Samsung, Legrand partner to develop hotel room management system

Samsung Electronics has partnered with French industrial group Legrand to develop a new hotel room management system.

The hotel management system will feature new user interfaces making it easier and comfortable for use by hotel guests.

The new solution will be built on Samsung’s LYNK hospitality management solution (HMS) and leverage the expertise of Legrand in electrical equipment.

It will allow hotel guests to manage their room’s light settings, temperature and opening of doors, right from their TV set.

In the future, the solution will have features to allow communication between hotel guests and services, such as concierges, taxi reservation, and audio-visual support.

Samsung LYNK SINC is an embedded, IP-based content management solution to deliver in-room content through IP networks.

The South Korean company also offer specially designed Samsung TV sets, which give users complete control over room’s conditions.

It can be customised for automatically informing hotel staff about guest departure, and facilitating reception to monitor real-time room availability. The process leads to faster check-in and out, improving guest satisfaction.

With the collaboration, the companies will strengthen the interoperability of their technologies, which will help them in the development of smart building systems.

Legrand had launched its Eliot programme to develop connected and interoperable solutions with Internet of Things (IoT) technology.

In June 2015, Samsung had signed a partnership with intelligent energy management company Telkonet to offer multi-tiered LYNK SINC 3.0 with HMS solution hotel owners to improve guest experience.
