Hotel & Gastronomy

Comfort and well-being are the keywords of modern gastronomy. The owner can benefit from a simple operating concept, energy and consequently cost saving. automationNext solutions offer high comfort for the guest and enable significant power savings.

The system diagnosis delivers almost real time information on the system status. In case of faults, the technician is informed immediately – if needed, even if lamps fail in extra sensitive areas, like a suite. The multimedia function enables maximum comfort for the guest – and frequent guests can save their own profiles, which for example, can be combined with a bonus program.

Complex lighting requirements, the combination of movement detectors, time-controlled flows, preset light moods and manual control option, made the Alpenhotel Grüner the ideal field for NEXTengine, which excelled with high flexibility. By using NEXTengine an appreciable time and cost reduction could be achieved – with the help of the self-building visualization and uncomplicated commissioning (“Configure instead of program”).

Every signal lamp can be controlled with the Touch Panel (NEXTtouch) or PC so that different light moods and brightness levels can be created in different rooms (reception, restaurant, bar, corridors). Movement detectors and manual and time-controlled flows were integrated in the solution, conventional light switches were completely dispensed with in the automated zones.

With the NEXTmanager a distinct power saving was achieved, because with the combination of movement detectors and time control, one could achieve differing brightness levels in the day and at night, and unused areas could be switched off fully.
