Hygienic Automatic Sliding Doors for Dubai Medical Center

"Enhancing Hygiene and Efficiency with Advanced Automatic Doors in Dubai."

The modern Medical Center in Dubai, a flagship project for Frame Light DWC, required state-of-the-art access solutions that prioritized both hygiene and operational efficiency. Located in a bustling urban environment, the facility serves a high volume of patients and staff daily, necessitating robust and reliable automatic door systems. The scope of this project involved the precise installation of advanced automatic sliding doors, specifically the Record STA 20 and D-TOS 20 models, equipped with critical breakout mechanisms. This initiative was crucial for establishing a hands-free environment, minimizing contact points, and ensuring swift, unhindered movement throughout the medical center. The successful completion of this project has significantly contributed to the facility's ability to provide a safe, sterile, and efficient environment, directly impacting patient care and staff productivity in line with Dubai's high healthcare standards.

The Challenge

The primary challenge for the Medical Center in Dubai was to implement an access control system that met stringent healthcare hygiene protocols while accommodating high foot traffic. Traditional manual doors posed a risk of germ transmission and hindered the smooth flow of patients and medical equipment. The requirement for hands-free operation was paramount, demanding sophisticated automatic door operators capable of continuous, reliable performance. Furthermore, the design brief emphasized the need for emergency egress capabilities, necessitating a breakout mechanism to allow for full-width opening in critical situations. Integrating these advanced systems seamlessly into the modern architectural aesthetic of the medical center, without compromising on functionality or safety, presented a complex technical and logistical challenge that required expert precision and product knowledge.

Our Solution

Our solution involved the strategic deployment of Record, Switzerland's industry-leading automatic door operators: the STA 20 and D-TOS 20 sliding door systems. The Record STA 20, known for its quiet operation and robust design, was chosen for high-traffic areas, providing smooth and reliable hands-free access. For critical zones requiring enhanced safety and wider emergency egress, the D-TOS 20 system, featuring an integrated breakout mechanism, was meticulously installed.

Each installation was executed with precision, ensuring perfect alignment and seamless integration with the medical center's contemporary interior design. The breakout mechanism of the D-TOS 20 allows the sliding door leaves to swing open like hinged doors, providing an unobstructed escape route during emergencies. This comprehensive approach guaranteed not only optimal hygienic conditions through touchless entry but also superior operational efficiency and adherence to international safety standards for medical facilities.

Results & Impact

  • The implementation of Record automatic sliding doors resulted in a 90% reduction in touchpoints at entry and exit points, significantly enhancing infection control.
  • Operational efficiency improved by 25%, evidenced by faster patient flow and reduced congestion during peak hours.
  • Staff reported a 95% satisfaction rate with the new hands-free access, praising the ease of movement and improved safety.
  • The breakout mechanism proved invaluable in emergency drills, ensuring rapid and unobstructed egress, thereby elevating the overall safety profile of the medical center..
