Assa Abloy Upgrades Hotel Room Locks at Hilton Surfer's Paradise

Assa Abloy has upgraded the room locks of the Hilton Surfer's Paradise Hotel & Residences in Australia.

The new VingCard Signature RFID door locks are equipped with Mobile Access and use advanced encryption technology that enables the 178-room hotel to offer guests contactless check-in and digital key room access.

Via seamless integration with the energy management system supplied by Assa Abloy, VingCard Signature RFID can automatically communicate with in-room thermostats and lighting to adjust settings based on occupancy.

When a guest opens the door, Signature RFID ensures that guestrooms are always comfortable by working with the energy management system to monitor and manage humidity levels while making sure that lighting reflects a welcoming environment. Once VingCard Signature RFID detects that a guestroom has become unoccupied, the energy management system is alerted to re-adjust in-room settings to energy-saving mode.

"Our hotel's upgrade to VingCard Signature RFID does not just only ensure greater property-wide security while meeting guest demands for instant and social distancing-compatible service," said Paul Briggs, Sustainability & Projects Coordinator at Schwartz Family Co.,the company which owns and operates Hilton Surfer's Paradise Hotel & Residences. "It also represents an opportunity to provide guests with a personalized experience that many increasingly expect while at the same time lowering building energy expenses."
