Touchless Technologies: Keyless Entry Trends and Property Management

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about many changes to our lives, and now as we slowly return to work, property managers are assessing every aspect of their portfolio to ensure they are providing the safest spaces possible. In doing so, certain technologies are being adopted faster than others and no more so than touchless systems which can help reduce common touchpoints, helping safeguard against the spread of COVID-19 on surfaces.

James Scott, Lead Researcher at MIT’s Real Estate innovation Lab will provide a background to all aspects of this area outlining touch and voice activated devices, facial recognition, sensor-based technology and RFID systems, while also looking at some of the more interesting companies providing these systems.
