A
one degree centigrade
variance in temperature
could result in a 20-30%
reduction or increment
in energy costs.
That can be staggering
for a 500 rooms hotel.
momentohs® enterprise’
integration with Room
Management Systems allows
Front Office and Housekeeping
staff knowledge of the
room’s basic info
such as temperature,
lighting & electrical
usage. An example, when
guests open their windows
and keep the air conditioning
running, condensation
and moisture sets in
and affects walls, carpets,
curtains and even electronics.
A Smart system can trigger
corrective action based
on pre-defined conditions.
Guest
Experience delivery
is one of the key differentiators
among five star chains.
When regular guests
check-in, it should
be with more than a
smile from the concierge
and a mint on the pillow.
The
room air conditioning
should be set to the
guest’s preference,
a personal welcome message
on the TV set complete
with special interest
activities e.g. Rock
or Classical concert
schedules which the
guest prefers, and frequently
dialed numbers pre-assigned
to the phone system.
To trigger guest preferences,
a system has to be smart
and intelligent to cater
for personal preferences
of THE GUEST.
momentohs®
is equipped with SMART
Technology integration
to deliver superior
guest experience. Today,
the delivery of guest
experience is determined
by imagination and not
restricted by technology.
momentohs® open
architecture allows
for various SMART Technology
applications to be integrated
with ease, flexibility
and reliability. This
includes Digital Video
Server (DVS), RFID,
IVR and Intelligent
Building Management
Systems and Energy Management
Systems.
A
digitally encoded card
usually containing a
variety of information
about the individual(s)
authorized to use it.
The information can
be accessed by a card
reader into which the
card is inserted. The
information may include
access codes (for opening
doors), account numbers
(merchant account numbers
as well as banking account
numbers), and electronic
cash (which is withdrawn
from the card as a purchase
is made).
Scans
and captures information
from Passports, Visa,
or personal ID cards,
regardless of its background
colors or fonts, and
extract all the textual
information and photo
with the help of image
processing and OCR technology.
This is helpful in at
check in desks for faster
data capture.
Digital
Video Server (DVS) designed
for the hospitality
market as a turnkey
entertainment solution,
providing guests with
satellite / cable TV,
pay per view / on demand
video, internet access
and in some cases, games
and on screen guest
information. Televisions
in hotel guest rooms
can usually be linked
to the digital video
servers via a set-top
box and are controlled
by hotel guests using
a wireless keyboard
or remote.
RFID
also called as dedicated
Short Range Communication
(DSRC) is a system that
allows for the identification
and remote tracking
of products, pets, and
even people through
the use of radio waves.
System reads the radio
frequency and transfers
the information to a
processing device. RFID
tag can carry information
from a simple level
to a complex level.
Interactive
Voice Response (IVR)
is a computerized system
that allows a person,
typically a telephone
caller, to select options
from a voice menu and
otherwise interact with
the computer phone system.
IVRs are used for automated
wake up calls, requesting
services, etc.
IBMS
is configured in a hierarchical
manner, to control,
monitor and manage all
the equipment installed
in the building. This
equipment can include
heating, ventilation,
cooling, security, lighting
etc. Most of the Building
Management Systems supports
protocols like BacNet,
Lon, Modbus, SOAP, &
XML.
Energy
Management provides
efficient, lowest-cost
climate control while
increasing guest comfort
through faster target
temperature attainment.
These systems ranges
from controlling packaged
terminal air conditioners
(PTACs) to advanced
centrally controlled
systems for fan coil
units (FCUs) where heated
floors, proportional
valves and even automated
drapery control become
part of the EMS equation.
System helps in reducing
energy cost by monitoring
and controlling energy
equipment.
