This latest solution integrates advanced AI algorithms with real-time weather and customer flow data to dynamically adjust door settings, significantly reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint.

According to the company, Ecologic represents a major leap forward in sustainable building management. By intelligently balancing door operation parameters such as hold-open times and door speeds, Ecologic enables energy-efficiency without compromising on customer comfort. This innovative approach can save a street-facing, medium-sized retail store on average 14,000 kWh per year, translating to substantial cost savings and reduced environmental impact.

"Ecologic is a testament to our commitment to innovation and sustainability. By leveraging AI technology, we can provide our customers with a solution that not only enhances their operational efficiency but also contributes to a greener planet," said Floris van Hooft, VP Marketing & Digital Services at Assa Abloy Entrance Systems. "We are excited to see the positive impact Ecologic will have on both our customers' bottom line and the environment."

Ecologic builds on the Assa Abloy Insight platform, which provides customers with the ability to manage and monitor their entrance doors from anywhere, at any time. This platform connects the doors in a facility to the cloud and allows Ecologic to use local conditions to dynamically adjust door settings.

Ecologic utilises AI to dynamically adjust door settings based on temperature, weather and customer traffic.  In terms of  energy efficiency it can help reduce energy costs and carbon footprint by minimizing unnecessary door open times, and, by optimising hold open times and door speed, air is more effectively exchanged, stabilising temperature and reducing noise offering an improved indoor environmental quality. Other benefits include enhanced lifespan as the door is only opening when necessary which can reduce door wear and tear by 2-7%, extending the operational life.

In addition Ecologic is ISO 27001 certified, ensuring the highest standards of security for the cloud-based AI solution.

Ecologic is currently compatible with Assa Abloy SL500 doors manufactured after 2016, ensuring that a wide range of businesses can benefit from the energy-saving and customer experience enhancements provided by Ecologic.
