Hotel Automation: smart access with AVE Keypads

The evolution of hospitality tech requires solutions capable of combining maximum security with smooth and autonomous operations. For hotel managers, property managers, and industry investors, access automation represents a crucial turning point: it allows for the reduction of costs tied to physical reception staffing by enabling self check-in, while simultaneously improving the guest’s arrival experience. With the introduction of the new numeric keypads integrated into the stand-alone AVE Domina Pro Hotel system, hotel management takes a decisive leap in quality.

Access Keypads for unmanned facilities

Managing unmanned facilities, such as decentralized boutique hotels, vacation homes, or guesthouses, imposes rigorous security standards. The new AVE devices meet this need by validating every single access code directly via web-server. The door opens exclusively upon authorization from the central system; furthermore, to eliminate break-in risks, the electric lock contact can be wired remotely to a secure actuator positioned inside, rendering any external tampering with the keypad completely useless.

To adapt to different needs, the range is divided into distinct solutions, designed to integrate into any context:

• Indoor Touch Keypads (IP20): available in black and white finishes, they offer a minimalist design and ultra-compact dimensions. The 12-button touch keyboard features RGB backlighting, enhancing the aesthetics of corridors and rooms.
• Outdoor Vandal-Resistant Keypad (IP65 / IK8): designed to withstand the most extreme conditions. With its 13 physical buttons and a high degree of protection against dust, water jets, and mechanical impacts (IK8), it’s the ideal investment for gates, main entrances, or perimeter accesses exposed to the elements.

Hospitality Tech and Cloud Control

The technological infrastructure should never complicate the staff’s work, but rather simplify it. The true beating heart of this solution is the free AVE Cloud service, accessible on the go via both the web and a dedicated app. Hotel management thus obtains a centralized control dashboard that allows for:

• Code/Card Management: create, modify, or delete access permissions in real-time.
• Event Log: consult the access history to precisely monitor who enters and when.

Furthermore, this solution integrates natively with the Wi-Fi touch screen monitors of AVE’s 2-wire and IP video intercom systems, further centralizing the control panels available to the reception desk.
