Honeywell, Saudi Aramco in JV for intelligent operations; creating jobs

Saudi Arabia - Honeywell and Aramco have signed a joint venture (JV) deal to provide a set of end-to-end business process automation solutions under the Aramco Namaat Industrial Investments Programme, which would create over 300 jobs within five years.

The technology solutions can be offered to a wide range of industrial sectors to help maximise profitability, improve productivity, sustainability and operational excellence, on a global scale.

The new JV offerings will leverage Aramco’s Plant.Digital platform (formerly Integrated Manufacturing Operations Management System – iMOMS) as well as Honeywell Connected Enterprise’s technology development and industrial digital solutions implementation experience.

Tools, processes and practices

The JV aims to equip industrial companies with the tools, processes and practices they need to run plant operations more effectively and accelerate sustainable digital transformation and operational excellence initiatives. It will emphasise the development, integration, and deployment of Operations Technology (OT) solutions and Digital Transformation consulting.

“This JV agreement with Honeywell is expected to bring new jobs to the market, contribute to economic growth and serves as another way in which Aramco continues to pursue its Digital Transformation program as part of its evolution to become the world’s leading digitalised energy corporation,” said Ahmad Al Sa’adi, SVP Technical Services at Aramco.
