Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing building access control systems lack flexibility, security, and automation, particularly in densely populated areas, and often require complex installation processes that increase construction costs and time.
Innovation Solution
A building wall module with a sliding door system and a secondary door system, both controlled by an electromechanical drive unit and control device, allowing for separate access control and adjustable dimensions, integrated with an electrical interface for efficient connection to building systems, enabling flexible use cases such as entry, mail, and goods delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a traditional door system is installed in a building wall, then access control is provided, but the construction time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The door system is segmented into modular components: a door unit that can be separately manufactured and installed, and a wall opening structure. This segmentation allows the door system to be pre-assembled with access control mechanisms without delaying wall construction, thereby reducing overall construction time while maintaining reliable access control functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The door unit with access control mechanisms is prepared and pre-assembled before installation in the building wall. This preliminary action allows the access control system to be ready and functional from the outset, avoiding delays during the construction phase and reducing the time required for on-site assembly.
2Reliability
If a door system with access control is installed, then security is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The door system is divided into distinct functional modules: the door unit containing access control mechanisms, the wall opening structure, and the surrounding wall elements. This segmentation simplifies the overall system by allowing each component to be designed, manufactured, and maintained independently, reducing complexity while enhancing security through specialized access control features.
Solution Approach 2:
The door unit is designed as a universal component that can be integrated into various wall configurations and building types. This multi-functionality reduces device complexity by using a standardized door unit with access control mechanisms that can serve multiple purposes: security access, fire safety egress, and architectural design flexibility, thereby avoiding the need for custom complex systems for each application.
3Loss of time
If a modular building wall module is used, then construction time is reduced, but the adaptability to different building requirements decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The modular building wall module incorporates adjustable and reconfigurable elements that allow adaptation to different building requirements. The door unit can be positioned at various locations within the wall opening, and the wall opening dimensions can be adjusted to accommodate different door sizes and configurations. This dynamic adaptability enables the same modular module to satisfy diverse architectural and functional requirements while maintaining rapid construction installation.
Solution Approach 2:
The modular wall module is designed as a universal system that can be adapted to multiple building types and requirements. The standardized door unit and wall opening structure can accommodate various door sizes, access control mechanisms, and architectural styles. This universality allows the same modular module to be used across different projects without requiring custom-designed wall structures, thereby reducing construction time while maintaining high adaptability to specific building requirements.

AI summary
A building wall module for partitioning a first region from a second region has a frame structure with inner and outer wall panels and lateral fastening devices for connecting the building wall module to a building. In addition, a sliding door system and a secondary door system are integrated in the frame structure, wherein the secondary door system is arranged separated from the sliding door system and can be controlled separately from the control device of the sliding door system. An electrical interface device connects the building wall module to a building system of a building.
