The collaboration will enable Samsung and ABB to expand customer access to home automation technologies and better device management
ABB and Samsung Electronics will collaborate in a global partnership to provide jointly developed technologies for energy savings, energy management, and the smart Internet of Things (IoT) connection of both residential and commercial buildings. The partnership between the two companies will create a platform to build a long-term relationship for innovation in smart technology, smart control, and smart devices.
“We imagine a future where our customers can benefit from significant carbon and energy savings by further improving access to fully integrated and holistic, smart building technology. Partnering with a major technology innovation leader like Samsung Electronics further supports ABB’s vision and offering to connect whole buildings with open and agnostic solutions, and to deliver insights on total energy consumption, including elements such as an electric vehicle (EV) charging. This not only minimises the carbon footprint from the built environment but delivers a seamless and engaging user experience,” said Mike Mustapha, President, ABB Smart Buildings.
The collaboration will enable Samsung and ABB to expand customer access to home automation technologies and better device management while facilitating electricity load shifting. These smart homes use connected devices and appliances integrated through a centralised system to save money, time, and energy.
By connecting the Samsung SmartThings application and ABB home automation solutions, residents will be able to use their personal devices to monitor and manage a full spectrum of white goods, as well as gas and smoke sensors, energy, security, and comfort systems from a single application.
