Dormakaba receives two prizes at the Iconic Award 2023
Dormakaba has been honoured for two of its systems at the Iconic Award 2023. Both the EntriWorX EcoSystem door system and the Argus V60 sensor barrier received a so-called Winner.
The Rümlang-based company dormakaba, which specialises in building access management, has won two awards at the Iconic Award 2023: Innovative Architecture, according to a media release. The EntriWorX EcoSystem door system and the Argus V60 sensor lock were each honoured with a winner in the Product-Building Technologies category. The awards ceremony took place on 4 October at BMW Welt in Munich.
The EntriWorX EcoSystem is an innovative hardware and software application that supports the planning, installation and commissioning of access solutions along the building creation process and thus optimises the building planning process, according to dormakaba’s description. Architects, planners, fabricators and operators can access the same planning data for a door in every performance phase. Planning processes, installation procedures and operation would be simplified by the minimisation of door configurations and the digital networking of components.
Regarding the new Argus V60 sensor barrier, the company points to the compactness of the model, which offers safety and efficiency in the smallest of spaces. Thanks to modern sensor technology, the sensor barrier gives architects and users more freedom in personal protection and separation detection. Argus V60 is one of the smallest full-featured sensor barriers on the market. RFID readers for transponders or tags, barcode scanners or escape route components can be integrated.
At the award ceremony in Munich, Bernhard Heitz, Strategic Product Design at dormakaba, presented the special prize sponsored by the company in the Architects of the Year category to Sou Fujimoto Architects from Japan.
