Ways Hotels Are Integrating Smart Technologies To Stay Ahead In Industry

As hotels grow smarter and handle important challenges, the hospitality sector recognizes the importance of IoT technology.

Fremont, CA: Hotels are becoming more sophisticated. For thousands of years, hospitality has been one of the world's largest and oldest industries, adapting to a changing world. That pace has intensified in recent decades due to technical advancements and the increased visitor expectations that have resulted. More recently, the Covid-19 outbreak's social distancing efforts have resulted in increased expectations for cleanliness and contactless transactions. On the other hand, concerns about sustainability have made green efforts both a sensible financial move and a marketing requirement. With IoT technology, businesses can solve these challenges and enhance operational efficiency, revenue, and visitor pleasure. ways in which the hotel sector is utilizing IoT technology to adapt to the difficulties and advancements of the modern world

• Guestroom Controls

discerning visitors want hotels to deliver a smooth end-to-end experience and embrace the technologies that have become an essential part of their lives at work and home. As a result, many hotels now allow visitors to manage different room functions on their phones, such as water temperature or lighting. In the future, an IoT platform might store visitor preferences so that each time they book a stay at a specific location or brand, they would find the room adapted perfectly to their tastes.

• Contactless Service       

Hotels have begun to experiment with robot assistants to clean and offer contactless guest care. Some are powerful cleaning robots that utilize UV lasers to destroy viruses and germs on surfaces and in the air. On the other hand, others have the more "fun" task of providing visitors with amenities like towels or toiletries, reporting hallway trash or inadequate Wi-Fi access, or even preparing beverages for guests. In addition to lowering labor costs, these hotel robots help protect the safety of both guests and employees as a greater demand in cleanliness standards and social distance remains the norm.

• Energy Conservation & Property Maintenance

Many hospitality organizations see the advantages of using automated systems to save on energy expenses as technology improves and hotels become more inventive. For example, more and more hotels are installing occupancy sensors in guest rooms, which activate energy-saving actions such as lowering shades, changing the temperature, or turning off lights and gadgets if a room gets reported to be vacant. In addition, predictive maintenance may assist properties in avoiding equipment breakdowns, and smart monitoring systems can be helpful to detect concerns such as water leaks or poor air quality at the property.
