Smart room control for hotels
SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC HAS launched its Connected Room Solutions for Hotels, the first offering of its kind in Australia to boost opera- tional and energy efficiencies while providing guests with smart, personalised and interactive room experiences.
Comprising a full suite of tools and technolo- gy, the new offering represents Schneider’s latest addition to its EcoStruxure range and is primar- ily targeted at high-end luxury hotels across the country.
Adopting a modular approach, Connected Room Solutions for Hotels afford individual room interfaces for temperature, lighting, bed- side panels, sensors, blind control and door lock integration, as well as a single point of in- tegration for other IoT devices in a room.
Gavin McClelland, marketing manager at Schneider Electric said taking a modular ap- proach allows hotels to select only the applica- tions they need, yet with great flexibility
for future expansion at a minimal cost. “The solutions will enable hoteliers to meet the changing needs of their guests, especially in
a post-pandemic world,” he said.
“We’re thrilled to introduce Connected Room
Solutions for Hotels to the Australian market, as it’s set to revolutionise the hotel experience for both hoteliers and guests.
“For hotel owners and operators, not only do the solutions drive efficiencies throughout the facility, but they are highly cost-effective and customisable for future needs; for hotel guests, they will be provided with a personalised room experience, boasting user-friendly interfaces and smart room control at their fingertips,” Mc- Clelland said.
“Hotels have been hit hard over the past two years. We are committed to helping our hotel customers welcome their guests back with a bet- ter, new experience.”
