Honeywell today announced the launch of an AI-enabled retail solution, developed in collaboration with Google Cloud and 66degrees, that leverages Google’s Gemini and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform to transform the in-store shopping experience for retailers worldwide.
The Smart Shopping Platform helps shoppers easily locate desired products, compare similar items and quickly find relevant substitutions when products are unavailable.
“There is nothing more frustrating than roaming through a store unable to find the last item on your grocery list or forgetting the key part needed to complete a home repair,” said David Barker, president, Honeywell Productivity Solutions and Services. ”The Smart Shopping Platform addresses these pain points, creating a better experience for shoppers. Retailers also benefit from an ’out of the box’ AI solution they can implement without having to maintain a team of AI experts.”
The Smart Shopping Platform is a cloud-based solution that creates a seamless connection between a retailer’s digital data and the physical store environment. Built on Honeywell’s Mobility Edge™ hardware and software platform and enabled by Google Cloud’s AI technologies.
“With Google Cloud’s AI, Honeywell devices become intelligent allies for both shoppers and associates,” said Jose Gomes, Vice President, Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods, Google Cloud. “This collaboration infuses AI into specialized hardware, streamlining store operations and guiding consumers through an efficient, enjoyable shopping journey. The result: retailers benefit from increased basket sizes and deeper customer loyalty.”
This launch is the result of the ongoing collaboration between Honeywell and Google Cloud to help advance computing across multiple industries. The Smart Shopping Platform will be available to customers beginning in February 2026.
