The Sanjeevv Bhatia (SB) Group, a leading holding company in the UAE, featured its smart property management and system integration solutions for 200 key stakeholders from the hospitality industry, at the Stakeholder Conference 2021.

The Dubai-based company allowed stakeholders to witness the revolutionary products and services brought to market by Netix Controls, a smart building management solutions provider; ODS Global, a smart systems integrator; and Teknoware, an intelligent emergency lighting manufacturer; in an exclusive “Experience Room”, set up for the event.

The displayed automation solutions are implementable in both Greenfield and Brownfield projects, for seamlessly connected, monitored, and managed buildings.

The demo wall featured an integrated live command and control center (iICCC), which serves as a nerve center for smart city solutions for developers, facility managers, consultants, and interior designers. Prestigious international hotel brands with a portfolio of both existing and new properties around the world were also among the stakeholders.

Integration capabilities of several systems with the Netix Konnect iIBMS platform were also on display. The featured solutions included cutting-edge Wi-Fi enabled and remotely operable thermostat designs that reduce hardware dependency, and the interplay of hardware and software to achieve seamless Global Risk Management Solutions (GRMS) workflow, with guests able to see utility consumption monitored and tracked on a live screen.

“The SB Group was able to give stakeholders a live demo of the massive integration-enabled advantages they can unlock, for their hospitality properties. The average hospitality property is dealing with 40 to 50 vendors, from whom they have sourced embedded systems. As opposed to many tier-1 service providers, who charge a minimum of $500,000 to million dollars to simply onboard these assets to a single platform; the SB Group’s solution for such system integration is within the grasp of even SME businesses, regardless of whether the property is a new project or an existing one.”

Visitors saw a demonstration of the Netix Konnect platform’s real-time alarm generation, as well as the features of Netix iICCC, a single window access to real-time smart city data with energy management, data analysis, security, fault detection and diagnostics, and many other capabilities that enable business intelligence, Big Data analysis, and IoT integration for an entire city, using powerful analytical dashboards.

In the context of the hospitality industry, Netix Controls is not only able to integrate GRMS, Business Management Solutions (BMS), but it can also be programmed to remember a specific guest’s preferred settings, such as energy consumption, real-time usage, preferences, and more, which are automatically shared whenever the guest checks in again. This makes it possible to anticipate and manage energy usage, in addition to providing highly personalized services.

Meanwhile, the Teknoware emergency lighting systems that the SB Group has introduced are the first in the region to be able to easily interface with any BMS while also being able to function as a stand-alone system. The emergency lighting system includes assets that vary from stylish designer components to robust emergency lighting that can withstand the harshest environments and conditions.

“We have already been inundated with inquiries and strong interest from the visiting stakeholders and their organizations, I strongly believe that The Stakeholder Conference 2021 will be a turning point, for the hospitality industry, as well as sustainability and smart services goals set for the region,” Mr. Bhatia concluded.
