Sine's technologies will support a cloud-based mobile platform for Honeywell Forge, Honeywell's enterprise performance management offering, and Sine's software will augment Honeywell's Connected Buildings offerings with expanded safety, security and compliance capabilities.

Honeywell will also expand on Sine's features and solutions and make Sine's offerings available to more customers, globally.

"Sine's innovative and intuitive self-service software, combined with Honeywell Forge, will enable our customers to return to work and help keep their employees and customers safe," said Que Dallara, president and CEO, Honeywell Connected Enterprise.
