Contactless Access & Activation Switches

As the world adjusts to life post Covid-19, there is still a huge emphasis on hygiene and infection control in buildings and facilities of all types. We have never been more aware of the surfaces we come into contact with on a daily basis as we try to navigate our way through buildings. KCC assist clients in all sectors in implementing contactless access & Activation Switches, and automation solutions in both new build and retrofit projects with simple, yet highly effective solutions.

We offer versatile, contactless activation and door release switches which can be used in place of push buttons and other activation point devices that would normally require contact to engage. The ‘Magic Switch’, for example, detects motion towards its sensor at up to 50cm, can be flush or surface mounted and is rated up to IP52 so is suited to most environments including clean room and clinical. It easily integrates with existing systems including automatic doors and access control doors to provide a safe clean method of operation and is commonly used by KCC in their complete access systems across all sectors. As an alternative we also offer other slim, aesthetically-pleasing activation switches using infrared technology and motion detection to operate automated doors.

With the advent of contactless payments and Bluetooth connectivity it is now possible to create systems for unlocking and activating doors via your phone or tablet. This can not only provide enhanced security for access but also negates the need for physical contact with push buttons or keypads to get where you are going. We provide a range of options from complete locks to activation readers which will work with your phone as well as other items such as proximity cards and fobs. For hospitality clients we can offer Bluetooth access for an enhanced guest and user experience and to facilitate remote check-ins, thereby reducing the need for queues at the reception area.
