PROJECT INFORMATION

Overview of Park 8 Vinhomes Times City

Park 8 is regarded as one of the apartment buildings with a prime location in the Park Hill subdivision of Vinhomes Times City, Hanoi. With its landscaped surroundings and diverse on-site amenities, the building offers a resort-style living experience within the city, making it one of the desirable residential towers in Times City.

The building comprises 28 above-ground floors and 2 basement levels, with a total of 416 apartments and a density of 16 apartments per typical floor. The first and second floors are allocated to shophouses, while floors 3 to 28 accommodate residential apartments.

Park 8 is bordered by Park 1 to the north, Park 3 to the east, the central plaza to the south, and a landscaped garden to the west. This location provides residents with convenient access to various landscaped amenities, including an outdoor swimming pool, a clock tower, a landscaped hill with viewing areas, an outdoor performance stage, and tropical gardens.

Sonha Auto installs 03 sets of NABCO GT-1175 breakout sliding doors at Park 8 Vinhomes Times City

At Park 8 Vinhomes Times City, Sonha Auto installed 03 sets of NABCO GT-1175 breakout sliding doors, integrated with NABCO NSW-A01 sensors and facial recognition technology. The system was configured according to the usage requirements of each lobby area, helping control access and maintain appropriate opening and closing operation based on actual pedestrian traffic.

In addition to their operating features, NABCO automatic doors are designed with a focus on safety and quality, meeting relevant technical requirements and standards, including:

• EN 16005: A European standard specifying safety requirements for power-operated pedestrian doors, covering design, installation, and use.
• JIS A 4722: A Japanese Industrial Standard addressing the safety of automatic doors.
• TÜV: Testing, assessment, and certification activities conducted by TÜV organizations in relation to product safety, quality, and reliability.

These standards and assessment frameworks provide important references for the development and quality control of automatic door equipment, helping address operational safety requirements at building projects.

Breakout function – Expanding the passageway when needed

Unlike conventional automatic sliding doors, the GT-1175 breakout door allows users to push the door leaves outward in the direction of escape when necessary. This mechanism enables the entire passageway to be opened up, providing a wider clear opening than in the normal sliding operating mode.

The breakout function is particularly useful when a wider escape route is required or when transporting bulky items. Once the function has been used, the door leaves can be returned to their original positions so the system can resume automatic sliding operation.

Integration of NABCO NSW-A01 sensors and facial recognition technology

At Park 8, the door systems are integrated with NABCO NSW-A01 sensors and facial recognition technology, with separate operating configurations for each lobby area.

At the main lobby, the sliding door system is equipped with NABCO NSW-A01 sensors, which help detect the direction of movement and distinguish people approaching the doors from those merely walking past the sensor area. This helps reduce unnecessary activations, allowing the doors to open and close more appropriately in response to actual pedestrian traffic.

NABCO NSW-A01 direction-detection sensor

In the inner lobby, 02 sets of bi-parting doors are integrated with facial recognition technology to control entry. Users must scan their faces, and the doors open only after successful authentication. For exiting, the doors operate through conventional motion-detection sensors.

Notably, storage lockers are installed on both sides of the doors in the inner lobby. People frequently stand nearby to retrieve or deposit belongings without intending to pass through the doors. To prevent unintended automatic door activation, Sonha Auto technicians independently adjusted the sensor detection zones to distinguish movement by locker users from that of people intending to pass through the doors. This helps the system operate more appropriately for the area’s actual usage conditions.

Sonha Auto – Automatic door solutions for high-traffic buildings

Drawing on its experience in implementing NABCO automatic door systems at commercial developments, buildings, and residential complexes, Sonha Auto places emphasis on site surveys to select suitable equipment, position sensors, and configure operating modes according to the requirements of each entrance.

In high-traffic areas such as Park 8 Vinhomes Times City, combining breakout doors with safety sensors and facial recognition technology helps address pedestrian flow, access control, and the need to widen passageways when necessary.

Sonha Auto continues to work alongside investors, building management teams, and consulting firms to implement NABCO automatic door solutions, with the aim of providing entrance systems that are safe, convenient, and reliable over the long term.
