DUBAI: Honeywell (NYSE: HON), the global technology leader, will demonstrate advanced Internet of Things (IoT) software and hardware solutions for safer, more secure and more efficient smart cities at Intersec 2019, taking place January 20-22 at the Dubai World Trade Center (DWTC). 

With annual spending on smart city technologies within the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region expected to double from $1.3 billion to $2.7 billion over the next four years,[1] Honeywell will showcase a range of integrated technologies to help cities proactively prevent crime, detect fires and security threats, facilitate waste management, and implement smart parking systems. The Company will also show command and control, fire safety and security platforms designed for use by the region’s industrial, retail, banking and healthcare sectors.

Norm Gilsdorf, president, Honeywell, High Growth Regions, Middle East, Russia & CIS, commented: “Honeywell’s software, hardware and data analytics capabilities are helping to shape the development of smart cities in the Middle East and around the world. By leveraging the power of IoT and data-driven insights, we’re helping tackle an array of challenges. From traffic management and crowd monitoring, to pedestrian safety and various other security concerns, many issues can now be addressed quickly thanks to new levels of connectivity that are helping increase the quality of life for residents and facilitate economic growth.”

Research shows cities that deploy a range of security data-driven applications to their maximum effect can reduce fatalities from homicide, road traffic, and fires by eight to 10 percent.[2] Honeywell has a proven track record deploying smart city and city-wide surveillance solutions globally, including video management and facial recognition technologies that can check an individual’s face against designated watch lists. Other capabilities include systems to detect traffic congestion, capture the registration number of vehicles from video footage to help locate lost, abandoned or stolen vehicles, and CCTV analytics platforms with object detection technology to monitor crowds and trigger automated alarms in emergency situations.
