Ensuring your guests feel
safe but not inconvenienced
by safety equipment
Access – unobtrusively controlled
Your hotel should be secure, but it should
not be a fortress. Striking this balance is
a job for integrated access control solu-
tions from Siemens. You can rely on us
to intelligently network technologies and
embed them into the service routines of
your staff.
Intelligent Response – safe evacuation
Your guests want to be protected from
fire, but not harassed by false alarms.
Fire detection systems from Siemens,
with our Genuine Alarm Guarantee, offer
the right solution.
In the event of fire, it may be necessary
to evacuate parts of the hotel. The first
priorities are speed and calm.
The blinds are automatically opened to
facilitate rescue through the windows.
Clear voice announcements ask guests
in their respective language to leave their
rooms, while the rooms’ TV sets also dis-
play the evacuation map. Illuminated
points show the way. All elevators are
switched so that they will only go to the
entrance. Revolving doors are completely
open. Video monitors show your security
personnel immediately if a guest is having
difficulties, so they can help without delay.
Thus, networking helps ensure orderly and
complete evacuation.
Personal data always well protected
Despite high security, guests’ privacy must
always be ensured, and in particular their
personal data must be protected. Here
again, Siemens offers innovative solutions,
from online data security to storage of
guest profiles on a member card without
backup.
Power supply –
secure and uninterrupted
Power is the lifeblood of your hotel
operation. As a global leader in electrical
engineering, we can ensure that you have
secure, uninterrupted power supply,
tailored to the requirements of your func-
tional areas. If you also want to avoid
expensive peak time rates, produce your
own electricity and feed it into the grid,
then we should talk about your Smart Grid.
