Doha Festival City introduces touchless elevators for safer shopping experience

Doha: Doha Festival City has partnered with Schindler to deploy new touchless technology across 32 elevators to aid in preventing cross-infection when interacting with elevator buttons. 

The new technology was designed and manufactured by Schindler, a Swiss pioneering elevators’, escalators’ and moving walks’ manufacturer that uses avant-garde technology focused on the utmost comfort and safety of users. 

Committed to preserving health and wellbeing of its customers, Doha Festival City regularly upgrades its systems to offer the safest shopping solutions across the mall. The elevators’ new advanced technology includes a touchless control panel allowing the users to command the lift without physically touching any button. It contains a remote sensing unit through which a user can indicate the desired floor by simply waving a finger across the panel.
