Touchless operation can be configured according to the requirements of the building, passenger volume, security needs and elevator design.
How Voice-Controlled Elevators Work
Voice-controlled elevators use voice recognition technology to interpret predefined commands and communicate those commands to the elevator control system.
A passenger may give a command such as a floor number or another supported instruction. The system processes the command and sends the corresponding request to the elevator controller.
The exact functionality depends on the selected voice-control system, elevator controller and building integration.
Typical Voice-Controlled Functions
Depending on the configuration, voice-controlled elevators can support functions such as:
- Calling the elevator
- Selecting a destination floor
- Opening or closing doors through supported commands
- Accessing specific floors
- Providing voice-based passenger information
- Integrating with building automation systems

| Hygiene consideration | Frequent button contact | Reduced button contact |
The ideal solution depends on the building’s requirements and the level of touchless functionality desired.
Is a Touchless Elevator Completely Contact-Free?
Not necessarily.
The term “touchless elevator” generally refers to reducing or eliminating the need to physically operate conventional elevator controls. The exact degree of contact-free operation depends on the technology installed.
For example, a project may use voice-based floor selection while retaining physical controls as an alternative interface. Other systems may incorporate sensors, mobile access or destination-control technologies.
A detailed project assessment is therefore important before selecting the appropriate system.
Are Voice-Controlled Elevators Safe?
Voice control is an interface technology and does not replace the elevator’s fundamental safety systems.
A properly designed elevator continues to rely on appropriate elevator controls, safety devices, door protection systems, emergency systems and other required safety mechanisms.
Voice-controlled functionality is integrated as an additional method of passenger interaction.
