Efaflex introduces another digital module with EFA-SmartConnect
With the EFA-SmartConnect system, the manufacturer of high-speed doors is setting new standards in the intelligent networking of door systems: the module enables both the operation and planning of customer service and maintenance processes in your own WLAN network. All parameters can be controlled and visualized regardless of location and without contact. The user is always connected to the network via an app and benefits from numerous individually adjustable features for real-time door management.
EFA SmartConnect meets the requirements with the fully digital handling of door operation in its own protected Wi-Fi network. The IoT solution is operated via the EFA smartphone app, compatible with the common iOS and Android operating systems, whose functions include the visualization of the current door status, the parameterization of essential door settings such as hold-open time as well as the display of maintenance data, error memory and current error messages including descriptions and cause analysis. Thanks to smart networking with the manufacturer, users can also send service messages directly to Efaflex if required.
Doors communicate in a network
Within a network, several doors equipped with the smart system can be connected to each other and then communicate with each other and with the app. If a particularly large number of doors are to be integrated into the management system, for example in large halls, this is also possible as several networks can be operated in parallel. The module constantly forwards the current status report of each individual door to the app, from which the user can forward relevant data to the manufacturer if required. As the operator of the door systems, they decide for themselves which of the available information to make available to Efaflex for further steps, such as status reports, faults or maintenance issues. Efaflex will be installing the module in selected door control units with immediate effect. In order to be able to record and operate doors that are already in operation with EFA SmartConnect, an additional board will be integrated into the existing system, equipped with a QR code, a serial number and access data. This means that older door systems can also be added to the network via the app.
