Reduce virus spread by reducing contact points

July 16, 2020
It’s common sense really, the fewer surfaces being touched by a lot of people, the lower the chance of COVID-19 transmission.
Break the COVID-19 chain
According to the New England Journal of Medicine, the COVID-19 virus can survive up to 72 hours on stainless steel and plastics. For that reason, it’s important to reduce physical contact with devices and surfaces, including door handles and card and fingerprint readers.

Touchless access control is how to do it.

Electronic motorized door opening systems are ideal touchless systems, but other good options include facial recognition systems, QR code scanning via mobile phone, or simply using the XProtect mobile application to open the doors via your WiFi connection.

Control numbers and safety
Furthermore, you can regulate the number of people on your site or in your store. Thanks to the video-integrated access control that functions with a “one in, one out” policy, waiting customers are notified when they can enter the store. You can even limit access to only a specific group of people if needed.
