Touchless Elevator Access

The coronavirus pandemic has created new challenges that businesses must overcome. To reopen successfully, your organization needs to take precautions to prevent the spread of the disease. Limiting the need for contact with surfaces in your facility can help keep employees and visitors safe. In buildings with multiple floors, contactless solutions for elevators will be essential to preserving public health.

How Contactless Elevators Solve COVID-19 Challenges

Although COVID-19 is transmitted largely through close contact with infected individuals, surfaces contaminated with the virus remain a concern. Frequent disinfection of elevator buttons can ease some of the worry but cannot eliminate risk entirely. Contactless elevator solutions allow individuals to select their elevator's destination without touching the buttons located inside the cab, greatly reducing their likelihood of encountering the virus while inside.

The Benefits of Implementing Touchless Elevator Control

Touchless elevators come with both financial and practical benefits for businesses reopening during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to preventing disease spread, touchless push-button solutions solve business challenges by:

• Lowering cleaning costs: With a contactless elevator, you can limit the number of times employees must disinfect the elevator cab per day, lowering the cost of cleaning.
• Moving traffic efficiently: Touchless elevator control systems direct guests to the correct cab for every trip, getting people to their destinations as efficiently as possible.
• Improving floor security: No-touch push-button solutions integrate seamlessly with access control systems, so you can limit floor access to authorized and essential personnel only.

Touchless solutions will continue to provide benefits even after the current health crisis has passed. Implementing touchless elevator technology now will help prevent day-to-day disease spread in the future and facilitate a frictionless visitor experience throughout your facility.

Our No-Touch Solutions for Elevator Access

At Peace of Mind Technologies, we offer two solutions for contactless elevator access — one that utilizes direct destination dispatch and another that utilizes cloud-based software.

With a direct destination dispatch solution, visitors can swipe a card at a station in the lobby or on their current floor. The solution will then direct them to the proper elevator cab. This option works well in Class A buildings with turnstiles and enterprise systems. For smaller systems, whether addressing tenants or visitors who need access to multiple floors, our cloud-based solution enables floor selection using a mobile app, even allowing for the elevator to be called to the lobby.

Some of the features you can expect from our touchless elevator products include:

• Integration with access control systems
• Options for control using a mobile device
• Location-sensitive identity verification and access
