GEZE creates coordinated system solutions that combine individual functions and security requirements in one intelligent system. Its latest innovations are the new building automation system GEZE Cockpit and interface modules for integrating GEZE products into networking solutions, which turn buildings into Smart Buildings.

At BAU 2019 (to be held from 14 - 19 Jan 2019 at Munich Exhibition Centre), GEZE will display systems and solutions that support customers and partners in all stages of the building lifecycle from building planning and professional solutions to services. BAU visitors can also look forward to the 'look and feel' of the GEZE booth (Hall B1, Booth 538-539) where they can chat with the company reps and discover new things.

GEZE will showcase automatic solutions that communicate openly and intelligently on the basis of the BACnet and KNX open communication protocols. The GEZE Cockpit building automation system, in combination with interface modules and automatic products, will be one of the highlights. The system is constantly being developed, and the latest software version has a new, more intuitive user interface and additional features such as alarm settings.

Another highlight is a new development for the reliable ECdrive sliding door solution. The combination of a drive and a newly developed, thermally separated profile, offers improved running character and easier installation. Moreover, a reduced height for the drive cover and the fine-framed profile ensure that the design is discreet and attractive. GEZE will also be presenting a new generation of automatic motor locks with integrated motor lock control unit.

In window technology, GEZE will showcase a new interface module that enables automatic windows to be protected intelligently with sensors. It can be combined with all drives from the GEZE IQ window-drive series. A new compact control panel for particularly quick and easy installation will also be seen at its booth.

New developments in door technology will see a new smoke switch control unit with a vertically adjustable telescopic function that ensures that smoke inlets can be positioned easily in difficult lintel situations. The new TS 5000 SoftClose overhead door closer will also be on display: depending on requirements, a latching action can be set, or the door leaf can be slowed down to the last opening degree. However, the door will safely be pulled shut with the same amount of power - even in difficult environmental conditions.

The hold-open system program with the new FA GC 170 wireless extension is even more discreet, and safer: as a result, cable connections can now be replaced by wireless – a welcome solution, even for retrofitting. The GEZE wireless extension was honoured at the ICONIC AWARDS 2018: Innovative Architecture and the German Design Award 2019. Furthermore, a new automatic locking concept for manual sliding wall systems (M SW) makes operation even safer and easier - for example, in high-end retail construction.

A further highlight is the new version of the GEZE ActiveStop door damper fitted on the door frame – including a live installation at the GEZE booth. The system ensures the controlled, damped opening and closing of room doors and, as a result, creates an entirely new convenience. This version fitted on the frame can simply be adhered into position, and then removed again.

As an internationally operating company with production sites in Germany, Serbia, China and the Iberian Peninsula, GEZE offers country-specific solutions. The GEZE Powerturn swing door system is also available as an underfloor operator, as a version specially developed for the British market. The entire door automation is accommodated virtually invisibly in the floor and in the wall. Doors with a weight of up to 125 kg and a width of up to 1250 mm can be moved. The underfloor version is especially suitable for environments with particularly high aesthetic aspirations, or for use with glass doors.

An electric strike, specially developed to meet the demands of the Scandinavian market, is also a part of the exhibition, same as are products manufactured at the GEZE production site in China for the Asian market: items on display will include solutions from the fields of smoke and heat extraction (RWA), floor springs, and sliding door drives.

From the early planning stages with GEZE BIM objects, to individual service packages and training sessions, to maintenance services, GEZE networks all the customers and partners involved in the project throughout the entire building life cycle.

GEZE is one of the leaders for door, window and safety technology products and systems with its offerings of optimum solutions that combine functionality and security with comfort and design. GEZE door closers open up numerous technical and visual options. Every day millions of people go through doors equipped with the overhead door closers from the TS 5000 series and enjoy the barrier-free convenience of automatic door systems, e.g. the Slimdrive and Powerturn lines. Its integrated all-glass design systems are highly aesthetic products.

GEZE’s wide product range for window and ventilation technology includes complete “intelligent” smoke and heat exhaust solutions (RWA) and a comprehensive selection of door systems for RWA air supply solutions for preventative fire protection. GEZE’s safety technology includes escape and rescue route solutions, lock technology and access control systems.
