Geze, a leading Germany-based developer of construction systems for doors, windows and safety technology, unveiled its new building automation product, Geze Cockpit, at Zak World of Facades Cairo held in Egypt.

Zak World of Façades is an international conference series on façade design and engineering. In its first edition in Egypt, the event discussed the latest innovations and challenges in the construction industry pertaining to the building envelope and showcased the latest technological solutions.

Geze was a major sponsor of the Cairo event which drew more than 300 delegates.

According to Charles Constantin, the managing director of Geze Middle East, the Geze Cockpit building automation system is smart, secure and boasts efficient control of building technology.

“The unique complete solution is a multifunctional, centrally controlled swing door system with an automated and a manual door leaf. With the ‘robust’, award-winning Powerturn drive and tried-and-trusted Geze door closer technology, the door system combines accessible door control, emergency exit protection, fire protection, increased burglar resistance, complete protection when passing the door and remote monitoring,” he explains.

The universal drive design across both door leaves is a visual highlight, he adds.

Geze smart building solutions aim to provide automated and networked building infrastructure solutions to make modern buildings more comfortable, secure and ultimately reduce energy consumption.

“With a lot of research going into developing this, we are confident that Geze’s smart solutions for doors and window automation and a future of facades will be well received in the region,” he says.
