The hotel industry has a huge challenge: to combine excellence in customer experience with efficient resource management. Our client was facing several problems related to the lack of supervision and monitoring in their facilities, which directly impacted energy consumption and daily operations. Here’s how Kiconex intervened to transform their processes and results.

 

The Challenge: Lack of Centralized Oversight and Control

The hotel managed multiple cooling equipment, domestic hot water (DHW) production and energy systems without a centralized control system. This resulted in high energy costs and a poorly optimized use of resources.

 

The kiconex Solution: device management and digitization

An advanced monitoring and automation system was implemented to optimize the use of its facilities.

• Real-time monitoring: We install cameras and sensors to monitor cooling and DHW systems in real time, allowing managers to detect anomalies and optimize equipment performance.
• Automation of cold rooms: Rules were implemented to turn off the cold rooms outside working hours, which has resulted in considerable energy savings.
• Intelligent control of door openings: Thanks to our systems, you can now manage the opening and closing times of doors in loading and unloading areas. Also, in the event that a worker leaves the door of these chambers open, an alarm is triggered to warn of this. This allows you to manage the time they remain open, optimizing loading times and reducing the loss of cold, which generates considerable energy savings.
• DHW management: We optimize water preheating through cooling chillers, improving efficiency without compromising guest comfort.

 

Results: Energy Savings and Improved Operational Control

The impact of Kiconex solutions has been remarkable in the hotel’s operation:

• 15% savings in energy consumption: Process automation and constant monitoring have significantly reduced operating costs related to energy use.
• Increased efficiency in cold room management: By implementing automation rules, unnecessary use of energy outside working hours has been reduced.
• Door control optimization: Loading and unloading times or unattended open doors are now much better managed, avoiding unnecessary energy losses.

 

Conclusion: Digital transformation in the Hotel Sector

Thanks to kiconex’s IoT technology, they have been able to not only improve their operational efficiency, but also reduce their environmental impact and optimize the use of key resources. This success story demonstrates how technology solutions can make a big difference in demanding sectors such as the hotel industry.
