TOUCHLESS APP “FIRST” PART OF OTIS SINGAPORE PROJECT

Otis Singapore integrated its eCallTM mobile app with the existing smart building app at the 66-story, 22-year-old Republic Plaza office building in downtown Singapore, Otis announced on December 8. Done in collaboration with property owner City Developments Ltd. and implementing an application programming interface — allowing thw apps to "talk" to one another — for the first time for Otis, the technology was part of the modernization of an elevator system that includes 15 double-deck lifts. Work also included installation of the CompassPlus® destination-dispatch system. After downloading the tower's CityNexus app, tenants use eCall to summon an elevator as they approach it, helping them avoid touching any public surfaces.
