Rümlang ZH – Dormakaba has launched the MotionIQ intelligent door system. When opening and closing, it takes into account the individual opening time and the individual duration of the door opening. The process saves energy, contributes to greater safety and improves barrier-free access.
Dormakaba is positioning itself more broadly with an innovation in the areas of energy-efficient buildings and secure operating processes. The global locking technology company from Rümlang has launched an automatic door system called MotionIQ, which, according to a press release, offers building operators a strategic advantage.
The energy balance of the building could be improved and operating costs reduced through targeted control of the opening, hold-open and closing processes. In addition, barrier-free access to the building is made easier and the use of automatic doors is made safer.
The company, which specializes in security technology and access control, takes personal movement vectors into account: people walk through a door at different speeds. Conventional systems remain open for a certain amount of time every time someone enters a building, which causes a lot of energy to escape. MotionIQ calculates the ideal opening time and the individual hold-open time. For this purpose, a field of up to 10 meters in the door area is covered with a virtual net. When a person enters the measuring area, sensors record the distance, speed and angle to calculate the matching door movement. Because the door only remains open for a certain time, it consumes less energy and reduces wear and tear.
Another advantage of the unnecessary openings concerns security: the door only opens when necessary and closes immediately after passage. This minimizes the risk of accidents and injuries and enables a longer service life for the drive technology. The door is also perceived less as a barrier. ce/heg
