Changzhou Howard Johnson Kaina Hotel Selects Eversafe for Integrated Room Control and RFID Access System
2009/10/01
On September 30, 2009, Changzhou Eversafe Electronic Lock Co Ltd secured a prestigious contract to supply the comprehensive room control and all-in-one card system for the Changzhou Howard Johnson Kaina Hotel. This major project involves the installation of 430 advanced sets of integrated systems, marking another significant victory for Eversafe in the high-end hospitality sector. The selection of Eversafe underscores our capability to meet the exacting standards of top-tier international hotel management groups.
The Changzhou Howard Johnson Kaina Hotel is managed by Howard Johnson International, a subsidiary of the Wyndham Hotel Group. With a rich history spanning 76 years, Wyndham was ranked as the second largest hotel management group globally in 2006 and held the world number-one position in total room inventory. Since entering the Chinese market in 1999, Howard Johnson has experienced rapid growth, expanding to over 60 affiliated hotels by 2007, and establishing itself as a highly competitive force in the industry.
Before committing to the Changzhou location, the Howard Johnson team conducted extensive scientific research, analyzing the local economic development, consumer habits, and the strategic value of the project site. Their decision to establish a presence in the Kaina Business Plaza stands as a strong testament to the project viability and the high expectations for operational excellence.
Located on the north side of Xixin Bridge in the city center, the Kaina Business Plaza is an architectural marvel standing 56 stories tall and reaching a height of 228 meters, making it the tallest building in Changzhou. Its prime location offers convenient transportation access and a superior geographical position. Combined with the strong financial backing of the investors, these factors provide a solid foundation for the future success of the Howard Johnson hotel. Such a landmark property demands a locking and control solution that matches its stature in terms of security, reliability, and technological sophistication.
To meet the rigorous requirements of a Wyndham managed property, Eversafe deployed its state-of-the-art integrated solution featuring advanced Hotel RFID Locks and a sophisticated room control system.
Key Components of the Deployment:
- Advanced Hotel RFID Locks: Providing secure keyless entry using durable RFID technology, these locks ensure seamless guest access while preventing unauthorized entry. The system supports high-speed transaction processing, essential for a busy urban hotel.
- All-in-One Card System: Unifying access control for guest rooms, elevators, and public areas onto a single RFID card, enhancing guest convenience and operational efficiency.
- Intelligent Room Control: The integrated system allows for centralized management of lighting, air conditioning, and power within guest rooms, enabling energy saving modes when rooms are unoccupied and personalized comfort settings for guests.
- Comprehensive Management Software: Offering real-time monitoring, detailed audit trails, and remote configuration capabilities to support the hotel engineering and security teams.
Winning the bid against potential global competitors required more than just hardware; it demanded proof of international quality and reliability.
- International Certifications: Eversafe's track record of achieving UL certification USA in 2001, CE certification Europe in 2003, and ISO 9002 quality system certification demonstrated our ability to manufacture products that satisfy the strict safety and quality protocols of American hotel chains like Howard Johnson.
- Technical Expertise: Our deep understanding of the integration requirements for large-scale business complexes allowed us to propose a robust solution tailored to the unique architecture of the 56-story Kaina Plaza.
- Proven Reliability: The decision by a global giant like Wyndham to trust Eversafe with 430 rooms highlights our reputation for delivering stable, high-performance systems that minimize maintenance issues and maximize guest satisfaction.
The successful partnership with Changzhou Howard Johnson Kaina Hotel reinforces Eversafe's status as a premier domestic manufacturer capable of serving international brands. By providing a seamless blend of Hotel RFID Locks and intelligent room controls, we have empowered the hotel to offer a modern, secure, and energy efficient environment for its guests.
This project serves as a benchmark for future collaborations with international hotel groups in China, showcasing that local innovation combined with global standards can deliver world-class results. As Changzhou continues to develop as a key economic hub, Eversafe remains committed to securing its landmarks with cutting-edge technology.
