The touchless COP comes with two options for touchless landing calls included as well.<\/p>\n<p>The options include, sensitivity on the buttons when users place their fingers within 1-centimeter of the up or down arrow symbols while the other option grants users to press arrow symbols using their foot.<\/p>\n<p>Kone is a well regarded industry leader in providing elevator solutions and is known for its innovative technologies.
