Enhance your guests comfort, meet your CSR, and enjoy significant energy cost savings with MACH^® room automation

In a world of diminishing resources, consumers and businesses are more environmentally aware and expect high ethical and sustainability standards from their accommodation providers. The challenge for the hotel operator is not only to meet these consumer demands, but also provide a great guest experience at a lower energy and operational cost. The ability to manage and control energy consumption, combined with improved, management response, reporting, security, room availability and utilisation is essential.

Traditionally ‘island' solutions have been employed to address energy, access, security, room management, SOS alarms and so on. Pressure to reduce the supply costs of these solutions can be ineffective due to the disparate nature of the supply chain. The result is hidden costs in ‘fuzzy' interfaces. Wasted time and money.

MACH^® is a fully integrated solution to automated room and energy management, incorporating all the benefits of a single source supplier, removing wasteful and costly interfaces between systems and enhancing operator and business efficiency.

Using the MACH^® system the operator can control how much energy the guests consume, no more over heated rooms, lights left on, windows left open, flooded bathrooms, wasted hot water, TV's left on whilst guest is in the bar, and much more. Keys are RFID tags, they cannot be copied. Each key is unique to that guest and their room on that date.

Benefits include:

• Web enabled system allowing remote access and support functions reducing downtime to bare minimum.
• Wireless peripherals such as window switches, flood control, and SOS alarms, minimising installation time and disruption.
• Plug & Play units allowing for very quick replacements by your own maintenance staff should the need arise.
• Full spare part stock service held in the UK, (often in the clients own premises) for speedy rectification of malfunction.

Management reports from the MACH^® system include:

• Room cleaning allocation, times, staff response and availability.
• Maintenance regime, management, time and costs.
• Repair and replacement of room essentials in priority order.
• Alarms, identification and response.

To respond to the international element of hotel usage and operation, guest interface panels will display information in the guest's chosen language. Similarly the operators can log into the system in different languages at the same terminal. The operator can also log in remotely to the system via a suitable web browser.

Refurbishment projects incorporating the MACH^® system will also be eligible for the Carbon Trust^® loan scheme.
