For architects & project designers

Smarteh hotel automation system is supporting various wired and wireless standard communications like Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP, Ethernet BACnet, Modbus RTU, CANopen, EnOcean, Infrared IR, etc.

Communication usage examples:

• Ethernet BACnet for communication between hotel automation and supervision systems.
• Wifi for hotel guests to control hotel room parameters with mobile devices.
• EnOcean for interfacing EnOcean wireless devices as sensors, actuators, etc. into the automation system
• Infrared IR interface to control various types of IR controlled devices as air conditioning units etc.

Wired and wireless concepts can be combined to optimize technical and functional demands.

There are no restrictions in terms of the choice of switches, sockets and push buttons; customers can choose the ones they like. System is based on concept of classic automation and can be electrically connected to peripheral elements (buttons, lighting, etc.) with the use of standard electrical signals.

Peripheral elements use the same concept as standard electrical installations. Electromagnetic radiation is minimal due to the use of a classic approach to automation. All switches are connected with low-voltage signals.

There is a possibility of changing the system from standard wiring to automated system as the peripheral elements can remain the same or at least they are similar. Maintenance of our system and periphery usually does not require an expert which makes it less expensive (less labour and material costs).

A hotel comprises of many different spaces with diverse usage. Smarteh hotel automation solution offers outstanding options for assuring energy efficient and environmentally friendly operation at receptions, in public areas, seminar rooms, conference centers, health and fitness areas, restaurants, kitchens, service areas, outdoor facilities and above all guest rooms.

In accordance to the European standard EN 15232 the potential savings for thermal and electrical energy can be calculated for each class based on the building type and building purpose.
For example, by using Building Automation and Control System (BACS) class A, so comprehensive building automation inclusive network and BMS, up to 30% of the thermal energy can be saved.

Smarteh room control philosophy is based on a freely programmable, modular PLC controller. With this approach, any hotel room system can easily and effectively be automatized.

The size and complexity of the room are not a problem, depending on the number of functions and electrical inputs and outputs it is easy to select the optimal combination of controller modules.

While all hotel automation systems are connected to one network, are using equal Smarteh building automation equipment and are supervised by a common supervision system, it is easier and much cheaper when it comes to maintenance during the operation of the hotel.

Due to the above advantage, the Smarteh hotel automation system is enabling the use of unified spare parts for the entire building.

The access system is one of the top priority security segments in hotels and other business buildings. Implementing an online network controlled locking system, the user or guest will feel safe and comfortable and the hotel management will have an online powerful tool for complete supervision over the access in the hotel.

Smarteh Access Manager (SAM) is usually running on PC in reception and can operate as stan-alone or in conjunction with Building Management System (BMS) software. USB Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) contactless card reader for key-card assignment is attached. PC with installed SAM is connected to the network and forward to Smarteh controllers in hotel rooms and other access points. So access to hotel rooms, halls, swimming pools, etc. can be controlled.
The online concept enables real-time features as online key-card access assignment, online monitoring and logging of all access events.

Smarteh hotel automation system and particularity GRMS part is connected with Hotel Management System (HMS). HMS is powerful software application that performs essential financial and organizational functions for hotels, motels and other forms of lodging. These functions include reservations, employee scheduling, accounting, property/maintenance management and customer relationship management.

Smarteh Fidelio interface based on FIAS protocol and certified by MICROS-Fidelio corporation is a software application typically used as interface between the HMS and the Smarteh hotel automation system.

In case that the HMS of the hotel is not supporting the FIAS protocol at all, the interfacing between the HMS and the Smarteh hotel automation system can be done by using the SQL or similar database.

Granlund Manager combines energy efficiency and building maintenance in a unique way. It consolidates data from different energy sources into easy understandable statistics, producing important information for energy follow-up. External energy data can either be read manually or automatically imported from different sources, such as BMS systems.

Granlund Manager not only consolidates and reports energy information, it also translates building data into easy understandable energy performance and indoor conditions KPIs. By following real-time building performance with predefined targets, optimal energy usage for the building can be achieved. Granlund Manager also makes it easy to identify, resolve and follow-up deviations, such as system failures or peaks in energy consumption.
