The automated home is a space in which the equipment adjusts to the needs of each user.
This is a home that makes everything accessible and easy to use, and that provides functionality, comfort, and security to its occupants every day.
Electric drive systems have transformed the automated home from fiction into a real concept that is becoming increasingly popular among users.
Powerful, compact, and easy to integrate, electric linear actuators find use in a wide range of home applications: indoors, in residential, sleeping and sanitary areas, and outdoors.

Why Automate Your Home?
Home automation improves everyone’s daily life – home equipment becomes more functional, ergonomic, affordable, convenient, and safe.
It is primarily a matter of well-being. Electric drive systems enable all users, whether they are children, adults, elderly family members, or people with limited mobility, to adapt furniture to their physical needs and use more affordable equipment.
Such systems allow you to take an ergonomic position, which alleviates some diseases of the musculoskeletal system caused by daily activity, and in general, has a positive effect on home comfort.
In addition, thanks to them, it becomes easier to use hard-to-reach equipment (terraces with a canopy, skylights, blinds, etc.).
At the same time, electric drive systems are a response to new consumer expectations regarding interior design and home organization.
Used in the design of more functional, versatile, and adaptable equipment for everyone, electric linear actuators reduce the amount of home furniture and create a less cluttered space that is modern and healthy.
However, one of the main factors that drive many homeowners and builders to automate their homes is safe.
In France, for example, about 11 million people are victims of domestic accidents every year. This represents 17 percent of the population.
Reducing human intervention through remote control allows you to automate equipment, reducing the risk of domestic accidents and providing a higher level of safety.
Electric Linear Actuators for Bathroom Equipment
Sanitary areas are often slippery and narrow, which means that people in these areas face various inconveniences, embarrassment, and even domestic accidents.
This is especially true for children, the elderly, or those with limited mobility.
Electric linear actuators allow the creation of height-adjustable plumbing fixtures such as toilets and sinks, making it easier for all users to access.
Such solutions reduce the risk of falls and slips while providing users with greater autonomy.
Electric Linear Actuators for the Home Workplace
The period of telecommuting has largely demonstrated how important the work environment and equipment are.
Many people developed diseases of the musculoskeletal system due to repetitive incorrect postures characteristic of this particular period.
And there is a good reason for that. When it comes to working, the degree of equipment at home is inferior to office ones.
Adjustable workstations that can be used for both work and hobbies allow users to adopt an ergonomic and comfortable position, conducive to concentration.
In addition, they allow you to alternate sitting and standing positions and reduce muscle fatigue and tension caused by a sedentary lifestyle.
Electric Linear Actuators for Ventilation and Shading Systems
Electric drive systems facilitate the remote control of natural ventilation and shading equipment such as windows, skylights, sashes, or blinds.
The movement is carried out with simple electric control so that everyone can easily adapt the conditions to their needs.
Linear electric actuators, combined with intelligent control systems, allow the development of programmable and stand-alone solutions, offering enhanced functionality and customization.
The equipment adjusts in real-time according to the external climate, providing the ability to maintain an optimal indoor environment while limiting heating or air conditioning.
This intelligent temperature control has a positive impact on both the economy and the environment, which is important considering that the construction industry is considered one of the leading consumers of energy.
It also provides more security, as it allows you to remotely close windows or blinds if you forgot about them.
Electric Linear Drives for Terraces With a Canopy
Consisting of adjustable and retractable louver-like sashes, canopy terraces are easily adjusted using electric drive systems.
Thanks to the remote control, electrical adjustment is accessible to everyone and ensures optimal shading at any time of the day.
