SAMMi-AI Wins 2026 AHR Innovation Award — Redefining HVAC/R Reliability
The future of HVAC/R service has arrived — and it just earned top honors. SAMMi-AI, developed by CSG Compressors, has been named a winner of the 2026 AHR Expo Innovation Award in the Tools & Instruments category. This award recognizes SAMMi’s breakthrough approach to predictive maintenance and autonomous dispatch, a true leap beyond traditional monitoring.

A New Era in Predictive Maintenance
For decades, monitoring systems in HVAC/R have focused only on detection — sending alerts after a problem occurs. Those alerts often come too late, causing equipment downtime, energy waste, and costly repairs.
SAMMi-AI (Systematic Autonomous Management & Monitoring Intelligence) changes that. Using AI-powered compressor monitoring, SAMMi continuously evaluates system performance, predicts issues before they happen, and automatically deploys service. It’s the next generation of predictive maintenance for HVAC — turning alerts into action.

What Sets SAMMi Apart
Most “smart” HVAC systems stop at notifications. SAMMi doesn’t just think — it acts.
By pairing predictive analytics with autonomous service dispatch, SAMMi bridges the gap between detection and response, ensuring real-time reliability for every compressor and system it monitors.
That’s why the AHR Expo, ASHRAE, and AHRI honored SAMMi-AI with one of the year’s most prestigious HVAC technology innovation awards.
Built on a secure edge-plus-cloud architecture, SAMMi processes data locally for instant decisions, while cloud integration powers analytics and performance reports. Installation is quick — usually under 30 minutes — making SAMMi ideal for retrofit HVAC systems, supermarkets, cold-storage facilities, and multi-site commercial operations where uptime is critical.

Backed by CSG’s Proven Compressor Expertise
Behind SAMMi is CSG Compressors, a national leader in remanufactured HVAC compressors — including scroll, screw, and semi-hermetic models. From Houston to Phoenix, Miami, and Dayton, CSG provides next-day shipping nationwide and supports every compressor with precision testing on proprietary load-test chillers.
This mechanical foundation fuels SAMMi’s intelligence — combining real-world reliability with cutting-edge automation to create a connected ecosystem that’s built, tested, and trusted.

An Award That Signals Industry Transformation
The AHR Innovation Award recognizes products that push the HVAC/R industry forward. For CSG and SAMMi, the honor represents more than innovation — it’s proof that AI in HVAC has moved from concept to field reality.
