Fujitsu announces partnership with Sensibo

Fujitsu General Australia and Fujitsu General New Zealand have partnered with Sensibo, a climate technology IoT company that develops smart AC and heat pump solutions using data and AI. 

Together, the companies will aim to strengthen Fujitsu General’s anywAiR technology product line-up through the integration of Sensibo’s technology. Sensibo’s suite of mobile smart AC functions include smart scheduling, geo-fencing, climate react and voice control via Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant. Customers will also be able to use Sensibo’s machine-learning algorithms to help them conserve energy and enjoy greater comfort and control.

Sensibo’s Operating System (OS) solution, which will be integrated into Fujitsu General’s air conditioners under the anywAiR technology brand, is an end-to-end smart HVAC solution. 

“The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) partnership between Fujitsu General and Sensibo is not only a major step for Fujitsu but also for the smart AC sector,” says Fujitsu General Head of Product ANZ Kyle Rafter. “We are excited to partner with Sensibo, a company that puts sustainability and technological innovation at the top of their agenda, which aligns with ours.”

Sensibo CEO and Co-founder Ran Roth says the partners are aiming to create an air conditioner that is different from anything else that exists on the market.

“We cannot wait to see how Sensibo’s OS will diversify Fujitsu’s product capabilities and create a huge leap toward the relationship between technology, energy management, and climate control,” says Roth.

“Smart air conditioners are the next innovation of the industry, with the potential to deliver a reduction in energy consumption and mitigate CO₂ emissions.  We are proud to partner with Fujitsu General to empower users to use their air conditioning unit more efficiently to contribute to protecting our planet.”
