Posted by Hyderabad: Cyient has partnered with Honeywell to manufacture the first cloud-connected cockpit system called the Honeywell Anthem. Under the partnership, Cyient and Honeywell have signed a multi-year deal for the manufacturing of the aviation industry’s first cloud-connected cockpit system.
The Honeywell Anthem flight deck will have high levels of connectivity with an intuitive interface and a highly scalable and customisable design. A software platform will support this modifiable cockpit system to suit every type of aircraft, including passenger and cargo planes, business jets, helicopters, general aviation planes and the fast-developing class of advanced air-mobility (AAM) vehicles.
As part of the deal, Cyient will provide turnkey manufacturing and testing of multiple LRUs that comprise the Honeywell Anthem avionics suite. Honeywell will obtain predictable delivery schedules and continuous quality improvement over the program’s life by leveraging Cyient’s supply chain management technologies and Industry 4.0 linked plants.
Cyient will also provide new product introduction manufacturing of initial builds and is currently ramping low-rate production orders to support demand in 2022.
“We are delighted to collaborate with Honeywell to build Honeywell Anthem, which will transform the future of aviation. This is a testament to the value we create as strategic partners for our customers in the Aerospace and Defense sector with our cutting-edge Design-led Manufacturing (DLM) powered by technology,” Cyient’s ED and COO, Karthikeyan Natarajan commented on Cyient and Honeywell partnership.
“We look forward to leveraging our expertise to deliver efficiency, productivity, and innovation to Honeywell for years to come,” added Natarajan.
“Honeywell Anthem is at the forefront of those efforts. We are excited to work with Cyient on the industrialisation of Honeywell Anthem with superior delivery, quality, and reliable performance for our customers,” said Vipul Gupta, VP and GM of Avionics, Honeywell Aerospace.
