The Best Automatic Access Systems for Pet Shops

Millions of people around the world think of their pets as another member of the family. They use all kinds of resources to make sure their lives are better within the home.

The best places to find accessories for our pets are pet shops, which can be found in the streets of any city and in shopping malls. They sell products such as food, clothing, beds, collars, carriers, bowls, health and hygiene products or accessories of all kinds.

We must remember that customers will often bring their pet to the shop, and they require the greatest comfort. The shops work constantly on offering the best experience to the people and animals that enter the premises. A large space, with clean shelves, good prices and friendly staff will make owners of dogs, cats, birds, fish or tortoises not only shop but also come back again soon to purchase new products for their preferred animals.

Access to the pet shop is extremely important, as it will be the first thing customers see when they arrive. Automatic doors have become an element of innovation, design and good reputation in thousands of properties around the world. Having an intelligent access will improve several aspects such as energy efficiency, as there will be no sudden changes in temperature or unpleasant drafts, or the fight against viruses and bacteria because customers and staff will not have to touch the entrance and exit doors with their hands, thus avoiding infection.

The Best Automatic Doors for the Movement of Animals

The types of Manusa automatic doors for pet shops include:

As well as the entrance and exit, other areas that might also require automated access must also be considered. Manusa offers sliding doors with a panic break-out system, fire resistant, industrial or personnel control and access systems.

What to do if an automatic door doesn’t close?

One of the most common faults in intelligent accesses is when the automatic door does not close. This might be due to an accidental blow, poor installation, an electrical fault or because the routine technical inspections have not be carried out.

Like any technical element, automatic doors can stop working. This is why it is essential to have an after-sales technical service and use professionals to install the automatic doors.

At Manusa, we work alongside our customers in the design, manufacturing, installation and maintenance of any intelligent access.

Most common faults

Some causes, reasons and cases preventing a door from closing automatically might include the following:

  • The automatic door opens but does not close
  • The leaf moves slightly, stops and then opens again
  • The mechanism is blocked
  • An element is not correctly adjusted
  • The motor does not have enough power to move the glass leaves

In these cases -whether it is a sliding, swing, folding or another model of door- you must contact the technical service. After listening to the case, if it is a Manusa door, our professionals will solve the incident remotely and, if this is not possible, they will visit the site to assess the condition of the door components (drive unit, leaves, accessories, etc.) and provide the best solution to ensure the automatic door closes normally.

If the door does not fully close, the best advice and recommendation is to leave its handling to a professional. If not, you might damage it, which would be counter-productive.

Automatic doors with LED lighting, an innovative element to attract attention

LED lighting has been implemented in many places over recent years. From private homes to shops and retail areas, or public lighting in parks and streets. Thanks to their low consumption and long duration, among other characteristics, LED lights have meant a change in how life is lit up in many homes and cities around the world.

Many buildings have integrated this lighting into different rooms to improve the experience of the people working or living in them. An important innovation in terms of LED lights is the possibility of using them in accesses.

Automatic doors are extremely commonplace in thousands of buildings around the world. Properties such as shops, shopping malls, hospitals, restaurants or banks already have intelligent accesses to ensure the easy movement of people, to improve energy efficiency by avoiding sudden temperature changes, and to prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria because people do not have to touch the door with their hands to open or close it.

LED lighting can be integrated into the glass leaves of Manusa automatic sliding doors. This offers the automatic door a new dimension and makes the entrance to the building visually attractive to pedestrians. Interesting lighting effects can be achieved by engraving special glass and lighting it with LED strips.

The LED lighting system for automatic doors is ideal for decoration, advertising or signage in any building with automatic sliding doors that wants to attract the attention of those nearby. For example, for decoration using motifs or images associated with the corporate identity of a company, a sales campaign in a shop or to indicate the places to go to or the directions to take at the entrance to a hospital.

Yet another product to add to the innovative accessories for Manusa automatic doors in its commitment towards research and development in the technology used in its intelligent accesses.

The best automatic doors for houses

An increasing number of architects are designing residential areas and private homes that include technological elements to make life easier for those who decide to live in them.

Building companies and estate agents of semi-detached, terraced or detached houses launch their developments in order to attract the attention and interest of families that need more space for their children to grow, or couples looking for a place where they can enjoy their private lives and downtime.

As well as the size of the plot, the characteristics presented include the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, or whether or not it has a pool or solar panels on the roof. Also important is the presence of automatic doors in the home.

Intelligent accesses can be installed both outside and inside houses.

The automatic accesses designed, manufactured and installed by Manusa provide the best results in terms of accessibility, security, exclusivity and design. Thanks to the customisation of each project, the automatic doors ensure the easy movement of people with reduced mobility, such as the elderly or people in wheelchairs, or in specific situations such as when pushing a pram or carrying weight with our hands full.

Houses with domotics and biometrics

Thanks to cutting edge technology systems, such as biometrics and domotics, the automatic opening and closure of the doors is controlled by voice, facial recognition or smartphone. Security reaches new heights, as the entrance to the house will never be left open by accident, thus avoiding unwanted intrusions.

The effectiveness of automatic doors in retail areas during the sales period

Once the Christmas holidays have come to an end, large shopping malls and shops of all kinds start their sales period, which will run for several weeks and is used to give a new boost to the volume of sales. This retail practice is not only restricted to January, although it is extremely popular and a model in many countries at this time of the year.

Although a great many gifts and products are now purchased and sold through e-commerce, millions of people around the world will visit retail areas during this period to find a product at a cheaper price than before and to save some money at the start of the new year.

People will most likely enter and leave retail areas with carrier bags in their hands. There are several actions that the retail area can take to improve the customer experience in the shopping mall or in the shops and to avoid crowds.

Automatic doors ensure the easy movement of people

Manusa automatic doors help customers enter and exit the shopping mall easily, prevent sudden temperature changes, and avoid people touching the doors with their hands to open or close them, thus stopping the spread of any virus through touch.

Energy Efficiency in Automatic Revolving Doors during Winter

As the cold weather arrives, many buildings suffer brusque changes in temperature that impact the electricity bill, negatively affecting the accounts of any company.

If it is an old building, many companies hire an architect to find the best solution to prevent the winter cold or the summer heat from entering the building. This is achieved, to a large extent, by placing insulating products in building walls and by replacing windows.

However, depending on the characteristics of the building, very often the desired thermal insulation is not achieved. One element that can be changed in order to make the building energy efficient is the access door.

Automatic doors prevent a door from being left open through oversight, allowing cold air to enter in winter and hot air during summer, while letting heated or cool air-conditioned air escape.

Automatic Door with Thermal and Acoustic Insulation in Winter

One of the best solutions for buildings such as hospitals, airports, hotels, shopping centres, restaurants or offices is the revolving door. It is a type of door whose features help maintain a constant temperature inside the building. During low winter temperatures, it maintains the building warm, so customers and employees remain comfortable.

It is also a big help for people walking with their hands full after making purchases in large stores, when arriving to a hotel with their suitcases or in high-transit places, where the flow of people must be maintained at entrances and exits. This also helps to prevent overcrowding at times when it is necessary to maintain social distance between people.

Do you need to install revolving doors that improve thermal and acoustic insulation in a building? Contact us now and we will help you in the design, manufacture and installation of this modern and state-of-the-art 21st century smart access.

The Importance of a Capacity Control System to Prevent Crowds at Christmas

Cities are covered in lights, store windows filled with the Three Kings and Santa Claus, Christmas carols are playing in stores and shopping centres, and thousands of people carry bags laden with presents.

The Christmas holidays are on the minds of everyone in the weeks leading up to 25th December. It is a time of the year when we make the most purchases to present good wishes and cheer to family and friends.

Even though it is true that e-commerce is extremely important in these last days of the year, thousands of people still move through the cities to make purchases in physical stores.

In the most populated cities and the largest shopping centres, it is necessary to control the capacity to prevent crowds. Even more so in these times with the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, when health authorities recommend that people socially distance to prevent virus transmission.

COVID-19 Safety whilst Christmas Shopping

Thanks to the Manusa capacity control system, it is possible to know in real time the number of people in a building or shopping centre. This helps to improve the experience for customers, who can make their purchases stress- free, without feeling overcrowded.

Amongst its many features, we could highlight that it is modular system, whose functionality can be augmented depending on the needs of each customer and location; it can be connected through a data network and HDMI; it is highly reliable, with safe and specific results; and it is highly innovative, as it features sensors linked to the internet of things (IoT) and 3D technology.

At Manusa, we are working so that society and scientists can overcome coronavirus. We contribute to this aim with our smart access and capacity control systems. Together, we will stop transmission. Contact us now to install capacity control systems in your business, shop or retail space.

Automatic Access for Shopping Centres and Department Stores

Christmas is arriving, and thousands of physical and online businesses prepare to meet the high demand for goods, typical at this time of year. It is a time in which brands and companies increase their sales volume and turnover exponentially.

These shopping centres and stores receive a large influx of customers for a period of several weeks. Despite a large boom in online shopping, trips to actual shopping centres is a tradition for many people. Many families meet at Christmas, and visit shopping centres together for a stroll, to see the lights, to do some window-shopping and to buy gifts for their loved ones.

During this COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, it is very important for both customers and businesses to comply with the guidelines provided by health authorities for each specific place. Ventilation, the use of hand sanitizer and social distancing are already part of the daily routine for millions of people.

Manusa helps control virus transmission thanks to their smart accesses installed in large stores, shopping centres and shops. Automatic doors do not need to be touched by the customers to open or close them, thus preventing hands from being a source of transmission. Most businesses that have opted for this type of access use automatic sliding doors, that allow the fluid transit of people when entering or leaving the building, avoiding the crowded bottlenecks that can be so dangerous during the pandemic period we are going through.

How can the capacity in shopping centres be controlled during the Christmas period?

On the other hand, a capacity control system can be installed in large shopping centres. These help the security services to know in real time the number of people in the building, maintaining customer peace of mind when there is a large influx of visitors at specific times.

Christmas time is a happy time of the year, and at Manusa we actively contribute to ensure it remains that way. Do you require more information regarding our products for the commercial sector? Contact us now.

Automatic Doors for Hairdressers’ and Beauty Salons

One of the most important features of automatic doors is the convenience they provide to customers of any establishment. Also, thanks to their minimalistic design, they create a sensation of spaciousness and well-being as it facilitates the transit of people.

These are features that perfectly encompass the personal care, cosmetics and beauty sector. When we go to a beauty clinic, a hair salon, a barbers’ or a massage centre, we hope to feel comfortable from the first moment we arrive. A door that opens when we arrive provides a sense of welcome and a positive image to the customer.

This type of smart access provides more space to the premises where it is installed, enabling the owner of the establishment to install more posts to carry out their professional tasks, more shelves with products, a larger reception desk or more seats in the waiting area.

The Best Smart Access for Barbers’ and Personal Care Premises

We have mentioned the advantages of automatic doors in beauty clinics, nail salons, hairdressers’ or massage centres. But, what are the best smart accesses to install?

Without doubt, the ideal one is the Manusa standard automatic sliding door. It is specifically designed to guarantee a low visual impact and the best integration within different architectural ensembles where it is installed. Its aesthetic elegance and excellent functionality are the reasons why it has been installed in a large number of beauty salons and hairdressers’. It can feature a bi-parting opening or a side opening, depending on the needs of the premises.

Once it has been designed, manufactured and installed by Manusa, we can choose the opening and closing speed of the glass leaves, connect it to a fire alarm, add an automatic lock or operate it by remote control.

Automatic doors offer numerous advantages that improve the customers’ visit and the day-to- day work of the employees working in the beauty sector. Would you like to install it in your premises? Contact us now.

Manusa During Coronavirus: Innovation and Efficiency

These last two years have been marred by the health crisis caused by COVID-19, which has had an effect not only at personal level, but also across many industries and sectors.

In spite of that, here at Manusa we have continued working on innovative solutions, on smart access systems and automatic doors that help people and companies in day-to-day activities under any type of circumstances.

With automatic doors, we help reduce transmission in areas and buildings, as people do not need to touch them with their hands in order to access or leave a room or building. This improves confidence in society when accessing, for example, a shop, a restaurant or a hospital.

Controlling Limited Capacity Due to Coronavirus and Preventing Transmission

We also have other solutions available, such as capacity control, allowing shopping centres, cafés and large crowded areas to have real-time control over the number of people within a single space. Social distance is maintained and safety is increased when enjoying our leisure time.

To prevent COVID-19 transmission, constant ventilation is required in enclosed spaces. Windows are usually kept open; however, in many buildings it is not possible to open them, as is often the case, for example, in offices in large skyscrapers, or in windowless building designs such as those found in shopping centres or supermarkets.

In these cases, it is vital that the doors remain open. If the building has manual doors, these can be closed by a gust of wind or due to oversight. When installing automatic doors that open and close using a remote control, we can ensure the space is constantly ventilated, as the doors can be locked in the open position.

At Manusa, we are continually working on building innovation and efficiency. Do you need to improve your working environment against COVID? Contact us now and we will offer you the best smart-access solutions.
