Samsung Launches SmartThings Pro For Gulf’s B2B Sector

Samsung Gulf Electronics has introduced SmartThings Pro, an advanced smart technology platform designed to tackle the unique challenges faced by businesses operating in an extreme climate and fast-moving market. Expanding on the Korean tech giant’s existing smart home innovations, SmartThings Pro brings enhanced automation, efficiency, and intelligent management to commercial and public sector spaces.

Ayman Al Hamalawi, Director and Head of the Air Conditioning Division at Samsung Gulf Electronics, emphasized the platform’s impact: “SmartThings Pro represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of smart building management across the region. We have developed this platform with a deep understanding of the region’s specific challenges, particularly in managing cooling efficiency and energy consumption in our extreme climate. SmartThings Pro not only addresses these challenges head-on but also aligns with the ambitious sustainability goals and smart city initiatives of the GCC nations”.

Samsung is stepping up its game by offering enterprise-grade solutions to tackle the Gulf’s pressing concerns — rising temperatures, high energy consumption, and increasingly ambitious sustainability requirements. As global temperatures climb, businesses enter a frustrating cycle: increased cooling demands lead to higher energy use and therefore, greater carbon emissions.

SmartThings Pro counters this problem with an AI-powered HVAC management system, optimizing cooling performance while minimizing electricity consumption, especially during the region’s scorching summer months. The feature is known as “proactive loss detection and energy optimization” which offers detailed, location-based reports, enabling businesses to fine-tune their operations and cut unnecessary energy expenses.

It enables centralized management of air conditioning, humidity levels, lighting, security cameras, smart signage, temperature controls, and even televisions. Additionally, SmartThings Pro supports third-party devices such as locks, speakers, and sensors, offering a comprehensive automation solution.

Overall, SmartThings Pro represents a major leap forward in commercial IoT technology, offering Gulf enterprises a competitive edge through advanced automation and sustainability-focused solutions. By combining Samsung’s AI expertise with real-world business demands, it creates an adaptable ecosystem that evolves with company needs. Enterprise clients also gain access to customizable APIs for seamless integration, unlocking smarter resource management.
