Honeywell Launches AI Smart Shopping Platform with Google Cloud and Lowers 2025 Guidance
Honeywell is partnering with Google Cloud and 66degrees to launch an AI-enabled Smart Shopping Platform leveraging Google Gemini and Vertex AI on Mobility Edge devices, available beginning February 2026. The company also trimmed its fiscal 2025 guidance due to segment restructuring and litigation expenses, lowering full-year adjusted EPS and revenue projections.
1. Honeywell Launches AI-Powered Smart Shopping Platform
On January 11, 2026, Honeywell International unveiled its new Smart Shopping Platform, developed in collaboration with Google Cloud and systems integrator 66degrees. The cloud-based solution combines Honeywell’s Mobility Edge™ hardware with Google Cloud’s Gemini and Vertex AI technologies to deliver real-time product information, personalized recommendations and in-store navigation. Shoppers using Honeywell for Android devices such as the CS32 Personal Shopper can link loyalty accounts to receive suggestions based on purchase history, preferences and current promotions. Retail associates equipped with Honeywell CT70 handhelds gain instant access to product locations and substitution recommendations when items are out of stock. Early deployments with major grocery and big-box chains have demonstrated a 15% increase in basket size and a 20% reduction in customer search time, validating the platform’s ability to drive higher same-store sales and improve labor efficiency.
2. Company Trims Fiscal 2025 Guidance
Concurrent with the product announcement, Honeywell revised its fiscal 2025 outlook downward, attributing the adjustment to ongoing segment restructuring and higher-than-expected litigation expenses. Management now expects full-year adjusted earnings per share of $7.25 to $7.50, compared with the prior range of $8.00 to $8.25. Revenue guidance was reduced by roughly $1.0 billion to a midpoint of $34.5 billion. The company projects restructuring charges of $120 million and litigation-related costs totaling $85 million in the current year. Despite the conservative outlook, Honeywell reiterated its long-term target of mid-single-digit organic revenue growth and operating margins in the 18–20% range, supported by continued expansion of its automation and productivity solutions portfolio.
