Honeywell has announced a global strategic partnership with LS ELECTRIC aimed at revolutionizing power management and distribution in data centers and large buildings. This collaboration intends to enhance operational efficiency, reliability, and sustainability, especially as energy consumption in data centers continues to rise.
The partnership will leverage LS ELECTRIC’s expertise in power infrastructure alongside Honeywell’s strengths in building automation and control technologies. Together, they will develop integrated solutions that allow operators to synchronize power distribution with wider building management systems. This alignment is expected to help data center and facility managers optimize energy usage, minimize outages, and ensure power loads are adjusted in real time according to operational demands.
Initial joint offerings will focus on integrated switchgear and power management systems designed specifically for data centers. These systems will ensure precise power control and uninterrupted power delivery for critical applications. Eventually, they aim to introduce advanced electrical power monitoring solutions utilizing Honeywell Forge—an AI-enabled industrial platform—coupled with LS ELECTRIC’s power system software. Utilizing artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, these solutions will proactively identify potential equipment issues before they lead to disruptions, thus reducing downtime and enhancing power quality in complex digital infrastructures.
Additionally, Honeywell and LS ELECTRIC will work on developing a new battery energy storage system (BESS) to create grid-aware microgrids for commercial and industrial buildings. This modular solution will combine LS ELECTRIC’s storage capabilities with Honeywell’s dynamic energy control software, allowing for accurate forecasting of energy demand and efficient management of grid stress based on real-time data from utilities, weather conditions, and operational requirements. These systems are expected to play a crucial role in bolstering resilience as data centers—already accounting for 1–2% of global electricity use—expand rapidly to cater to rising demands fueled by AI and cloud computing.
Billal Hammoud, President and CEO of Honeywell Building Automation, affirmed that this partnership reinforces Honeywell’s commitment to delivering "smarter, scalable solutions for the world’s most critical industries." JongWoo Kim, President of LS ELECTRIC Power Electric, echoed this sentiment, suggesting that the collaboration would facilitate the company’s global expansion while providing differentiated solutions that enable major tech data centers and large building operators to achieve both energy efficiency and reliability.
