Luxury wellness spa pampers with PLCs

A five-star hotel on Germany’s Baltic coast is using high tech industrial controllers from Mitsubishi Electric to run its luxury spa and wellness centre.

Whilst ordinary saunas can get by with just a few switches and a three-point temperature controller, modern spas need sophisticated control systems and operating terminals. At the spa centre of the Yachthafenresidenz Hohe Düne hotel, state-of-the-art control systems unobtrusively help to create a stylish atmosphere and enhance the wellbeing of the discerning guests. 

The Yachthafenresidenz at the entry to Rostock’s harbour has its own marina with moorings for 750 vessels, 368 rooms and suites, six restaurants, five bars, its own shopping mall and a congress and conference centre for events with up to 700 participants.

The wellness centre offers guests a wide selection of saunas; steam baths, massage jet showers and an ice machine provide invigorating alternations between heat and cold. Aromas, light effects and music complement the experience. The control systems work unobtrusively in the background to keep all the spa equipment and facilities operating perfectly. The system monitors the fully-automated Jacuzzis and hydro-massage jet showers, regulates the humidity and temperature of the various saunas and baths, controls the steam generators, ventilation fans, water and aroma pumps, adjusts the electric heating and hot water supply system and even takes care of providing suitable mood music and lighting, complete with impressive sound and light effects.
