TOUCH FREE OPERATION

One strategy to minimize transfer of Viruses is to eliminate the need to touch common objects. There are many strategies to accomplish this objective include the following: • Sensor or biometrically activated, powered doors. • Smartphone or voice activated devices such as breakroom equipment. • Some controls systems like Comfy will control conference room features such as HVAC, lighting, plugs and could also be used for workstations. • Similar options available from Enlighted Bluetooth controls that can double as touch free door openers, etc. • Hands free, powered lavatories/soap dispensers/toilets/urinals in restrooms. • Voice activated elevator controls • Motorized blinds on automatic sensors.
