FARMINGTON, Conn., July 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: OTIS) is helping customers around the world prepare for the safe reopening and continued maintenance of their buildings – where people live and work – through touchless elevator technologies, purification products including ultraviolet (UV) and other germicidal lighting, predictive maintenance and other innovations designed to combat the spread of germs and promote social distancing. These solutions also support the recommendations and guidance presented by the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other health experts. Otis is the world's leading company for elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation and service.

Touchless Technologies
Otis offers its eCall™ smartphone app to allow passengers to call certain elevators directly from their smartphone, creating a fast and touchless passenger experience and significantly reducing the number of physical touch points and exposure to germs on surfaces. Otis is expanding its eCall smartphone app adding Bluetooth® technology to enable an even more seamless experience for passengers. The app can be integrated with a variety of different Otis equipment.

Traffic Flow Solutions
Reducing the number of passengers per elevator, assigning passengers to specific elevators and creating shuttle solutions to limit the number of stops or floors served all help to promote social distancing and enhance the safe flow of tenants through buildings.

To find health and safety tips for elevator and escalator passengers, as well as a downloadable resource kit for building managers to support onsite communications, visit www.otis.com/corporate/stay-well.
