Large-Scale Touchless — Topics & Guidance

Hardware Hardening

  • 316 SS / DZR brass; PVD anti-fingerprint; concealed fixings.
  • ASSE 1070/1017; 0.35–0.5 gpm laminar.
  • ToF sensors, IP65+, locking M8/M12 connectors.

Soap at Scale — Multifeed

  • 5–10 L reservoir, 6–8 heads; peristaltic pumps.
  • Low-level & leak sensors; auto-purge.
  • 80–100 μm inline filter; viscosity 1–3000 cP.

BMS & Telemetry

  • BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP, MQTT.
  • Usage, faults, temps, AC/battery, soap levels.
  • Edge rules: burst lockout; night-mode dwell.

Design & Installation

  • 60–80 psi regulation, arrestors, hot recirc.
  • PoE/low-voltage raceways; 25–50 gateways/zone.
  • Reinforced backers; ADA heights; seismic.

2-in-1 Faucet + Hand Dryer

Wash & dry at one station — ideal for airports and stadiums. Minimizes floor water and improves throughput.

The Touchless Operation

LED / Premium Finishes

Inclusive visual cues; premium finishes for hospitality and VIP suites.

Pilot → Fleet

Pilot

  • Deploy 50–100 fixtures across 2–3 zones.
  • Instrument KPIs; track downtime, clogs, complaints.
  • Tune dwell; schedule purge & thermal routines.

Train & Validate

  • QR-linked SOP videos for techs & custodial.
  • Quarterly KPI review with BMS dashboards.
  • Document adjustments; lock configs (RBAC).

Scale

  • Scale by zone with CMMS.
  • Maintain 5–10% spares for critical uptime.
  • Periodic health checks & firmware signing.
