ABB and Samsung to integrate building intelligence and IoT
10th June 2026
SWITZERLAND/SOUTH KOREA: ABB and Samsung Electronics have announced a move to integrate building intelligence with enterprise IoT to enable greater access to building data, insights and controls.
The initiative will involve integrating ABB’s Ability BuildingPro, a cybersecure digital platform and integration hub designed to manage and optimise commercial building operations, such as HVAC, lighting, energy, and IoT systems, and Samsung’s SmartThings Pro, an AI-powered, cloud-based IoT management platform designed specifically for businesses.
ABB Ability BuildingPro connects devices and data across building systems, enabling analytics and operational insights through ABB Ability BuildingPro Suites. Samsung SmartThings Pro brings these capabilities into the Samsung ecosystem via a secure cloud-to-cloud integration, allowing data to be shared between both platforms.
“Building owners require a data foundation they can trust and tools that make it easier to manage increasingly complex building portfolios,” explained Mike Mustapha, president of 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.”
Together, ABB Ability BuildingPro and Samsung SmartThings Pro are said to provide building operators with a unified view of lighting, climate, shading and access-control systems, alongside energy monitoring and presence detection data.
Building operators can access analytics and operational insights to better manage building performance across offices, retail locations and larger commercial buildings.
The ABB Ability BuildingPro and Samsung SmartThings Pro integration will be rolled out at three proof-of-concept sites throughout this year: 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 showcase how the integration can support energy efficiency, building performance and user experience in real-world settings.
