BEA ELIX: A Smarter Way to Manage People Flow at Automatic Doors

In busy environments, doors do more than open and close. They manage people flow, protect indoor comfort, and play a key role in energy efficiency. That’s why BEA ELIX represents a major step forward in automatic door technology.

Designed for automatic swing doors, BEA ELIX is an intelligent sensor powered by advanced FMCW technology, bringing a new level of precision, adaptability, and simplicity to door activation.

Intelligent detection that understands intent

Unlike traditional sensors that react to any movement, BEA ELIX continuously analyses direction, speed, and user intention. This allows the door to open precisely when someone genuinely intends to pass through—no earlier, no later.

The result is a smoother, more natural passage that feels effortless for users, while significantly reducing unnecessary door openings. In areas with cross-traffic, such as shopping centres, corridors, or entrances near waiting zones, ELIX works to eliminate “ghost activations” that waste energy and disrupt flow.

Open smart. Save energy.

Because BEA ELIX only opens doors when required, it plays a direct role in improving building efficiency. Fewer unnecessary openings mean:

  • Reduced heat loss and draughts
  • Lower energy consumption
  • Improved indoor comfort

It’s a simple change that delivers measurable benefits—particularly valuable in high-traffic commercial environments.

One sensor. Total flexibility.

ELIX design also focuses on simplicity. Only one sensor is required on the push side of a twin-leaf swing door whch can be mounted in right, left or centre position, connected to two on the pull side above the hinge points. Three sensors rather than four, reduces hardware, installation time, and complexity.

Finished in black, with optional brackets, rain covers, and retrofit accessories available, ELIX integrates easily into both new installs and upgrades.

Fast, intuitive set-up via mobile app

Commissioning has never been easier. The ELIX mobile app provides step-by-step setup with live visualisation of the detection field, allowing instant adjustment of all parameters—without manual trial and error.

Installers benefit from faster setup and fewer call-backs. End users benefit from a door that performs exactly as expected, right from day one.

The future of people flow management

BEA ELIX isn’t just a sensor—it’s a smarter approach to how doors interact with people. By combining precision detection, adaptive behaviour, and energy-conscious operation, ELIX delivers better experiences for users and better performance for buildings.
