Roca Connect: smart bathrooms for better water management
With sustainability in its DNA, Roca constantly innovates with products and solutions that reduce the environmental footprint, especially in sectors such as hospitality, which seek greater energy efficiency. In this regard, the brand has developed Roca Connect, a smart bathroom solution for water management based on the cloud. This technology, which offers superior performance and an exceptional user experience, responds to the current demands of the sector.
A revolution for all
Roca Connect allows the remote management of multiple installations and sanitary devices through an intuitive control panel or an application at anytime, anywhere. These smart devices include sinks, faucets, showers, urinals, and toilets that can be interconnected via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
This system provides statistics and sends notifications and alerts immediately in case of malfunction. Thus, it significantly simplifies maintenance and speeds up the response in case of breakdowns. Furthermore, detailed information on usage and traffic allows for optimizing space distribution, improving people flow, and ensuring efficient resource management. This way, maintenance costs for operators and owners are reduced while saving water and energy.
The versatility of Roca Connect adapts to multiple spaces such as hotels, sports centres, airports, stations, shopping centres, offices, and cultural spaces, in addition to homes and private spaces. This flexibility is due to its simple installation, thanks to wireless devices that eliminate the need for complex wiring. In this way, Roca facilitates the implementation of sustainable and efficient solutions anywhere, saving time and effort.
Roca Connect in hotels
The integration of Roca Connect in hotels contributes to improving customer service by proactively detecting bathroom breakdowns through system alerts. It also streamlines maintenance by immediately managing any incident with a centralized control panel that allows for efficient personnel assignment. Thanks to the data obtained, hoteliers can monitor water consumption and act to achieve greater efficiency and economic savings.
Cloud architecture that meets the highest security standards
The ability to connect sanitary installations and open interfaces to common building systems meets the highest levels of security in encryption, components, and infrastructure, ensuring maximum protection of data and devices.
Roca Connect facilitates safe and efficient integration into Building Management Systems (BMS). This is possible thanks to the use of the Gateway, a wireless access portal that connects smart devices to the cloud and facilitates the sending and receiving of information between them via Wi-Fi, LTE, or Ethernet. It also incorporates firewall capabilities, preventing unauthorized access.
A major advance in sustainability for the sector
Roca Connect represents a significant advance for the hotel and catering sector. Thanks to its customisable settings, it makes it possible to reduce resource consumption to a minimum, optimising operational efficiency and promoting environmental sustainability. This solution is designed to meet the needs of the most demanding sectors, combining cutting-edge technology with efficient water management. With Roca Connect, bathroom management takes a crucial step into the future, significantly improving this essential space and contributing to a more sustainable and efficient environment.
Roca is the global sponsor of interihotel MAD24, which will be held from November 19 to 21 at IFEMA Madrid.
