Voice control at the service of the Hotel

2020-09-11T09:45:30+02:00

Digital and artificial intelligence are really changing the approach to tourism, especially in hotels and the hospitality sector. With the sector experiencing a slow restart in this post-covid phase, it will now, more than ever, rely on an important and constantly evolving ally, namely technology. Making the guest's stay smarter, whilst helping to facilitate the work of hoteliers, are the most common requests in the world of hotels today. VDA, which has been providing hotel automation solutions for 40 years, also this time has not held back in this area. Through a collaboration with Volara Voice Hub, VDA has implemented the first integration between room automation systems in the Middle East, Micromaster, VDA's Guest Room Management System, and voice control of Amazon Alexa. The activation of voice control inside the hotel room allows guests to interact with the amenities available inside the room, by turning lights on and off, opening and closing curtains, changing the air conditioning settings, or contacting Reception in order to request specific services. In addition, the high levels of security implemented ensure that personal information, guest conversations, and proprietary data, are protected. Bringing this solution into this accommodation means that helping to simplify the approach of guests to [...]

Hotel Room Automation and Covid-19: Technological solutions for guest safety

2020-09-11T11:52:24+02:00

VDA solutions, in support of hotels during the covid-19 emergency The reopening of the hotel: the gradual increase in the levels of accommodation to be made available to guests, necessitates additional measures of safety to assist in protecting them during the Covid-19 emergency. Lets see how hotel automation for hotels, thanks to technology, can considerably reduce transmission risks, making innovative solutions for the hotel market. To better understand the technological solutions that support the hotel during the Covid-19 emergency, we look at the advantage created through the collaboration with the VDA Group which, to help hoteliers during the recommencement of the hotel operation, immediately made available their room automation and room management technologies. In particular, and in compliance with the requirements on spacing and health protection, VDA has developed solutions capable of facilitating the work of the system operators in the sector, whilst meeting their guest’s satisfaction. Among the problems that have been solved, some examples are: the reduction of high contact surfaces (through the limiting or avoiding of the touching of remote controls, switches, and keys), the simplified management of room services (such as breakfast) through the ordering via an app or the interactive TV, the management of the [...]

Room Automation and Interactive TV systems: Technology is the hotelier’s ally assisting in the management of the re-opening of hotels, and safely.

2020-07-22T12:00:04+02:00

Phase 2 has just begun, and operators throughout tourism, those that have suffered the most from the consequences of the pandemic, are preparing to face the summer season, whilst living with this health emergency. According to CNA estimates, the tourism sector representing 12% of Italian GDP will experience a 73% contraction, with a 44.1% drop in turnover, when compared to 2019. These forecasts led many hoteliers to quickly seek solutions, with many ideas coming from technology. In an historical moment, in which man has been forced into social distancing, automation and IOT prove to be important allies, because they allow hoteliers to welcome their guests safely. In this context, VDA Group, a leading Italian company in the home automation sector for hotels, with offices in Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific, has collected the multiple requests received from hoteliers, and has thus grouped them into the main areas for intervention: reducing contact with surfaces of usually high contact (i.e. remote controls, telephones, thermostats, switches, and keys), avoiding gatherings in the Reception area during Check-in and Check-out, encouraging room service, and also managing access control. "We are aware that the reopening of the accommodation facilities is a very delicate moment," says [...]
