Automation

Simplicity for people

Automation can turn a space into an experience, lifting the impact and efficiency of technology to a higher level, whilst providing total building control.

It works with any or all of our technologies to enhance any space while simplifying control for the end user. From the simple convenience of motion-activated lighting to a complex combination of multiple technologies creating a fully immersive experience, Hutchi can design sophisticated automation control into any scheme or project, with integrated technology services.

Automation

Full automation, or radical simplification

Integrated technology services can provide a virtually ‘hands-free’ experience for the end user, automating lighting, audio and other technologies to respond to movement, noise levels, time of day or ambient light.

More complex applications can be grouped and coordinated within an automated control system. We can combine controls into a single interface like an iPad, for example, allowing a user to trigger or orchestrate an immersive performance, such as an exercise class or a museum installation, and offering total building control from a single source.

Automation can be used to create a chain of actions and triggers, activating electronic signs, for example, or ‘celebration’ light and sound effects for a winning move in a competitive social space.
