The starting point was not the question of which technology could be implemented. What mattered was how everyday life at TOWER185 could be genuinely improved for everyone who uses the building. Together with experts, Facility Management and tenants, we took a fresh look at access routes, operational processes and services – from the moment people arrive to the key touchpoints our community encounters throughout the building.
The result is a clear roadmap for TOWER185’s smart evolution. Technology is the enabler, helping to make the flow of our tenants through the building as seamless as possible.
Many processes within a building feel effortless. Behind them, however, are different technical systems that until now have not been automatically connected. This is precisely where the smart-building transformation comes in. Key systems such as access control and lift control have been upgraded and newly interconnected. What is technically complex behind the scenes should feel like one thing in everyday working life: intuitive and seamless.
Home Floor Calling is the first tangible example of what this new interaction between systems means in practice. When you pass through the speedgate, the system automatically recognises your destination floor and assigns the right lift straight away. No need to stop at the lift controls. No need to select your floor again. Simply walk through the gate, step into the lift and head straight to your desk.
Further solutions and use cases are already being developed behind the scenes, consistently shaped around the needs of our users and introduced step by step: digital visitor management, Smart Parking and Mobile Access. For us as the development team, this marks an important milestone. We are creating a digital infrastructure that will continue to open up new possibilities for our tenants at TOWER185.
Home Floor Calling is the first smart move to become part of the everyday experience of our community and our guests. More will follow. Stay tuned – we’ll keep you posted!
