ABB Ability™ BuildingPro and Samsung SmartThings Pro integration ABB and Samsung Electronics have announced a new integration partnership be-tween ABB Ability™ BuildingPro and Samsung SmartThings Pro, which enables build-ing owners and operators to access building data, insights and controls through a more connected environment.
Suites, operators can access analytics and operational insights to better manage building performance across offices, retail locations and larger commercial buildings. In hospitality environments, a dedicated solution based on ABB i-bus ® KNX and NETxAutomation soft - ware supports guest room integration with Samsung SmartThings Pro. The integration supports occupancy-based energy manage- ment and centralised monitoring, helping hotel operators reduce energy consumption and improve operational efficiency. The so - lution also facilitates a phased deployment, allowing customers to pilot the technology in a single area before scaling across a property or wider building portfolio. For guests, the integration allows them to adjust lighting, climate, shading and entertain- ment via Samsung SmartThings Pro on their smartphones. Guests can also personalise their room environment throughout their stay without downloading an additional app. The ABB Ability™ BuildingPro and Samsung SmartThings Pro integration will be rolled out at three proof-of-concept sites throughout 2026: Samsung's Business Experience Centre in Eschborn, Germany; Samsung's Training Centre in Amsterdam, Netherlands; and ABB's headquarters in Middelfart, Denmark. The sites will show- case how the integration can support energy efficiency, building performance and user experience in real-world settings. ABB and Samsung are laying the founda- tion for a new generation of commercial build- ings in which building operations and user experience are no longer separate systems but part of a single, connected experience. https://new.abb.com/africa
The hospitality area at the Samsung Business Experience Centre in Frankfurt, Germany, is one of three proof-of-concept sites for the integration of ABB Ability™ BuildingPro and Samsung SmartThings Pro.
B uilding owners and operators are managing increasingly complex property portfolios while facing growing pressure to improve ef- ficiency and meet sustainability goals. ABB and Samsung are directly addressing that challenge by connecting their respective building intelligence and enterprise IoT plat- forms, providing greater visibility into build- ing performance through a familiar digital environment. ABB Ability™ BuildingPro connects devic- es and data across building systems, enabling analytics and opera-tional insights through ABB Ability™ BuildingPro Suites. Samsung SmartThings Pro brings these capabilities to the Samsung ecosystem via secure cloud-to- cloud integration, enabling data to be shared between the two platforms. “Building owners require a data founda- tion they can trust and tools that make it easier to manage increasing-ly complex building portfolios,” said Mike Mustapha,
Division President, ABB Electrification’s Smart Buildings Division. “By integrating ABB Ability™ BuildingPro with Samsung SmartThings Pro, we are helping owners and operators access the insights they need to make more informed decisions across their buildings.” “Samsung SmartThings Pro gives enter- prise customers a familiar platform to manage and maximise their buildings and assets,” said Chan-Woo Park, Executive Vice President, Samsung Electronics Device eXperience Division. “Combined with ABB Ability™ BuildingPro, customers can access building information and controls through a connected experience that helps simplify day-to-day building management.” Together, ABB Ability™ BuildingPro and Samsung SmartThings Pro provide building operators with a unified view of lighting, climate, shading and access control systems, alongside energy monitoring and presence de- tection data.
