Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

Well they just bought Scadafence, it will be interesting to see how fast they destroy that business . A lot of competition in that space too so no mercy.

Maybe this could be an investing strategy. When Honeywell buys a company, invest in the bought company's competitors? It might take a few years, but the returns should be good. They have been so far.

Dematic thanks you for the business.

Some of us are very busy in Intelligrated, in a normal environment we'd be able to hire but now we're scrambling to get the work done. I'd take a severance package happily at this point.

I guess it going to be a tough 6-12 months for all who are still in the company

Who do you think had Intelligrated in his business? Our favorite boy JW! He destroyed it. But, oh no! Nobody wants to discuss that! Give him a fat bonus and fire everybody else who called him out!

Honeywell looks to be a destroyer more than a developer. Managers that I have known have described being screamed at and having been given completely impossible metrics to meet. Needless to say, the good ones are gone. I hate to think how Honeywell is willing to forsake our longtime customers for the pursuit of a little money. Honeywell is definitely not a long term company for customers nor employees. All of Honeywell's word are worthless lies. Only meant to lead to greater executive compensation. Really sad that they are destroying established companies that we all have worked and sacrificed for. There will never be a piece of Honeywell cr-p in my life going forward.

Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed, most peculiar, mama

Trew was started by a group of Intelligrated folks who saw what Honeywell was trying to do and setup camp elsewhere. Over the years since 2019 they've pulled and poached many of the dissatisfied remaining Intelligrated employees in an attempt to regain and retain IP.

I do agree that a lot of the Intelligrated legacy executives who remained during 2019 and 2020 got high on Amazon's massive projects and deep pockets. They took advantage of them and pushed the limits on what they could get away with in terms of nickel and diming their customers. Once the cash stopped flowing and the customers got savvy on Honeywell's greed, they cut them off and claimed "economic uncertainty". The BS "Harvard model" pushed by sales was their ultimate downfall. They did not diversify their customer base and didn't put enough emphasis on product development and NPI.

It’s also isnt like the leadership that remained from intelligrated post the acquisitions was the smartest bunch

They agreed with Honeywell leadership or did their own BS and ruined the existing systems as well

"Question is, who would buy such degraded business?" How about Trew? Then the cycle continues.

It was pretty obvious from the early days of the Intelligrated acquisition that Honeywell didn't know what they were doing. You would think that their intention all along was to destroy the business. This, of course, makes no sense but here we are. My emancipation was just over 2 years ago. 3 years working in that insanity was all I could take.

The only way to save Intelligrated is to be spun off and removed from the incompetence of Honeywell leadership. It would take years to rebuild the brand and customer base and it may merge with a competitor, but there is still a chance for it to be saved. Being bought by Honeywell was honestly one of the worst things that happened to Intelligrated. They were promised they would could be more autonomous and left mostly alone, but that went out the window shortly into 2018.

Honeywell leadership knew nothing about material handling and they still don't. They saw Amazon as a customer and saw $🤑$. They have applied tactics and methods that simply don't align with the material handling industries' modes of operation. Conveyor isn't a product you can sell to a customer at a store, it's an entire system which requires multiple levels of coordination and development to get right.

Honeywell will lose big on their investment with Intelligrated. They played around and broke things. Now they will reap what they sow.

"rumors about Intelligrated being sold"

Question is, who would buy such degraded bussiness? There is nothing special in portfolio that competitors lack. Conveyor marked declined in general. And with various R&D cuts there are no new products available to provide some bussiness advantage.

Amazon are employing engineers in Tennessee and soon NC for design and development of their systems should anybody be interest in jumping to a ship that is not sinking.
Look up Sr.Industrial Design Engineer, NASC Engineering on either thier site or Linkedin.

Hopefully the rumors about Intelligrated being sold are true.

There was one year aero tried firing all the sales people. It was a disaster and the impact to customer relations echoes to this day.
Don’t be surprised if Honeywell tries the same d-mb thing at intelligrated. Who needs sales people if they don’t produce?
