy industry.
“Intelligent manufacturing is becoming an important direction for various industries to promote industrial technological change and optimization and upgrading.” Honeywell shares a highly aligned strategic vision with Hive Energy and Dr. Octopus, and has reached a consensus on the strategic significance and market potential of smart manufacturing transformation in the new energy industry.” “We are excited to join hands with Beehive Energy and Dr. Octopus to set the benchmark for digital factories with proven solutions and extensive application experience to help the entire new energy industry chain achieve high-quality sustainable development,” said Xiaozhou Chai, president of Honeywell Safety and Productivity Solutions Group China.
In August this year, Honeywell and Honeycomb Energy entered into a partnership, Honeywell through the integration of their own products and technology advantages, to provide advanced digital solutions to build Honeycomb Energy digital factory. The signing of the strategic cooperation agreement between Honeywell and Beehive Energy and Dr. Octopus is a further deepening of the strategic cooperation among the three parties, and also demonstrates Honeywell’s commitment to working with partners to jointly promote the transformation and upgrading of industrial intelligent manufacturing.
Relying on the leading technology in the fields of industrial sensing, data acquisition, automation and control, and the mature system of industrial product research and development, Honeywell will further help Honeycomb Energy to develop industrial intelligent hardware products, explore industrial intelligent hardware innovation, and redefine the commercial application scenario of the lithium battery industry. In addition, as a leading overall solution provider for digital transformation, Honeywell will use the Lighthouse Factory iot project as a prototype to establish an industrial iot platform to achieve Honeycomb Energy group-level deployment, operation monitoring and data analysis, create a one-stop solution for intelligent manufacturing in the lithium battery industry, and enable new energy manufacturing enterprises to achieve lean and automated industrial intelligent manufacturing transformation and upgrading.
“Under the dual background of current energy transformation and digital transformation, Hive Energy still faces many challenges in production and operation management, such as unified system management of equipment and further improvement of data collection capabilities.” Yang Hongxin, Chairman and CEO of Beehive Energy, said, “As a power battery company with innovative genes, Beehive Energy actively embraces change and moves rapidly toward the world’s leading energy interconnection technology company. Smart manufacturing is an important part of Honeycomb Energy’s overall strategy, and the cooperation with Honeywell will help realize Honeycomb Energy’s integrated industry platform and create a win-win AI smart manufacturing ecological alliance.”
New energy scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading have become a major measure to further promote the energy revolution, and also the main force to achieve sustainable development and “double carbon” goals. In China, Honeywell firmly implements the localization development strategy of “East serves East”, based on the new development pattern, and works with upstream and downstream partners in the industry to jointly promote the application of innovative technologies such as intelligent manufacturing, Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence in the new energy industry, jointly explore the “intelligent manufacturing road” of China’s lithium battery industry, and help China’s high-quality sustainable development.
