A Systematic Thermal Spa Visit: Digital Locker System at Mineraltherme Böblingen

(eap) A new, radio-networked locker system is being used at Mineraltherme Böblingen since the end of May this year. With the “SAFE-O-TRONIC^® CLW (Current Lock Wireless)” system from Schulte-Schlagbaum AG, the facility is relying on a digital solution for better orientation and utilization control in the changing area. This is based on 872 electronic lockers from the “LSW 600” series, which are already in use in the spa.

At the heart of the current expansion is a digital guidance system that shows the free locker areas determined in real time on a central information display in front of the changing area. Guests are thus guided dynamically and in multiple languages to available lockers – a contribution to visitor guidance that should ensure more even usage, especially during peak times. “The CLW display automatically guides our guests to the free lockers. This not only ensures more peace and quiet and more relaxed guests, but also takes a lot of pressure off our staff, as they no longer have to explain the routes to guests,” explains Wolfgang Hermle, Managing Director of Mineraltherme Böblingen.

Employees can also keep an eye on all the important parameters for system capacity at all times via Wi-Fi on their tablets. © Schulte-Schlagbaum AG The system also has benefits for staff: Technical and checkout staff receive an up-to-date overview of the locking status, battery charge and maintenance instructions for the individual lockers. “All relevant parameters for operation and maintenance are in view at all times.This is a decisive advantage, especially from a maintenance perspective,” continues Hermle. The data is web-based and can also be accessed via Wi-Fi-enabled devices – no additional app is required. “The constant battery status display alone enables our facility manager to work much more efficiently and in line with requirements,” adds Hermle. The system uses Bluetooth low-energy technology for energy-efficient data transmission and can be integrated into existing SAG cabinet systems. ■
