OTIS Turkey Provides Anti-Pandemic Solutions

Otis Turkey provides hygienic experiences to its customers and users during and after the pandemics.

Thanks to its continuous field research, the company draws attention with its touchless and antimicrobial solutions, which are highly preferred during our “new normal.” The company aims to create a hygienic experience with its touchless call buttons, UV-C lighting and plasma fans. 

Otis Turkey, which provides alternatives like antimicrobial handrails, such as handrails treated with handrail sanitizer or purified with UVC light that offers passengers a safer experience, also obliged the use of personal protective equipment for its employees, in accordance with recommendations of the World Health Organization.       

“We have continuously worked for our customers during the pandemic”

Otis Turkey CEO Özgür Aren stated that the company has provided 24-hour exclusive service for elevators at hospitals and the hotels where health care personnel were accommodated, and said, “We have continuously worked in the field for our customers. We have not stopped, especially for health institutions. We are proud of supporting the health care providers. We have used every possible means for providing 24/7 uninterrupted service for the hospitals and other health institutions, and we still do.”

Recommendations for the new period

Otis Turkey offers recommendations for its customers and users during this pandemic period:

• Limiting the number of passengers and adding floor markings in the cabin
• Installing UV-C light in the cabin for disinfecting the elevator
• Installing plasma fan for the purification of the air in the cabin
• Using the eCall app to minimize contact in call systems. (It provides the communication between the elevator and a passenger’s smartphone via Bluetooth, allowing the user to call the elevator as soon immediately upon entering the building) 
• Adding the CompassPlus destination-dispatch system, which limits the number of passengers assigned to each elevator. (It is preferred in residential buildings, hotels and shopping malls, and not only in office buildings.)

“We believe these products will be popular, as they improve reliability and user comfort. Especially our touchless call-button product, which we have promised to install one day after the order, has been the product that has provided fastest solution during this period. Touchless call buttons used at landing calls and cabin interiors help the passengers reach the destination floor without touching any button. Our aim is to provide a safer and hygienic elevator experience through the use of such products, and taking the necessary measures”, Aren said.
