Intelligent and digital: needs-based product solutions for door, gate and logistics systems
Werth, January 2019. In 2019, BAU in Munich once again stands for progress in all areas of the construction industry. Digitalisation is clearly taking on the role of a key driver of this progress and creating completely new possibilities for the planning, construction and operation of buildings. This is reflected in Novoferm's solutions. As one of Europe's leading system providers of door and gate solutions as well as loading and logistics systems, Novoferm itself is consistently focussing on digital possibilities - making it easier for customers and business partners to enter the smart world of Building 4.0. This is based on numerous products and intelligent solutions for the private, commercial and industrial sectors. Digital applications from Novoferm increase efficiency, safety and cost-effectiveness in logistics and industry or enable the integration of Novoferm garage door-operators into smart home systems. This development is symbolised by the multimedia tower on the extensive BAU stand in Hall B3 (Stand 339), which shows how Novoferm digitally ensures more efficient processes and even greater customer orientation.
In the context of digitalisation, Novoferm is concentrating on solutions that offer various customer groups concrete and reliable additional benefits. Private users benefit from digital progress under the SmartHome banner. Novoferm is consciously pursuing the strategic approach of system openness. Novoferm sectional garage doors with operators built from 2016 onwards can now be easily controlled with an app or the door control can be integrated as a new function in standard SmartHome systems. The door can be opened and closed, the operator lighting can be controlled or the door status can be queried with a finger movement. In addition to direct door control, it is also possible to programme individual scenarios - also in combination with other areas integrated into the respective SmartHome system - entirely according to the customer's needs.
This naturally also applies to the further improved and patented NovoPort® operator, which impresses with greater convenience, additional functions, more security and a captivating design.
Novoferm has also created a highlight with the garage doorsectional door iso 70 Premium Plus, which guarantees maximum energy efficiency thanks to thermally separated sections. Novoferm offers the ideal solution for garages with round arches, a rising slope in front of the garage or a pavement with a lot of pedestrian traffic - with the inward-opening wicket door for sectional garage doors. The safe and convenient inward opening and the flexible arrangement of the door provide optimum protection for people and property.
Novoferm is presenting the newly developed NovoSlide Wall sliding door system for sliding doors that run in front of the wall, not only for private homes, but also for the high-end commercial sector in particular. The new development represents the ideal combination of function and design and is rounded off at the top by the NovoSlide Wall Rapid automatic sliding door system, which literally makes the sliding door leaf float thanks to a low-energy Mag-net drive.
In addition to these innovations, Novoferm will be presenting numerous new and further developments of door solutions tailored to customer requirements. For example, Novoferm has expanded the portfolio of both the NovoPorta Premio series as a multifunctional all-rounder in an attractive thick rebate and the design-orientated and flush-fitting NovoPorta Plano as the "most beautiful side of fire protection" in line with customer requirements. The single or double-leaf EI2 30 and EI2 90 doors with significantly extended user options or the highly fire-resistant EI2 60 as a single or double-leaf door aimed primarily at neighbouring European markets will be on show at BAU.
Novoferm meets the growing security requirements in the commercial and private sectors with the NovoPorta Premio RC4 multi-purpose security door.security doors and the bullet-resistant single or double-leaf Premio special door S-D FB4 RC3.
The design requirements of architects and planners are met by the aluminiumaluminium tubular frame door NovoFire® Thermo aluminium tubular frame door for external use, which elegantly fulfils the fire protection requirements for high-density buildings with sophisticated residential, office or hotel properties.
Installation highlight: Novoferm offers particularly simple "ex works" fire protection for the installation of EI2 30 NovoPorta Premio doors with the EasyFit system: Standard corner frames equipped with special foamers make installation faster, safer and more economical. With EasyFit, no further complex backfilling is necessary.
Customers from the industrial sector can expect further Novoferm innovations. As a pan-European company, Novoferm has laid the foundations for a new generation of fire-resistant sliding doors with the NovoSlide Industry. It fulfils the requirements for all common European fire resistance classes and can therefore be used easily and reliably as a CE-marked construction element throughout Europe. This means that all Novoferm fire protection closures will be classified in Europe in future.
The EVO X is an innovation for optimising the complex and time-critical processes involved in loading and unloading at logistics centres and other goods handling points. It combines intelligent security technology with digital information management in a unique way and impresses with its simple and fast control. This makes it an ideal addition to the Lion 4.0 software, a digital tool for monitoring, displaying and optimising the entire loading situation, enabling maximum process transparency and efficiency.
Furthermore, two newly developed high-speed doors will also be presented in Munich. The NovoFold high-speed folding door supports logistics processes in a variety of ways, in particular through its efficient function and high stability. The NovoZip for indoor use is a flexible and self-repairing PVC high-speed door, making it the ideal solution for heavily frequented passageways.
The new double-walled Thermo 80 industrial sectional door with aluminium sections and standard quadruple glazing will also be presented. It has a particularly high thermal insulation value, thus minimising energy consumption many times over and offering light-friendly transparency.
In addition to innovative new products, Novoferm will be showcasing numerous digital options for supporting and simplifying planning and sales processes at the central multimedia tower. Trade fair visitors will get an overview of the powerful and user-friendly range of services with many new applications and features.
