Introduction
For today’s hotels, guest satisfaction and operational efficiency are top priorities. Traditional wired BMS (Building Management Systems) are often expensive, complex, and difficult to retrofit in existing buildings. This is why Hotel Room Management (HRM) solutions powered by ZigBee and IoT technology are gaining strong traction across North America and Europe.
As an experienced IoT and ZigBee solution provider, OWON delivers both standard devices and customized ODM services, ensuring hotels can upgrade to smart, energy-efficient, and guest-friendly environments with ease.
