LS ELECTRIC (010120.KS) is accelerating its push into the ASEAN market, using Vietnam, where power demand is surging, as a bridgehead.
LS ELECTRIC said on the 9th that it will participate in 'ELECS Vietnam 2026,' to be held from the 15th to the 17th at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. In an exhibition space of 144 square meters, the largest among participating companies, the company will set up four zones — AI data center, digital transformation (DX), smart power management, and smart factory — under the theme "Vietnam's Future Built With LS ELECTRIC's AI-Based Integrated Solutions."
LS ELECTRIC plans to showcase total power solutions spanning ultra-high voltage to low voltage alongside automation technologies in one place, highlighting its integrated solution capabilities aimed at the rapidly growing ASEAN power infrastructure market.
In the 'AI Data Center' zone, the company will introduce stable and efficient power infrastructure solutions that can respond to surging data processing demand and the growth of the AI industry, in line with Vietnam's national policy of actively attracting advanced IT infrastructure.
LS ELECTRIC's high-capacity remote power panels and uninterruptible transfer switches deliver large-scale power stably to servers within data centers. Even when power anomalies occur, they enable seamless switching between utility power and emergency power, realizing a '24-hour non-stop operation' environment.
In the 'Digital Transformation (DX)' zone, the company will exhibit 'K-EMS 2.0,' a next-generation AI-based national power grid operation platform, tailored to the ASEAN market where power grid investment is expanding on the back of sustained economic growth and the relocation of global companies' production bases.
K-EMS 2.0 is a national-level integrated power grid control platform that LS ELECTRIC became the fifth in the world to successfully develop independently. It can dramatically reduce operating costs by optimizing generation control, and can preemptively predict grid conditions by fundamentally blocking the risk of large-scale blackouts through precise real-time stability analysis.
In the 'Smart Power Management' zone, the company will display core transmission and distribution solutions, including transformers, switchgear, and circuit breakers, for stable power supply at Vietnamese industrial sites. It will also introduce its capabilities for future power grids through energy storage system (ESS)-based solutions that support improved power quality and renewable energy integration.
In the 'Smart Factory' zone, LS ELECTRIC will unveil digital manufacturing innovation technologies optimized for the industrial environments of ASEAN countries, including Vietnam, which is emerging as a manufacturing powerhouse. These include SMI (Smart Management Insight), a digital twin-based factory operation system developed in-house, and G-Hub, an edge computing solution capable of collecting, storing, processing, and controlling equipment data.
"ASEAN is a strategic market where data center investment, manufacturing growth, and the energy transition are proceeding simultaneously, and where investment in next-generation power infrastructure is taking off in earnest," an LS ELECTRIC official said. "Through this exhibition, we will actively promote to local customers the power and automation technologies we have accumulated over more than 50 years, along with our AI-based integrated solutions, and contribute to building stable power grids and sustainable industrial development in ASEAN."
