From Escalator Handrail Sanitizer, Elevator Remote Call using WhatsApp to Elevator AirPurifier, innovative solutions that support well-being will help people transition to a new normal.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

KONE Elevator India, a wholly owned subsidiary of KONE Corporation<\/i><\/b>, has introduced a suite of people flow solutions to help buildings and cities be safer and healthier places to live, work and commute. The solutions are built on KONE\u2019s deep expertise and knowledge of people flow, which is vital when addressing the challenges of adapting to a new way of life in the face of the current pandemic.<\/p>\n

As cities gradually begin to open, the experience of using residential buildings and public premises such as metro stations, shopping malls and offices will change. Considering physical distancing measures as well as the need for people to be able to move around in shared spaces safely, KONE\u2019s technical knowhow and innovation came together to create solutions that can be used to encourage physical distancing while enabling a safe and convenient return to public settings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the prevailing <\/em>COVID-19 environment, the way people interact with everyday surroundings will be challenging. As we ease out of lockdown and re-enter public buildings, we need to come to terms with the \u201cnew normal\u201d with complete certainty. To address this changing need, KONE, as a pioneer in people flow, has introduced a range of <\/em>health and well-being solutions that will help recreate safer user journeys and healthy spaces in your buildings<\/em>.\u201d says Amit Gossain, MD, KONE Elevator India<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

KONE health and well-being\u00a0solutions <\/strong>aim at reducing the risk of contact with surfaces in shared spaces, encourage physical distancing and\u00a0enable a safe and convenient return to public settings.<\/p>\n

\"Handrail<\/p>\n

By this KONE means:<\/p>\n

Reducing the need to touch surfaces<\/u><\/h3>\n

As people started returning to work, another real concern related to shared spaces became extremely clear: people are unwilling to touch common surfaces like buttons in Elevators.\u00a0Elevator Remote Call Feature using WhatsApp<\/strong> is a response to this. It allows users to call an elevator using social messaging channels like WhatsApp, removing the need to touch possibly contaminated buttons or displays.<\/p>\n

Contributing to Healthier Environment<\/u><\/h3>\n

Physical distancing elevator floor stickers<\/strong> and Elevator full load limit adjustment<\/strong> will ensure less crowding and thereby contribute to a healthier environment.<\/p>\n

Helping to prevent the spread of disease<\/u><\/h3>\n

To further reduce concerns\u00a0over elevator\u00a0use,\u00a0KONE is introducing in selected markets\u00a0the new KONE Elevator\u00a0Air Purifier<\/strong>. It uses\u00a0technology\u00a0\u2013 including an advanced photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) process developed by NASA for air control on spaceships- to\u00a0improve\u00a0air quality in the\u00a0elevator car\u00a0by removing most of the potential pollutants, like bacteria, viruses,\u00a0dust\u00a0and\u00a0odours, in the air.<\/p>\n

KONE Handrail Sanitizer<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/em>an escalator handrail cleaning solution that uses a type of ultraviolet light (UV-C) to gradually disinfect escalator handrails. Continuous chemical-free cleaning happens inside the escalator, so that the users aren\u2019t exposed to it. Exposure to ultra-violet radiation helps reduce and inhibit the reproduction of micro-organisms such as bacteria or viruses.<\/p>\n

Keeping Equipment Running & Safe<\/u><\/h3>\n

As we all learn to live by the new norms of our cities, neighbourhoods and buildings, it\u2019s likely we\u2019ll continue to insist on smooth people flow once we do get going again. With\u00a0cloud based KONE\u00a024\/7 Connected Services,\u00a0KONE\u00a0helps to ensure\u00a0transparency and preventive maintenance on\u00a0equipment\u00a0performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to playing a vital role in keeping society running during these unprecedented times. Elevators, escalators and the related maintenance are crucial in enabling people to carry out essential activities. For our customers, a key benefit of the health and well-being focused solutions is that improvements can be introduced easily, in an era when hygiene and physical distancing are vitally important<\/em>,\u201d Amit<\/strong> added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
