Major Smart Building project comprising all the information and communication technology

euromicron Deutschland GmbH has played a successful part in construction of ZF Friedrichshafen AG's new headquarters. euromicron's system house company implemented all the passive data technology with DECT and WLAN systems and the entire security technology in the 35,000 m² ZF Forum. Despite the fact that it took over the project during construction, it managed to complete it on time in compliance with all building regulations and customer-specific requirements.

Frankfurt/Main / Neu-Isenburg, May 16, 2017 - euromicron Deutschland GmbH, the system house subsidiary of euromicron AG, has successfully helped construct ZF Friedrichshafen AG's new headquarters. euromicron installed all the data technology (including WLAN and DECT systems) and the entire physical security technology at the ZF Forum, which has an area of 35,000 m² and houses 650 office workplaces for employees at the corporate divisions, as well as conference rooms for symposiums and events, a workshop hall for technical training and an exhibition area that is open to the public. The security technology comprises a fire alarm system with more than 2,000 detectors and just under 30 aspirating smoke detectors, a voice alarm system with interfaces to the media technology, an access control system, airlocks, video surveillance, and intercom system and an emergency call system. The order was worth a total of EUR2.5 million.


The greatest challenge for euromicron was that it had to take over the project during construction, since the original contractor had become insolvent. Only 20 percent of the ICT and security installations had been completed at that time and so their working order had to be examined first of all without exception. It was also necessary to develop a feasible concept for continuing the project as planned, taking into account all building regulations and deadline requirements, as well as in compliance with ZF's standards of quality for all network and equipment installations. Thanks to euromicron's experts' many years of project experience and excellent cooperation with construction management and ZF's project managers, installation was completed within a year and the envisaged deadline for the company to move into the new headquarters - September 2016 - was met.
