Technology:
iPods and iPads
A modern PCD1.M2120-CPU with an integrated web
server and 8 MB memory for images and graphics
was retrofitted with minimum effort. This created the
basis for accessing the room functions via wireless
LAN and mobile iPad operation.
All EIB/KNX communication was mapped in the PCD
and linked to the systems. The new graphical opera-
tion was fully developed in parallel to the existing
operating system. The room users and Holiday Inn
employees can therefore access the system functions
simultaneously and in a mobile manner. This makes
the hotel staff’s work far easier and creates stress-free
conference room management.
However, the decisive advantages are the time
savings and efficiency.
As stated by Ms Obervöll, Head of Conference Rooms:
«
Thanks to the new technology, there are far fewer
questions about its operation, which has in turn led
to relaxed and satisfied clientele.»
In addition to the wireless operation via iPads to
monitor the current room situation and create
preconfigured settings for desired room scenarios,
the entire technology can also be monitored and
controlled from the conference room head office
via a PC.
Thanks to the «http-direct» function, the confer-
ence room management can use a PC and standard
browser to quickly and easily establish the neces-
sary settings at any time via preconfigured links. This
flexible technology impresses everyone involved and
makes life simpler.

Yvonne Oberföll, Head of
Conference Centres for the Holi-
day Inn in Westside: «The new
technology has vastly reduced
the number of questions about
how to operate the conference
centres and therefore reduced
the workload for our staff.»

The final part of the service provided by Saia-Burgess
Controls AG was to monitor the solution's success
through a customer survey. Both the hotel man-
agement and general hotel staff stated that they
were extremely satisfied with the solution, and the
feedback from the hotel and conference guests
was thoroughly positive.
The flexibility of the web technology means that
even the hotel management's future operational and
functional requirements can be met. The lean solu-
tion offers sustainable use thanks to a flexible and
open automation solution.
