Hörmann to present Smart Technology at FENESTRATION BAU China 2019

What should you do when you have forgotten your keys and no one is home?

Ten years ago, you would have broken the lock.

Fast forward to five years ago and you would be calling the locksmith for help.

Today, you can simply unlock the door effortlessly (using your fingerprint or code).

Technologies are developing quickly and bringing convenience to our daily life and work. AI and IoT technologies have been maturing in recent years, and smart homes are becoming increasingly common in China.

Germany's Hörmann has long been a hidden champion among door brands, thanks to its efforts in making quality doors and researching smart technologies. At FENESTRATION BAU China 2019 (FBC), Hörmann will showcase its new Smart Module.

Smart Module

The smaller, the smarter

Smart Module is Hörmann's latest smart product. With a diameter less than 40 mm, it supports fingerprint and card identification and can be used in security doors and apartment doors, allowing doors to be opened at the touch of a finger.

· Touch function: Wet/dry fingers can be identified

· Identification speed < 1 sec., with an automated learning program

· Infrared sensing within 60 cm

· Voice prompts and alarm function for multiple errors

· Active mode supported. Cards can be identified in sleep mode

Smart Module is designed with stainless steel for durability. It is compatible with multiple door types, and the compact form allows easy modification without damage to the door. The controller is installed in the frame and separated from the fingerprint module, which enhances security because the controller cannot be damaged or reset to break into premises illegally.

In addition, Hörmann's entire series of fire-rated doors, various industrial doors, doors for public buildings, and interior doors will be featured.
