HONEYWELL AND TOTALENERGIES PILOT AI-ASSISTED CONTROL ROOM TO ACCELERATE SHIFT TO INDUSTRIAL AUTONOMY

Rhea-AI Summary

Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) on Nov 11, 2025 announced a collaboration with TotalEnergies to pilot its AI-assisted Experion Operations Assistant at TotalEnergies' Port Arthur Refinery in Texas.

The pilot, deployed at the Port Arthur Delayed Coking Unit (DCU), produced preliminary results that forecasted five potential events and issued predictions an average of 12 minutes before alarm incidents, helping operators reduce downtime and lower emissions from flaring. The solution integrates operational analytics with real-time predictive insights to support control-room decision making and advance operational autonomy.

Positive

• Forecasted 5 potential events during the pilot
• Predictions arrived an average of 12 minutes before alarm incidents
• Helped minimize downtime at the Delayed Coking Unit
• Contributed to reduced emissions from flaring during pilot

Negative

• Pilot is ongoing and results are preliminary, not final
• Deployment so far is limited to the Port Arthur Delayed Coking Unit, not sitewide

Honeywell Experion Operations Assistant allows operators at TotalEnergies Port Arthur Refinery to make quicker and more informed decisions that help optimize production

HOUSTON, Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) today announced a collaboration with TotalEnergies for the ongoing pilot of its AI-assisted Experion Operations Assistant at TotalEnergies' Port Arthur Refinery in Texas. The initiative aims to support and empower operators to make timely and informed decisions while also providing the opportunity to enhance operational autonomy.

Built on Honeywell's flagship distributed control system, Experion Operations Assistant is an advanced AI-powered solution designed to transform the way operators monitor plant operations from the control room. By merging operational analytics with real real-time predictive insights, the solution facilitates a more efficient workflow within critical refinery operations. With the integration of this new solution, operators in the control room can forecast potential maintenance events before they happen and minimize risks associated with unsafe operations and production losses.

"Partnering with Honeywell at our Port Arthur Refinery represents an important step in our journey toward operational excellence across our facility," said Raphael Duflos, VP and General Manager of TotalEnergies' Port Arthur Platform. "We believe this solution could contribute to safer operations, reduced downtime, and minimized product losses."

TotalEnergies has already implemented an initial pilot of Experion Operations Assistant at the Port Arthur site's Delayed Coking Unit (DCU). Preliminary results show the AI-assisted solution has successfully forecasted five potential events, helping to minimize downtime and reduce emissions from flaring. The predictions were made an average of 12 minutes in advance of an alarm incident, enabling operators to quickly implement corrective actions before an event.

"Honeywell's decades of domain expertise and industry knowledge are helping to solve our customers' toughest challenges with tangible solutions like Experion Operations Assistant," said Jim Masso, President and CEO of Honeywell Process Solutions. "This pilot with TotalEnergies will mark a meaningful milestone for bridging the gap between autonomous technology and the operators that keep these facilities running safely and efficiently every day."

Located in Southeast Texas near the Gulf Coast, TotalEnergies' Port Arthur Platform refines crude oil into transportation fuels and produces petrochemicals used in a wide range of products like plastics, rubber, and pharmaceuticals. The pilot is a successful collaboration between Honeywell, TotalEnergies' Port Arthur platform and its technology headquarter branch OneTech.
