Existing doors. Digital access.
In a project with Pranke-Plitt Möbelbau, cunnect supported the selection of a digital retrofit solution for existing doors. The work centred on coordinating the existing door technology, mechanical connection and intended operation. Our contribution was the technical selection and assembly of suitable components, demonstrating the system understanding required even in a clearly defined advisory and supply package.
The challenge
Digital functions can only be retrofitted meaningfully when they suit the existing door arrangement. Evaluating a single product is not enough: mechanical conditions, compatibility and operating preferences must be considered together.
The project required a retrofit solution compatible with the existing doors. cunnect’s task was to select suitable components and assess how they would work together.
Particular attention was paid to the relationship between the existing mechanism and the added digital function. A suitable combination needs to account for this interface so that individual components form a coherent solution.
Technical solution
cunnect assembled the components appropriate for the intended retrofit. Selection considered the mechanical connection alongside the available digital operating options, treating them as parts of the same task.
The focus was on a technically consistent combination. Suitable complementary parts and coordination of the selected variants were as important as the digital function itself.
Technical selection and the combination of components formed the specific contribution. This established a coordinated foundation for the intended retrofit and clarified the requirements for its participating components.
The project demonstrates the value of careful preparation. Understanding the starting point and considering compatibility provides a much stronger foundation for a suitable modernisation of an existing installation.
