Building technology as a single package

SWITZERLAND/KOREA: ABB building automation and control and Samsung’s HVAC solutions are now available from one provider.

A growing network of trained system integrators will make it simpler for building owners and investors to plan, install and run connected commercial buildings from one provider. 

The two companies maintain that commercial building projects often bring together many suppliers, each with its own systems, contracts and support. For owners and investors, this can add cost, time and risk. It can also make it harder to see how a building performs once it is running.

The participating system integrators are said to be trained on both the integrated ABB and Samsung solutions. They can design, install and set-up a complete packaged solution – from lighting, climate, shading, access control and energy metering to HVAC systems and digital displays.

Each solution is tailored to the building’s requirements and the owner’s preferences. As building, energy and property management platform, customers can choose ABB Ability BuildingPro or Samsung SmartThings Pro, according to their specific needs. The two platforms are connected through a secure cloud-to-cloud integration, enabling the exchange of building data and providing greater visibility into connected systems, energy performance and operational insights. 

The combined offering also includes ABB-free@home for smart home and building automation and ABB InSite for energy monitoring, with all room-level devices and sensors incl. the whole ABB KNX portfolio connected through BuildingPro Suites.
