How Different Businesses Can Use a Commercial Automation System

Enhance the Experience for Your Staff & Customers

If you’re a business owner in Des Moines, ask yourself: how is your current technology serving you? If you own a retail space or restaurant, is audio evenly distributed across the building? Is it easy to control? Or is the sound system so old that you can’t stream music?

Commercial technology encompasses far more than audio and video. When you own a commercial automation system like Crestron, you can control lighting, security, HVAC, and conferencing solutions all from one interface. All businesses can benefit from commercial automation, from office buildings to hospitality spaces.

Is your business’s technology up to par? Continue reading to see how a Crestron automation system can help your specific Iowa business.

Offices & Schools

Both corporate offices and educational institutions run more efficiently with an automation system. For instance, you can share information across campus through digital signage, which you’ll update through the same system that controls lighting, shading, security, and HVAC. In conference rooms and classrooms, users can tap the control panel to instantly lower the projector, wirelessly share content, and dim the lights.

Salons

Not everyone loves going to the salon or barbershop; it can be uncomfortable, especially if it’s someone’s first time at your business. A commercial automation system creates an inviting atmosphere with multi-room music and tunable lighting in one interface. You’ll adjust the LED lighting color and brightness so that everyone looks their best. And with hardwired in-ceiling speakers, you can play mellow or upbeat music that won’t lose connection.

Gyms

Gyms are a status symbol for workout enthusiasts. Is your gym the most coveted spot in town? An automation system helps you leverage AV and other technology for a superior fitness experience. For instance, you’ll easily control a wall of TVs from your system’s interface. Play ESPN on multiple screens with a tap of a button, then switch the speakers to a hip-hop playlist. You can adjust color-tunable lights for a fun atmosphere, then close the entire gym at night through one command.

Restaurants & Bars

People love visiting restaurants and bars not just for the cuisine, but for the experience. A multi-room audio system delivers high-fidelity sound to create an inviting atmosphere. And with a series of speakers, you won’t have to crank the volume for even coverage. Through your smart system, your team can automate lights to gradually dim and warm in the evening, establishing a cozy date-night setting. And if you manage a sports bar, you control multiple TV screens at once through your phone, tablet, or remote.

Hotels

Managing a hotel isn’t easy—but Crestron automation can help! Audio, displays, HVAC, lighting, shading, and more are all easily controlled from a single system. In guests’ rooms, they enjoy motorized shades and tunable lighting that they can control from a wall-mounted touch screen (or with a voice assistant!).
