The Heart Institute of Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam)

Manusa automatic doors are present in dozens of countries all over the world. We design, manufacture and install intelligent accesses for clients from different sectors, always aiming to apply technology to all types of properties and buildings and offering advanced solutions that improve the flow of people.

One of our emblematic projects can be found in the Heart Institute of Ho Chi Minh, in Vietnam. Created in 1992, this medical centre operates on children suffering from heart disease or malformations. Since its foundation, it has performed more than 25,000 operations and is recognised as a leading hospital specialising in cardiology, covering all phases from prevention and early detection to diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.

It has 22 Manusa hermetic doors installed in its operating theatres. Their panelled leaves and the assembly of all its elements without overlaps, leaving the perimeter and the peephole aligned with the body of the leaf, facilitate the cleaning of the leaf and ensure adequate hygiene in a demanding environment such as an operating theatre. Its airtightness prevents any contamination from dirt or micro-organisms. The leaves and operators have a blue finish, but can also made of stainless steel.

Automatic doors in Vietnam and Asia

Manusa’s commitment to the healthcare sector is extremely important. We offer effective solutions for all areas of any hospital:

  • Surgical areas
  • Main and emergency entrances
  • Doors for partitioning indoor spaces

Automatic doors for hospitals contributing to maintaining hygiene, safety and comfort for staff and patients. They also improve the energy efficiency of the building by preventing sudden changes in temperature caused by a door being left open by mistake.

Automatic Platform Screen Doors (PSD) in Dubai

Automatic platform screen doors (PSD) have become an ideal solution for railway stations, bus stations, underground stations, and all types of public transport. Large cities on the five continents now include PSDs at their transport interchanges and at stops along the entire route.

One of Manusa’s flagship projects is located on the artificial island of Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The main avenue of the island, which is shaped like the trunk of a palm tree, can be crossed by monorail. It began to be built in 2009 and consists of four stations located at strategic points on the island.

Manusa, alongside its distributor in the United Arab Emirates “White Aluminium”, and with support from the large construction company Nakheel, was in charge of the design and manufacturing of a new station which has 12 automatic platform closure doors, a dozen emergency doors, as well as a control system for managing the station. These doors can be customised as they can be manufactured in different heights and widths. Moreover, its structure is highly durable, adaptable and reliable.

The presence of this PSD system guarantees the safety and smooth transit of its users because it regulates access to the monorail carriages. In addition, its functional and robust design allows for safe and orderly boarding and disembarkation. With platform closure doors, the separation between the platform and the stopping area for the vehicle is guaranteed, preventing passengers from intruding into unauthorised areas or falling onto the tracks.

Manusa and Ferroflex work together to install a comprehensive solution for a cosmetics laboratory in Argentina

Manusa, a company dedicated to manufacturing automatic doors, and Ferroflex, who manufactures industrial high-speed doors, have devised a joint comprehensive solution to create a series of intelligent accesses in a cosmetic and therapeutic products laboratory in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The installation was carried out thanks to Audoor Puertas Automáticas, the Manusa distributor in Argentina, who oversaw this project that involves various different types of accesses. Laboratories are places that require a series of conditions to ensure that the products stored there are in perfect condition and do not deteriorate. Both Manusa and Ferroflex have solutions capable of providing hygiene, sealing, functionality and safety in the different rooms and corridors of the laboratories.

The project consists of an automaton that allows the opening and closing of the different types of access in lock mode. The airlock system is a security solution that prevents the doors from being open at the same time, because the first one does not open if the second one is not closed and vice versa. As this is a laboratory, hygiene and safety conditions are very high, so the airlock systems were incorporated in both the automatic doors and high-speed doors.

The automatic hermetic sliding doors have been installed in main access areas, while the high-speed roll-up doors for clean rooms have been installed where an airlock enclosure was needed, but there was not enough space for a sliding door. In the event of an emergency or evacuation, the facility is programmed so that the locks will stop operating, allowing for an evacuation when conditions require it.

Manusa presents integral solutions for the cosmetics industry and this Argentine laboratory is already benefiting from them. Do you manage or work in a laboratory and want to improve the access to the different rooms? Contact us now and we will inform you about the products that will improve the entrances and exits to the rooms of the laboratory.

Automatic doors improve energy efficiency in restaurants

Comfort is a key feature that keeps us coming back to a restaurant, as well as the menu, the expertise of the chefs and the treatment by the staff. This perception changes when we are the owners or managers of a place dedicated to hospitality and catering. In this case, we not only take care of the aspects mentioned above, but also of the number of satisfied customers, the financial benefits at the end of the month and the energy efficiency.

Technology and innovation bring added value to the customer experience. One of the aspects that favours this is the presence of automatic doors in the entrance. This type of access has a number of features including safety, hygiene, elegance and accessibility.

As well as smart entrances on the outside of the building, smart entrances on the inside of the building, for example kitchen doors, make it easier for employees and waiters to do their job, as they most certainly have their hands full with food, trays, plates and beverages. The proximity sensor will quickly trigger the opening of the door so that the flow of employees is smooth and efficient. This allows for the partitioning of the rooms inside the establishment.

Automatic doors also improve energy efficiency in restaurants. They prevent sudden changes in temperature caused by a draught when a door is accidentally left open. Automatic door closures ensure that the temperature of the heating in winter and the air conditioning in summer does not fluctuate too much.

How to install automatic doors in a restaurant?

In order to install Manusa automatic doors in a restaurant you must take the following steps:

  • Contact Manusa and describe the needs and characteristics of the establishment to our team of professionals.

Rialto Living, Palma de Mallorca

Emblematic spaces need the best aesthetics, elegance and innovation. These features enhance the grandeur of a space and make visitors feel comfortable and encourage them to return again in the future.

The retail sector takes all these details into account, as well as customer service, natural and artificial lighting, shop window design, ventilation, background music and the spaciousness of communal areas. Any commercial space that wants to make an impact and attract customers must have the latest technology and the best brands.

One of the most emblematic projects Manusa has worked on is Rialto Living, located in an 18th-century baroque palace in Palma de Mallorca (Islas Baleares). It is a concept-store located in the heart of the city and was once the Rialto Cinema, one of the most outstanding and historical cinemas in the Mallorcan capital.

Rialto Living is a lifestyle concept store offering interior design, fashion, art, gifts and a café. In 2014 the space was doubled after a period of renovation and it was necessary to install several automatic doors that needed to perfectly match the environment of this important commercial space. The main entrance is located under a large vault, where an automatic sliding door with a transparent central opening and two framed fixed panels was installed. In addition, the building has a secondary entrance, where a side-opening transparent automatic sliding door with the Rialto Living logo was installed.

A very energy efficient building thanks to automatic doors

Thanks to these smart entrances, the flow of people is smoother, an important factor given that many of them have their hands full with bags or other belongings. In addition, energy efficiency also improves, because draughts are prevented from causing sudden changes in temperature.

Manusa, pioneer and leader in the installation of automatic doors

Manusa is a pioneer and a leader in the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of automatic doors in Spain and a global benchmark. Josep Mª Guilera i Nubiola founded Manusa in 1966, a company that started producing manual overhead cranes, developing the most advanced models and registering several patents. Three years later, in 1969, the production of automatic doors began, with innovative solutions that were distributed internationally from the very beginning. From the very beginning, the market appreciated the new contributions and the quality of the Manusa automatic doors: their advances have made the automatic door locking systems and the market as a whole evolve.

Therefore, in 1971 Manusa introduced automatic doors with pneumatic technology into the market; in 1991, it implemented a microprocessor for the electronic management of the doors; and, only five years later, it revolutionised the market again with the first universal operator.

Manusa’s service and innovation, together with the quality of its automatic doors, soon led to a growing demand both in Spain and all over the world. That is why Manusa opened subsidiaries in Portugal and Brazil in 2012, and expanded its factory in Valls (Tarragona) in order to respond to the needs of the market. In 2018 it opened a second production plant in Polinyà (Barcelona).

Innovation has led Manusa to offer the best solutions on the market: automatic doors that adapt to all kinds of spaces, manufactured with a wide range of materials that match the décor, and intelligent automatisms that offer high performance.

Manusa automatic doors can be found in businesses, government offices and commercial premises in more than 90 countries around the world. You can find Manusa automatic doors at the Sagrada Familia de Barcelona, at Gatwick Airport in London or at the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur. In light of the growing market in Asia, Manusa decided to open a factory in China in 2021 in order to be able to provide a faster and more effective response, especially in the healthcare sector.

With more than 70.000 automatic doors installed in shops and business premises, Manusa is still a market leader in Spain, with a focus on sectors such as retail, healthcare and housing.

The advantages of installing automatic doors in a dental clinic

The healthcare sector is always looking for the well-being of patients. More and more hospitals and clinics are committed to ensuring that this comfort is present in all aspects, beyond those specific to medical disciplines.

Natural light, computerised services, comfortable seating in waiting rooms, the presence of plants in corridors and consultation rooms, as well as speeding up medical appointments are some of the added values that improve the experience of people who have to visit a healthcare centre. Intelligent accesses also increase this well-being and are part of the advantages provided by neuroarchitecture.

More and more buildings in the health sector have automatic doors at their entrances and exits. This improves the conditions of the building in several ways, as it brings multiple benefits:

  • It brings elegance and avant-garde
  • Improves energy efficiency
  • Facilitates the flow of people and enhances functionality
  • Increases hygiene
  • Increases security
  • Adds airtightness in medical areas where it is necessary

Manusa automatic doors can be installed in dental, odontology and maxillofacial surgery clinics. According to the needs of the building, our team of professionals designs and manufactures the doors with the required dimensions so that they can be perfectly integrated in the space. Within the Manusa catalogue, the best intelligent accesses for a dental clinic are the standard automatic sliding door, the automatic telescopic sliding door and the automatic swing door.

The best automatic door for the operating room of a dental clinic

In addition to external accesses, it is also essential to install automatic doors in operating theatres where oral and dental surgery is performed. The best solution for this type of space is the automatic hermetic door. This product guarantees high levels of hygiene in a medical area that must be free of viruses and bacteria.

Dental clinics also have rooms for X-ray examinations. The installation of automatic lead lined doors for X-ray rooms improves the stay of doctors and patients, guaranteeing total isolation in such a sensitive area.

Automatic doors promote customer wellbeing thanks to neuroarchitecture

One of the values that architects consider most when designing a new building is the level of comfort for people in and around the building. Whether it is a shopping centre, a hotel, a restaurant, a hospital, an airport or a home, one of the keys to architectural design is based on the wellbeing of those who pass through the building.

Neuroarchitecture is a science that specifically seeks to make people feel good by having a positive effect on their emotions and feelings. Among its characteristics we can mention aspects such as natural lighting, acoustics, the green areas that integrate and surround it, ceiling height, the colour of the floors, walls and furniture, as well as architectural elements of the building’s structure such as angles and shapes. This not only ensures that people visiting the space feel good, but also that they will choose to come back in the future if they need to, and not opt for the competition in the case of, for example, shops or restaurants.

One of the elements included in this architectural concept is the integration of automatic doors in the access points from the outside as well as for the different internal rooms that may exist in the building. Intelligent accesses favour the transit of people and give the space they are installed in a modern, avant-garde touch, as well as advanced technology.

Examples of neuroarchitecture and automatic doors

Manusa automatic doors open quickly to allow people through and can be integrated in any space as another element of the building, allowing the natural light coming from the outside to pass through thanks to their transparent glass panels. Thanks to the team of professionals that design, manufacture and install these elements in all types of buildings, they achieve a high level of wellbeing and comfort for both employees and customers. So, which intelligent accesses are ideal?

If we look specifically at neuroarchitecture in healthcare settings, we can also include automatic hermetic doors in sliding, swing and glazed models. In a hospital, it is vital to ensure perfect conditions for patients’ wellbeing and the Manusa intelligent access solutions will help with this.

Neuroarchitecture has an impact on the human brain and therefore reduces stress, increases comfort and makes people feel that a building is healthy. It also improves employees’ concentration. This has a positive impact on the place and on the business or company that manages it if it is a for-profit space.

Are you an architect? Do you want to incorporate automatic doors in a neuroarchitectural project? Contact us now and work with our team of professionals. Likewise, if you have a business and want to improve your clients’ premises by having a positive influence on their five senses, we recommend installing intelligent access points.

The benefits of renovating offices to improve life at work for employees

The summer months are an ideal time for companies to carry out renovations in their offices and installations. This is a period when, with employees on holiday or working remotely, it is possible to make improvements or refurbish your offices, for example by repainting walls or rewiring to install LED lights to reduce your electricity bill in the coming months.

The quality of the employees’ workplace has an impact on the effectiveness of the company’s daily activity. Good lighting, a comfortable workstation and a pleasant working environment ensure that employees do their best for themselves and for the benefit of the company.

The presence of automatic doors at the entrances and in other areas of the building also plays an important role in this respect. The presence of intelligent entrances adds a modern, elegant and high-tech touch wherever they are installed. Having automatic doors or an automatic access control is an added value for the organisation’s employees, who benefit from working in a modern, state-of-the-art company.

Automatic doors improve perceptions of companies

Many companies are developing employer branding strategies for their employees and to help attract new talent. Having modern, technologically-advanced offices makes a good first impression on anyone looking for new employment opportunities and implies that it is a good place to work.

Manusa access control solutions for entrances to offices guarantee security inside the building, as well as recording employees’ working hours. In both cases, they are a beneficial addition for both the company and the workforce.

Maintenance and repair of automatic gates in residential areas

More and more estates and housing developments are opting to incorporate automatic doors at the main entrances to buildings. Many architects, builders and real estate developers include intelligent pedestrian accesses in their projects, which represent an added value for both residents and those wishing to buy or rent a home in a new area.

The presence of an automatic door at the entrance to a multi-block development or at the main entrance to a residential building allows barrier-free access, which is essential for people with reduced mobility, wheelchair users or families with a baby stroller.

In addition, its lock cannot be tampered with, which increases the security of the entrance to the building. It is undoubtedly a better solution than manual doors, as it adds a touch of modernity and prestige to the building and improves its energy efficiency.

The ideal automatic doors for residential areas are the standard sliding door and the telescopic sliding door. Both Manusa products offer accessibility, security, hygiene, design, and exclusivity for the community of neighbors where they are installed. They are an added value for any residential space and require maintenance to ensure optimum performance and extend their useful life. In addition, we also offer the option of automating manual swing gates. How can we repair intelligent accesses in a neighborhood?

The best automatic gate maintenance service

First, it is essential to ensure that no neighbor or inexperienced person makes any repairs. The door and any of its elements could suffer damage and lose their warranty.
