Safe and Clean Access with 'Touchless' Sensors
Contactless technology can make our lives easier, especially when health is a priority and hygiene rules must be strictly followed. The COVID-19 crisis has shown us how vulnerable we are to viruses.
We are going through a period where we are rethinking hygiene rules and looking very carefully around us to create a safe living and working space. Access to various locations inevitably involves opening a door, a door usually equipped with a handle, or in better cases, with a button to activate the automatic access system. These surfaces, the handle or button, which come into contact with numerous users, are highly exposed to the risk of contamination with viruses or bacteria.
However, there are contactless solutions, sensors that remotely activate the door opening system, thus reducing risks. And when we talk about medical units, laboratories, pharmacies, units with controlled atmospheres, such a solution can save lives by significantly reducing the risk of contamination with various pathogens, by completely eliminating contact with surfaces when entering or exiting.
Such ‘touchless’ sensors can be easily and quickly mounted on various surfaces like a switch and work as soon as they are connected to the door activation system and after detection settings are made, functioning within a range of 15 to 80 cm. The sensor is protected by a glass surface and is equipped with an LED that, when lit, indicates its operation. Additionally, it offers the advantage of being cleaned with regular hygienic substances as well as disinfectants.
Such a sensor perfectly fits the needs of spaces with strict hygiene conditions (operating rooms in hospitals, ICU wards) but can improve the quality of life where people with reduced mobility live. They are also ideal for doors separating the kitchen area from the guest area in a restaurant or canteen.
In general, using this access system that allows doors to be opened remotely, without touch, is perfect for reducing the spread of pathogens. Because it is always easier to prevent than to treat.
