LAUFEN Smart: A New Era of Connectivity

Networking washbasin faucets, urinals and shower controls with the intuitive LAUFEN SmartControl app, or integrating them into the building management software through Gateway or a Smart Cloud, LAUFEN Smart heralds a new age in water management. These solutions from LAUFEN create safety and comfort for users, reduce maintenance costs for operators and the service time of facility managers, all while helping to save water and electricity – which benefit our planet.

Exceptional hygiene is of the highest priority, particularly in public restrooms. Fitting out facilities with the right products, made from the right materials, plays an important role in achieving this goal. LAUFEN’s Smart Bathroom solutions provide a range of new opportunities to ensure the highest standards of cleanliness at all times. From automatic hygienic flushing and thermal disinfection, to contactless faucets, with LAUFEN’s Smart Bathroom, you can ensure the highest standards of cleanliness at all times. The people managing the facilities can control and operate these processes simply on a computer, tablet or smartphone – wherever they happen to be – using the SmartControl app.

Fitting out facilities with the right products, made from the right materials, plays an important role in achieving this goal.

The people managing the facilities can control and operate these processes simply on a computer, tablet or smartphone – wherever they happen to be – using the SmartControl app.

This digital connection makes it easier to keep restrooms clean. The app is used to configure and adjust the parameters of the products before first-time use. Technicians within the facility management team can then use the app to control and monitor the facilities, diagnose problems and ensure the necessary maintenance. Parameters can be adjusted easily in the app when necessary, so that the products can be adapted to any change in requirements.

The digitalisation of controls delivers extensive statistics on product usage, the latest version of which can simply be exported from the app. This enables facilities to be managed more efficiently because maintenance can be adapted to, and optimised in line with, actual use. Furthermore, the app allows water consumption to be monitored and controlled. How long a faucet runs for, as well as the type of toilet flush, can also be configured exactly as needed. And in the event of a sudden, excessive rise in water consumption, facility managers are alerted via a push message. All of these features combine to help manage water consumption as precisely as possible. This not only saves costs, but also makes a valuable contribution towards the environment.

One of the key advantages of LAUFEN’s Smart Bathroom solutions is that individual parameters can be adjusted to the operational requirements of each specific site. Needs vary greatly, depending on the type of facilities and their location. For example, the requirements of a hospital are completely different from those of an airport – and the same holds true for schools, offices and sports facilities. LAUFEN’s Smart Bathroom system offers the perfect solution for every situation.

A cloud-based solution is the perfect approach to managing large facilities, or a larger number of connected facilities, such as bathrooms on multiple floors or in high-rise buildings. LAUFEN’s web-based Smart Dashboard enables all connected devices to be configured, controlled and maintained – no matter where the user actually is. The web-based solution with cloud storage allows users to access a dashboard – anytime, anywhere – showing real-time data relating to all connected products. Any adjustments can be carried out simply via the dashboard, whenever they are needed. The Smart Dashboard can be used as a stand-alone solution or integrated into a building’s existing central control system.
