Touchless Technology: Next Generation for Property Management

Touchless technology is very expedient in property management. With help of this technology, all things present around can be controlled. Thus making this technology useful in property management.

Advancement of science has done wonders for this world that were considered possible through magic previously. Man of a few centuries before could not even imagine travelling to space, communicating at far distances through video calls and other wonderful appliances. The most recent advancement so far was touch technology. 

Smartphones LEDs and ovens are most popular among touch technology. But science stops at nothing. Scientists are endeavouring to take it all to the very next level with the invention of touchless technology.

It’s a set of sensors, hardware, and software components designed to accomplish a particular task, allowing minimal actual touching and handling by a person.

Benefits of touchless technology

• This technology will do wonders by reducing human contact. This technology is especially workable for those tenants who touch railings, entry door handles, and buttons, etc.
• This amazing technology is the best for landlords who save a lot of money on repairs and maintenance of physical buttons, handles, switches, etc.
• It will decrease the chances of pandemics. This is good hygienic technology and can change our lifestyle.
• This will decrease human dependency.
• Moreover, this will speed up the use of the property.

Touchless technology in homes:

Televisions, refrigerators and air conditioners will be controlled without touch. Fans and lights that do not need to be touched by hand are already in use and change your lifestyle.

There are doors that sense the presence of an individual and open and close without touch. Lights turn on when a person steps in a room. There are automatic thermostats that regulate temperature according to changing weather. In washrooms there are automatic taps and showers that do not need to be turned on. They sense body heat when a person comes under these and water starts coming out of them.  

Connections that are spotless

Even with touchless technology, it’s critical to sterilise every switch, knob, handle, and remote device in your house on a regular basis. Because certain touchless technologies are controlled by phone applications, you should also clean your phone on a regular basis.

Hubs for smart devices

A smart speaker system, such as the Amazon Echo or Google House, allows you to operate various devices in your home using voice commands rather than touch. You may use this touchless technology to turn on or off the TV or lights, listen to music or radio stations, control the thermostat, raise or lower motorised window blinds, and much more.

Doors and locks

Smart home security systems allow you to lock and unlock your doors, raise and lower the garage door, alter the temperature control, and more, all from a smartphone app. These touchless technology systems are also convenient since they allow you to let people in while you are gone and close the garage door if you forgot to do so when you left. Your phone app can view camera surveillance of your house, and you’ll receive a push notice if doors are unlocked while you’re gone. Personal monitoring gadgets for the elderly allow you to keep an eye on them from a distance.

Touchless technology in hotels:

Hotels are places where this technology is much needed than anywhere else. Hotels need staff to meet needs and thus require more human staff. But there will be no need to use telecom to send messages to staff. There will be sensors when speaking loud near them will amplify the voice and take it to staff. 

Check-in and check-out using mobile device

Avoid huge lines at the front desk while checking in/out. A mobile PMS allows hoteliers to easily configure their operations and processes. This enables people to check in and out using their smartphone. Although leisure travel is increasing, social alienation and safety precautions remain critical decision-making factors.

Contactless payments

Contactless payments not only reduce passenger interaction with employees, but they also complement other touchless hospitality trends like contactless check-in and check-out. When using online payment methods, hoteliers may be guaranteed of additional security against cancellation. With a PMS, you may connect online payments across numerous channels, such as Web Booking Engine, Front Desk, and POS outlets. Hotelogix’s full suite hospitality solutions go a step further by allowing you to easily connect third-party apps that you already use.

Interdepartmental communication without physical contact

Streamline hotel operations by allowing smooth communication between departments, controlling and assigning activities from a single dashboard, and synchronising work across all hotel departments in real time. Manage various points of sale from a single dashboard, increasing non-room revenue.

Miscellaneous uses of new touchless technology:

There are elevators that open up automatically. There are treadmills in gyms and homes that turn on when you jump on them. In banks, there will be no need to touch ATM machines. Just put in a credit card, give commands and withdraw the money. One can enter the sensitive buildings only on voice commands which are preset. There will be automatic sanitizers. 

Wi-Fi

Without wireless communication technology like Wi-Fi, the smartphone and internet we enjoy today would not be conceivable. If you wanted to “surf” the internet at home in 1995, you had to tie yourself to a network cable like an extension cord. Wi-Fi was created and made available to the public in 1997. With a router and a dongle for our laptop, we could disconnect from the network cord and wander about the house or workplace while remaining connected.

Wi-Fi has evolved faster over time, making its way into computers, mobile devices, and even vehicles. Wi-Fi is so important in our personal and professional life these days that it’s practically unheard of to be in a house or public location that doesn’t have it.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth, a radio connection that links devices over short distances, is touchless technology that has proven crucial. It was presented to the public in 1999, was meant to connect a mobile phone to a hands-free headset, allowing you to continue conversations while keeping your hands free for other tasks such as driving a car.

Bluetooth has now evolved to connect devices such as earbuds, earphones, portable wireless speakers, and hearing aids to audio sources such as phones, PCs, stereo receivers, and even automobiles. It is used by fitness trackers to provide data to mobile phones, and PCs may connect wirelessly to keyboards and mouse.

Touchless technology is quite useful in property management. Everything in the environment can be managed with the aid of this technology. As a result, this technology may be used in property management.

Science has done miracles for the globe that were previously thought only conceivable via magic. A few decades ago, man could not even conceive travelling to space or conversing over long distances via video calls and other great devices. So far, the most recent breakthrough has been touch technology.
