Overview
How each tool is described
Honeywell Forge
What is Honeywell Forge?
Honeywell Forge is Honeywell’s open-architecture, hardware-agnostic industrial intelligence platform for connecting installed assets, operational technology (OT), enterprise data, and control systems, then applying domain-specific models, analytics, and AI to support increasingly autonomous operations.
- Operational intelligence: Forge is designed to work across existing infrastructure, including third-party systems, rather than requiring organizations to replace their installed equipment. It contextualizes data from physical assets using Honeywell’s domain models and bridges IT and OT information for real-time operational decision-making.
- AI and automation: Honeywell Forge combines operational domain knowledge with deterministic AI models and real-world operating constraints. Its AI Engine provides a foundation for deploying AI across enterprise operations, while Honeywell also reports running domain-trained agentic workflows in live customer environments to automate processes and support operational decisions.
- Industrial applications: the Forge portfolio includes applications for production intelligence and asset performance. Production Intelligence provides real-time monitoring, early anomaly detection, forecasts, guided root-cause analysis, deviation prediction, and recommended actions, while Asset Performance applies predictive analytics and hybrid AI/ML models to equipment health and reliability.
- Deployment and commercial model: Forge consists of an underlying intelligence platform, industry applications, an AI Engine, and Honeywell digital services rather than one fixed software package. Public standard pricing is not listed, and deployment requirements vary by application; factors such as connectivity, historian and operational-data availability, existing control systems, cloud requirements, and the specific Forge applications selected affect implementation.
Honeywell Forge is most relevant to industrial and asset-intensive organizations that want to use existing OT infrastructure and operational data for production intelligence, asset reliability, and progressively more automated decision-making rather than introducing a standalone analytics dashboard.
OpreX Asset Health
What is OpreX Asset Health Insights?
OpreX Asset Health Insights is Yokogawa’s cloud-based asset performance monitoring and OT data platform for industrial operations. It collects, refines, and aggregates operational data so plant, maintenance, and reliability teams can monitor asset health, investigate anomalies, track performance, and apply predictive analytics across distributed equipment and systems.
- Asset monitoring: OpreX AHI combines real-time and historical data in asset-centric dashboards with KPIs, benchmarking, alerts, equipment details, and configurable failure criteria. Its self-service environment allows users to build asset hierarchies and visualizations, while the core platform is organized into Data Management, Data Insight, and Data Analytic modules.
- Predictive analytics: the Data Analytic environment supports machine-learning model training, testing, and deployment for use cases including regression and anomaly detection. Real-time anomaly analytics can generate warning or critical alerts, while an integrated AI Assistant helps users explore anomaly data and interpret patterns. Yokogawa positions these capabilities for predictive maintenance and intervention before equipment disruption or failure.
- Industrial connectivity: preloaded drivers can connect field devices, sensors, PLCs, DCS, SCADA systems, historians, and ERP systems. New and existing sensors can contribute measurements such as pressure, flow, temperature, and vibration, with incoming data cleaned and configured in Yokogawa Cloud before monitoring.
- Packages and deployment: additional packages include APR-APM, PUMP-APM, Asset Digital Twin, Asset Energy Management, Smart Asset Viewer, and Reliability and Process Expert for automated root-cause analysis. OpreX AHI is quote-based rather than sold through published standard plans, and Yokogawa offers demos and consultation for deployment planning.
OpreX Asset Health Insights is most relevant to asset-intensive industrial operations that need to consolidate heterogeneous OT data and move from centralized condition monitoring into anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and asset-level operational analysis.
