While hand washing can greatly reduce the spread of certain pathogens removing the need to touch commonly touched surfaces like door handles and elevator buttons could further reduce the chance to transmit Viruses or bacteria via contact.  

The Contactless Card reduces the user’s risk of infection by reducing the number of surfaces they need to touch. Using RFID technology, Contactless Card knows when the user is approaching an elevator or automatic door, which floor they are going to, and sends the elevator there - without having to push any buttons.

Businesses like hotels that have a lot of people moving through the facility and a lot of doors benefit the most from this, as well as the elevator and automatic / secure door manufacturers that Contactless Card integrates with.

Contactless Card is unique not only in its primary function but also, its security implications.  Other RFID locks often require close contact with readers. Contactless Card adds an additional layer of security with an action required on an accompanying phone app. Additionally, our product comes equipped with automatic contact tracing if someone reports being sick.
