Honeywell and LG CNS focus on automation and intelligence
LG CNS is becoming an official Honeywell AI and IT service partner to focus on so-called AX technologies covering factory automation and intelligence. The company stated it is the first South Korean business to tie-up with the US giant.
The collaboration is set to pair LG CNS' expertise in AX consulting and service creation with Honeywell's knowledge of producing sensors and control equipment. The companies intend to develop a multi-sector manufacturing execution system (MES) to manage facilities, processes and personnel in real time.
There are also plans to explore fresh fields in production and logistics based on a programme LG CNS is engaged in with customers in its domestic market. It mentioned an agentic AI set-up which is used to assess factory plans for risks.
LG CNS and Honeywell intend to sell their AX technology globally using the US company's base of more than 100 large customers. But LG CNS president and CEO Hyun Shin-kyun emphasised the initial focus is on breaking the US market, saying the collaboration 'is the first step for both companies to think together and seek technological solutions' for manufacturers in the country.

Marsh: Cyber resilience essential as UAE's data center ambitions accelerate
Dubai – As the UAE moves to expand its role as a global hub for artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure, Marsh, the world's leading insurance broker and risk advisor and a business of Marsh McLennan (NYSE:MMC), is encouraging organizations to strengthen their cyber resilience strategies in line with the country's ambitions. While the demand for AI-ready data infrastructure is growing rapidly, the associated exposure is also expanding – from business interruption and data loss to regulatory and reputational consequences. At the same time, the uptake of cyber insurance and structured risk analysis across the UAE remains relatively limited compared to more mature markets. Simon Bell, Cyber Practice Leader at Marsh UAE, said: 'The UAE is making remarkable progress in establishing itself as a leader in data and AI infrastructure. As this ecosystem expands, we're seeing greater interest in cyber resilience across the board. Many organizations are now looking more closely at how to evaluate and manage their exposure – particularly in light of growing third-party dependencies and increasingly sophisticated threat actors. With favorable market conditions – cyber insurance rates in the UAE have decreased by 20 percent over the past 12 months – and more tools available than ever, this is an opportune time to take stock and plan ahead.' To support organizations in navigating this evolving landscape, Marsh has announced the launch of its Data Centre Insurance and Risk Management Services. Designed to address the unique challenges faced by data centre operators and related sectors, including construction, real estate and technology, the new service provides risk management and insurance solutions for clients globally throughout the lifecycle of data centre operations, to safeguard critical assets. The global data centre market is forecast to grow from $328 billion in 2023 to $792 billion by 2032 [1], driven by demand for high-performance computing, cloud storage, and AI deployment. In the Middle East, this growth is matched by increasing regulatory maturity – with data protection laws now in place across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and other GCC markets. However, experts note that compliance alone is not enough to address the full spectrum of digital risk. About Marsh Marsh, a business of Marsh McLennan (NYSE: MMC), is the world's top insurance broker and risk advisor. Marsh McLennan is a global leader in risk, strategy and people, advising clients in 130 countries across four businesses: Marsh, Guy Carpenter, Mercer and Oliver Wyman. With annual revenue of over $24 billion and more than 90,000 colleagues, Marsh McLennan helps build the confidence to thrive through the power of perspective.
