Honeywell has announced a global strategic collaboration with LS ELECTRIC to jointly develop and market cutting-edge hardware and software solutions that will simplify power management and distribution for data centers and commercial buildings, helping operators improve efficiency, reliability, and resilience.
The partnership brings together LS ELECTRIC’s expertise in power systems with Honeywell’s leadership in building automation and controls, enabling seamless integration between critical power distribution and broader building management functions. This synergy will allow data center operators to better align electrical load with capacity, enhancing operational resiliency.
The collaboration will begin with integrated switchgear and power management systems for data centers, enabling uninterrupted power distribution to critical systems. Both companies also plan to develop next-generation electrical power monitoring systems powered by Honeywell Forge’s AI-driven analytics and LS ELECTRIC’s software capabilities, designed to intelligently regulate energy consumption and predict maintenance needs before issues occur.
Expanding beyond data centers, Honeywell and LS ELECTRIC will co-develop a grid- and building-aware Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) tailored for commercial and industrial facilities. The modular microgrid solution will combine LS ELECTRIC’s energy storage technology with Honeywell’s dynamic energy control software to forecast optimal energy sources and costs using real-time data, weather insights, and utility analytics.
With data centers already consuming 1–2% of global electricity, the collaboration aims to help operators optimize energy use and storage through smarter automation and integrated infrastructure. Our collaboration with LS ELECTRIC supports our continued focus on delivering smarter, scalable solutions for the world’s most critical industries,” said Billal Hammoud, President and CEO of Honeywell Building Automation. “Together, we’re unlocking possibilities that will help customers stay ahead in a landscape being rapidly reshaped by AI.
Echoing this sentiment, JongWoo Kim, President of LS ELECTRIC Power Electric, added, Through our collaboration with Honeywell, we will deliver differentiated solutions that enable data centers and large building operators to achieve both energy efficiency and reliability.
The partnership reinforces Honeywell’s position as a one-stop provider for automation controls, power systems, and intelligent energy solutions, supporting the global transition toward smarter, sustainable infrastructure.
