IoT in Automatic Doors: Smart Transformation in Access Management

(Reading Time: 1-2 minutes)

In today's rapidly digitalizing world, the need for businesses to automate their processes has become more pressing than ever. The development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has made technical processes that would have seemed impossible decades ago a natural part of our daily lives. The automatic doors we use every day in office buildings, supermarkets, hospitals, and commercial facilities are benefiting from this technological evolution.

Manusa, through its innovative Visio+ operator, brings IoT technology as a standard feature to automatic doors. With built-in IoT infrastructure, automatic doors can now be remotely controlled via smartphones, and access management becomes significantly more secure .

Affordable Upgrade Path for Existing Systems

While Manusa's Visio+ model comes with built-in IoT technology, the Turkish market offers an even more flexible solution for businesses. Existing or newly installed automatic doors can be easily transformed into smart systems through the IoTBox+ module .

This module enables connectivity with Visio+ operators via Ethernet while maintaining full compatibility with other operator series such as Activa, Visio, and Bravo . This way, businesses can upgrade their existing infrastructure with an affordable kit rather than replacing entire door systems.

Complete Control with Doorwifi

At the heart of smart door systems lies the Doorwifi application, which offers managers and users unprecedented flexibility. Accessible from mobile devices, this platform enables real-time management of building access and egress .

Real-World Experience: A Business Center in Kocaeli

In a business center operating in Kocaeli, employing security personnel significantly increased operational costs. Controlled access to the building entrance was needed for visitors arriving outside business hours, such as delivery personnel.

To solve this problem, a Manusa automatic door system was integrated at the building entrance. The customer can now remotely open and close the door for incoming visitors using the Doorwifi application on their smartphone, even when not physically present in the building. Through virtual keys and instant notifications, building access and egress are managed securely and conveniently.
