39 THE door industry journal spring 2022 Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk Industry News commonly used in high traffic areas such as public toilets. CleanSwitch allows users to wave their hand in front of the panel to open or unlock automatic doors. It is available in white or black housing, and over a dozen icons are available to customise the faceplate. Additionally, CleanSwitch can be specified with or without programmable optical LED feedback – giving visual feedback to the user that the switch has been activated. IN2 Access supplied samples of CleanSwitch in white, no icons, with optical feedback for testing. This was fixed inside the lower portion of the kiosk mounted behind the opaque glass. One CleanSwitch was programmed to show blue, the other programmed green. The switches were repurposed to work with kiosk-specific functions. After samples were received, the Commend UK Solutions Manager responded that testing “went fantastically” and by early 2021, the new kiosk design was approved and signed off for production. IN2 Access is now the UK supply partner of the CleanSwitch to Commend UK with production of the OD22 smart kiosk being shipped globally. “Taking on the expertise of so many others and bringing it together has been an extremely rewarding experience on the road to developing this product,” Rory Martin said. “The outcome is a multi-functional smart kiosk that can handle the first elements of a customer inquiry by providing dynamic information on the 22” screen. However, if human interaction is required, then the user is able to simply wave in-front of one of the illuminated contact-free buttons and the smart kiosk will initiate a call to an operator that can provide further assistance with communicative audio and video.” Derek Foreman adds, “IN2 Access is happy to provide support for innovative projects such as Commend UK’s OD22 kiosk. With over 25 years’ expertise in the access control and automated gate industry, we’re confident in providing the kind of service and support needed to make these types of projects a success and take pride in UK innovation.” For details about Commend UK Ltd.’s OD22 Smart Kiosk, contact sales@commend.co.uk , Tel: +44 1279 872020 or visit www.commend.co.uk .
