Automation, as the name suggests, refers to the automatic execution of tasks via the use of robots, computers or remote technology. While most factories and businesses employ automation in some form or the other, automation technology is slowly finding application in our day-to-day life as well. In fact, the latest trend in the world of automated technology is automatic shutters.

Automated or motorised shutters are essentially aluminium roller shutters that come with a motor. This means you won’t have to manually operate them by yourself, but instead, with a remote control or switchboard. Automatic shutters can be used at home, in a factory, businesses, warehouses, etc. and are the simplest way to create residences and facilities that are functional and well-protected. Here are some benefits of switching over to an automation system of shutters.

Easy to operate:

Regular roller shutters require you to operate them manually.  A lot of time is spent rolling them up and down. With a simple motor in place, motorised shutters are easy to use with the help of a remote. You will be saving a lot of time for yourself and your employees. In fact, since the speed of the automatic shutter is controlled by the motor, you can avoid unwanted accidents. Some motorised shutters are even programmed to either stop moving or to roll back up if they encounter an obstacle.

Durable:

Automatic shutters are manufactured using steel, aluminium or a combination of both. This makes them highly durable and able to withstand extreme changes in temperature, harsh weather conditions, etc. Automatic rollers can be used to fight these conditions. The combination of a motorised roller shutter that has been galvanised is sure to be more durable and functional than standard roller shutters.

Provides protection:

Everyone deserves the right to safety. Whether it is your home, business or facility, your biggest concern will always be the protection and safety of your loved ones, valuable, etc. Automatic shutters are the easiest way to provide protection to your entries and exit ways and will act as immediate barriers to crime. Since automation saves time, these shutters will be the difference between intruders breaking into your premises or not.

In fact, automatic shutters can also provide protection in times of an emergency. In case of a fire or an earthquake, evacuation will be much easier with automatic shutters, as they would be able to open and close faster and wouldn’t require human operation. If there is a fire in one part of the building, these shutters could cordon off the section and prevent the fire from spreading further.

Privacy:

Fully automatic shutters will provide you with complete privacy, whether installed in your home or business facility. Roller shutters work exceptionally well in a residential setting particularly if you live in a one-storey house or a penthouse. Once you lower the shutter, you have instant privacy. Factories and warehouses will also find application for motorised shutters – to segregate two departments, to maintain hygiene in industries like agriculture, food production, chemicals, etc.

Energy efficient:

Because automatic shutters are galvanised, they are heat and cold resistant. While these features hold good for standard rolling shutters, motorised rolling shutters can help temperature controlled facilities maintain the required level of heat or cold. Cold winds won’t be able to enter your home or facility, neither will the summer heat. This is owed to the speed at which automatic shutters operate. This will save you a lot of money in the long run with regard to energy costs as you won’t require additional air conditioning or heating.

Automatic shutters are a valuable investment for both homes and businesses as both can benefit from the various advantages of these shutters. Motorised rolling shutters make it extremely easy for you to lock up at the end of a day, increasing your efficiency, security and convenience. The kind of automatic roller door you require is based on the size of the entrance, the speed at which you require it to operate at and where the application of these shutters are needed.
