Honeywell - banned for life over customer firewall
mawyatt:
Think the pre Allied Signal merger/acquisition Honeywell was more customer focused, after the merger they drifted into the Wall St mentality of damn the customers/employees, maximize the bottom line!! This bodes well with executives as they host a major investment portfolio in the bottom line influenced stock price. We saw some of this coming before the acquisition after 20 years at Honeywell and the CTO stating "I see no value whatsoever is Silicon Wireless Technology" (which arguably was invented at Honeywell in 1989), that alone convinced us to leave just before the acquisition/merger was announced.
Another well known, highly respected technology company falling to Wall St mentality just like HP, Tek and so on. This is the fundamental reason for US technology leadership erosion!! Easy to blame Wall St, or company executives, but the real root cause is us, the share holders demanding short term value!!
Best,

give the investors a insane promise or YOUR FIRED!!!!
IMO the problem is leadership. And probobly a deep state within companies that prevents actual changes by new management.
This happens when someone wants to downsize when something good is invented. Everyone here is probobly damned to a lesser fate then they deserve because of IP sales that turned out to be hot shit.
I bet at honeywell someone was like "well we need to hire a few RF engineers and stuff to get this technology going" and at the same time someone was dead set on reaching some dollar value 'goal' so it was deemed not viable... but I bet the money was in the coffers the whole time!
bill gates and apple prove this.... xerox research lab is probobly the biggest IP fuckup in history for PC peripherals/interface technology I think. at least if that movie is right lol

read the legacy section :-DD
is microsoft actually decent at customer relations? their windows trouble shooting online database thing is actually impressive and it lets you fix most problems. Not as good as MAN pages, but it pretty good. And at least TI and tektronix run their little forums. A bit weak but its half decent IMO. I got some answers there before about IC's.
but stuff like honeywell? JFC forget about it. they even have their own undocumented electrical language for hooking up the most simple devices. Its not in industrial electronics or standard electronics or even alarm systems. IDK wtf that shit is !!! HVAC/BOILER/FURNACE things are awful!! I took apart some little thermostat thing and it was word salad in there man. Is it a dry contact? a triac output? DC? who the fuck knows! I swear it said some random ass shit on a screw terminal, wish I could remember it. Probably "pipe" and "WA".

Thanks, Coppercone2, for using that term;
'Open Loop'.
In medical systems (HMO), it's become clear that similar lack of negative feedback gets a kind of 'drift', that is cause of dysfunction and headed into worse territory, blindly.
You're getting similar statements or declarations of, well, how good they are.
Try mention those shortcomings and you don't seem to get anywhere. I think in the medical stuff the term used is 'waste and fraud' but there is similar 'waste' in a big company, like you say.
coppercone2:
well you get some where, that is UP, because of how successful it is, without the negative feedback. ;D
right to the god damn top. at least if there is alot of morons around

Correct and that is what I eventually found. But it isn't referenced in the device datasheet. TI puts all the info in one place and despite the occasional bug, their datasheets are superior in almost every way to anything from Dunnywell. If you find the 3D model for this part on their "information superhighway", you are a lot more resourceful than I will ever be.

I have designed in a similar sensor from Honeywell a couple of years ago and I do have the 3D model. Likely I used the link on Mouser which is dead now.
