What does the acquisition of Honeywell PSS mean?
The acquisition of Honeywell PSS by Brady is one of the most significant developments in the world of Auto-ID, warehouse automation, and supply chain technology in recent years.
Honeywell PSS is globally recognized for its solutions that support data collection and process optimization, including:
- Mobile computers
- Barcode scanners
- Label and industrial printers
- Voice picking solutions
- RFID technology
These solutions play a vital role in warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing environments, and transportation companies. They help organizations work faster, more efficiently, and with fewer errors.
Through this acquisition, Brady is adding these technologies to its existing portfolio of identification, safety, and labeling solutions. The result is a powerful combination of identification, data capture, and workflow automation technologies.
What does this mean for existing Honeywell customers?
The question we are currently asked most often is simple: will anything change for my existing Honeywell solutions?
Based on the information available today, we do not expect any immediate impact for organizations using Honeywell mobile computers, scanners, printers, or voice solutions in the short term.
Existing devices will continue to operate as normal, and ongoing projects can proceed without interruption. At the same time, we understand that customers have questions about future product development, support structures, and Brady’s long-term vision.
As a Honeywell Platinum Partner, we maintain close contact with the manufacturer and actively monitor all developments related to product lines, support services, and innovations.
