Less emission, more control

On the automatic door and window market, the focus is on energy efficiency and safety. Manufacturers are trying to minimise energy consumption by using modern, smart motion sensors. Airslide is an automatic door combined with an air curtain, installed at the entrance of a building, which significantly improves air quality and air conditioning efficiency while reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs.

In case of windows and doors, manufacturers are using advanced, intelligent motion sensors to minimise energy use

“Our company offers all this in an integrated unit, which provides great advantages in terms of both technology and operation. Our products can be diagnosed and parameterised remotely, so we can usually meet customer needs without having to visit the site. This results in significant cost savings”,

emphasises Árpád Jámbor, managing director of FAAC Hungary Kft.

Electronic shelf labels, self-service checkouts and artificial intelligence-driven store functions are now an integral part of daily operations

Accessible but not unprotected

In retail trade product security is one of the key issues today, the most visible manifestation of which is the growing number of gates installed at store entrances and exits. These are of great help for retailers in ensuring that shoppers leave the store through controlled points, such as the checkout or customer service area.

“With the rise of self-service checkouts a new need emerged for controlled exit from self-service areas. This practice is now widely used: after shopping, the exit gate can be opened using the barcode or QR code on the receipt”,

informs László Lőrincz, customer and business development manager of WANZL Magyarország Kft.

Wanzl offers a wide range of entry and exit systems, from traditional mechanical gates to electric swing models.

At the time of COVID, the use of bread displays with glass doors and automatic closing was spreading to meet high hygiene standards

we learn from Attila Kolonics, owner and managing director of ART MATCH Hungária Kft.

Domestic production, international presence

The Rotte Group has been present on the shopfitting market for more than 30 years. Their activities include fitting out food stores, supermarkets, hypermarkets, DIY stores, filling stations and fashion stores. At their Hungarian headquarters in Tata and Tatabánya they have established the country’s biggest shop fitting factory, where metal shelves, bread and vegetable racks, and promotional displays are manufactured using robotics and laser technology solutions.

“The market has changed in recent years: new hypermarkets are no longer opening, so the focus has shifted to modernising existing stores. There is now more floor space devoted to displaying fresh produce, especially in the bakery and fruit and vegetable sections”,

says managing director József Illés. Rotte’s portfolio also contains humidified and refrigerated vegetable islands.

Store interiors are increasingly focusing on the fresh produce department, which not only transforms stores aesthetically, but also creates a new customer experience
