HITEC 2015 NEWS: Zeno's InnPoint Guest Experience Interface Connects Front Office to Environmental Controls
Zeno Controls is showcasing its InnPoint Guest Experience Interface, data that normally is reserved for back-of-house areas, now available for guestrooms, at HITEC 2015. InnPoint uses a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system that collects data points from anywhere in the building and displays the metrics in a programmable graphic user interface designed to optimize the visualization of the data and facilitate response if required.
Zeno’s InnPoint package provides a common interface between otherwise independent elements of automated energy savings. Zeno's specially formulated hardware and software combinations bridge the gaps that have historically been wedged between sensor networks, building automation systems/building management systems (BAS/BMS), hotel property-management systems, and point-of-sale systems (PMS and POS).
While temperature and humidity are important, the new sensor arrays will report excessive noise levels, bad air quality and more, giving hotel staff a chance to fix small problems before they escalate, according to Zeno
At HITEC, Zeno Controls will also feature:
· Bluetooth Beacon Technology — combined with state-of-the-art location software and Motorola Radios to send automated messages to the closest authorized staff member to investigate on alarm or developing situation
· Safe & Sound Alert System — at the core of the new InnPoint network (which allows for future expansion) guests will be able to monitor their own environment and be protected from Carbon Monoxide, Excessive VOC’s and receive Notices/Alerts on their phones, adding peace of mind to the powerful hotel back end.
InnPoint currently uses a web-accessible SCADA for data collection, but as the system moves to the cloud, hardware costs at each location will drop, and data will be available across all platforms, enabling a level of interface with POS, PMS, BAS and Sales/Marketing that has not been possible to date.
