The hoteliers have surely faced a backlash due to the pandemic which hit the globe, but they have been successful in devising ways through which they can increase their operational efficiency and stability in the business, and the only way to do that is to choose automation of the hotel industry. This will not only reduce the operational costs that are being incurred by the hotels but would provide a better experience for the guests as well.
Automation in the hotel industry can bring more control into the hands of the hotel owner themselves, as the hotels can process contactless check-in and checkout, which implies that there is no hassle to keep up with the management of front desk systems. There is an installation of smart app control systems for lighting, blinds, AC, heating, and all other in-stay technology that would not only reduce the manpower required for operation but would also keep the energy costs at a minimum.
With regards to the guests, the hotels are equipped with digital service requests such as housekeeping services, do not disturb, laundry services, and maintenance services, along with automated notification systems so that the staff is instantly notified of the services that are being used by the guests in the hotel. This hotel automation system integrates with the PMS systems that connect all parties, such as owners, guests, maintenance staff, customer service portals, housekeeping staff, and all other related functionaries, and keeps them integrated into one resource.
The automation industry has boomed in the Middle East, and thus the hotel industry is not left behind in any way. Vacker UAE is one of the foremost companies in the building automation industry in the UAE which provides systems for commercial, industrial, and residential buildings. These building management systems implement the automation technique which helps focus on the right kind of systems and devices while installing and building a successful automation system. Centralized control systems are built in a way that helps in increasing the comfort level for the guests and also increases the efficiency of the building systems. Connecting to one monitor allows them to keep track of all the occurrences from a distant source. The hotel industry usually implements different sets of protocols such as BACnet, KNX, Lonworks, Modbus, and a few others as well, which simplifies the process of managing an automated building system.
Software specifically built to develop building automation mechanisms is distinct from other systems providing automation services as they are required to focus on the aspect of customer satisfaction. Thus, the architecture should be done in a manner that would help in building comfortable spaces for the guests and also provide solutions to it so that its parameters are fulfilled. It is also to be considered that the hoteliers get the best customer service for the automation system installed, as that would in turn be beneficial to the guests who are coming into the hotels. The hotels also have an equal responsibility to select the best service providers that would create, design, and install an automation system that would be best suited to them.
