Room Automation with the WAGO Application flexROOM^®

To manage room automation, BAUER Elektroanlagen opted for the WAGO Application flexROOM^®.

Scalable and flexible: Suitable for a wide variety of building requirements
Comprehensive functions: Lighting, shading and room climate control
Energy efficiency: Meets energy efficiency class A per DIN EN 15232
Sustainability: Supports green building certifications such as DGNB and LEED

Room Automation Integrated into the Electrical Installation

Room automation is integrated into the electrical subdistribution. Lighting is controlled via DALI, and sun protection via SMI. Room temperature control is provided via a cooling sail and analogue‑controlled valves.

Making Electrical Installations Pluggable with WAGO

BAUER Elektroanlagen relies on WINSTA^® for electrical installation.

Plug-and-play principle: Pre‑assembled cables easily connected on site
Time savings: Fast installation without complex wiring
Error prevention: Reduced wiring errors due to standardized connectors
Easy maintenance: Simple rewiring of connectors
Additional benefit: As a fixed pluggable installation, WINSTA^® eliminates recurring inspections of workplace outlets → uninterrupted workflows
