8 The city of Uniejów is located in the greater area of the city of Lodz in the heart of Poland. Uniejów is an officially certified thermal Spa due to its hot springs with proven medical effectiveness on diseases like rheumatism, neurodermatitis or asthma. In 2019, Termy Uniejów, the largest Spa complex in the area, decided to replace its access control system by the wireless ZEUS® keyless solution. Termy Uniejów is a pool complex consisting of two salt- water outside pools with attractions for the whole family and a 25m freshwater swimming pool. Inside, there is a variety of brine and freshwater pools as well as children’s pools with slides. Last but not least, Termy Uniejów’s wellness offer is completed by several saunas, a Jacuzzi island, snow chambers and Turkish baths. The total sur- face of the thermal pools complex is 2,700 square meters and the average water temperature is between 32-35° degrees Celsius. The secret of Termy Uniejów is geothermal water, the greatest resource of Uniejów, extracted from a depth of 2 kilometres. The water temperature underground is about 68 degrees Celsius! Thanks to its thermal and chemical properties, the water has excellent properties and beneficial medical effects on many diseases and, further- more, it is successfully used in preventive medicine. Termy Uniejów, which was opened in 2008, is managed by the municipality of Uniejów. As an attraction well known far beyond the borders of Poland, Termy Uniejów is focusing on spa activities for both individuals and families, attracting several millions of visitors per year. Until 2019, Termy Uniejów was using an access control solution from another provider. Due to the specific am- bient conditions in a Spa, like high humidity or brine, the system did not meet their expectations. “This was cau- sing quite a lot of failures on the hardware and was one of the main reasons to replace the existing system by a new one”, said Facility Manager Rafał Porada. On the search for a new provider, Termy Uniejów found MiW S.C., the ISGUS distribution partner for Poland, located in Poddebice, only a stone’s throw away from Uniejów. After several consultancy meetings and site inspections, the requirements of Termy Uniejów were identified, finally resulting in an individual quotation for a ZEUS® keyless solution from ISGUS. The comprehensive soluti- on is based on wireless electronic locks and smart hand- les, completed by the appropriate software to manage access profiles on the numerous individual doors.
