“Our Design & Development team have created a smart phone app named EyeRIS that allows for users to have a contactless lift usage experience, crucial in these times when Covid-19 is forcing us to look at our lives differently,

Johnson Lifts, India’s leading manufacturer of Lifts and Escalators, was started 56 years ago in 1963. Providing lift products right from small home lifts to large lifts for commercial buildings and public utility, Johnson Lifts was the 1st company to have its own manufacturing facility for escalators in India. With four factories, 54 branches in India and 7 office overseas, they are the only company in India that has been manufacturing Commercial & Heavy Duty Escalators since 2010. 
Johnson Lifts, with its comprehensive product range in lifts and escalators, has come up with an innovation that ensures, users are able to operate Lifts without touching the Lift Buttons. 
“Our Design & Development team have created a smart phone app named EyeRIS that allows for users to have a contactless lift usage experience, crucial in these times when Covid-19 is forcing us to look at our lives differently,” said Mr.V.Jagannathan, Executive Director, Johnson Lifts.
Health & Safety: People are concerned about health and safety and there is growing awareness about the environment across the world. 
Social Distancing: Social distancing and minimal contact have become the norm today and we must adapt to changing situations and challenges. 
Access Restriction:  How do you know which surfaces are safe to touch? For example, how clean are the buttons in the elevators you use? 
Once the Johnson EyeRIS app is downloaded, it connects the smartphone to the lift system using QR code technology and the user operates the lift by just tapping the buttons on the phone’s screen. The user will only need to indicate the “Present Floor” and the “Destination Floor” on the app and once done, the lift arrives to take the user to the destination floor. This ensures that the user will not need to press any lift buttons.
Benefits:

  • Use EyeRIS on your phone to bring the elevator to your floor.
  • Select the destination level/floor you want to reach. 
  • Practice social distancing the smart and secure way. 
  • Keep your elevator-users safe from contact infections.
  • Improve the safety and security of the people in your building.
