克拉里奇酒店将历史典雅与现代非接触式技术相结合。

古典风格与现代技术可以和谐共存。克拉里奇酒店（Claridge's hotel）最近采用未来的非接触式触摸技术更新了 18 世纪的电梯，证明了这一点。现在，客人在体验超现代化功能的同时，还能欣赏到承载着众多历史故事的传统建筑。

Set in the heart of the affluent Mayfair district of West London, Claridge’s hotel is a 5-star art deco icon and a byword for understated elegance. Over the years, Claridge’s has hosted many dignitaries and famous guests, from Queen Victoria to Winston Churchill, to Audrey Hepburn to Kate Moss.

The hotel was established in 1854 and has established an unwavering reputation for elegance and grandeur. It is famed for its splendor, charm and impeccable service. After a major redevelopment in 1929 by the famous Harrods architect, Oswald Milne, the hotel’s art deco interior has been continually updated to incorporate contemporary luxuries while maintaining its classical glamour and opulence. For the hotel, every detail matters – whether it’s the vast sweeping space of the elegant 18th century Ball Room or one of the 800 pieces of handblown glass which makes up the Dale Chihuly chandelier that hangs in the grand foyer.

At the heart of Claridge’s is one room that, despite being among the smallest, is also one of its most memorable: the oldest working elevator in London. It has transported guests to and from the lobby since 1896. With its vintage scissor gate, art deco tiles, mirrors and upholstered seat, the lift provides a timeless experience for guests.

Claridge’s ambition has always been to innovate and inspire. Moving with the times, the hotel’s interior details are frequently and sensitively interwoven with modern flourishes. And the elevators around the building are no exception. With thoughtful design, the elevators have recently been equipped with state-of-the-art Contactless Touch technology so guests can call and operate them with in-air gestures.

挑战

保护克拉里奇酒店永恒的优雅和独特的 200 年历史至关重要，因为这是其文化遗产的基本组成部分。在现有建筑中引入现代建筑时，电线、机械和组件可能会破坏或毁坏历史文物，因此维护历史建筑是一项挑战。2022 年初，克拉里奇酒店（Claridge's）希望用现代控制装置更新其古董电梯，这又是一项挑战。该电梯也是残障人士进入楼上 12 层的必备设施。因此，在安装过程中尽量减少停机时间也是一个重要因素。

解决方案

克拉里奇酒店需要一个现代化的解决方案，让客人可以呼叫电梯并操作电梯，而无需触摸常用按钮。酒店的目标是给人留下深刻印象并激发灵感，因此他们希望采用一种现代的解决方案，既能让客人感到愉悦，又不会破坏已有 200 年历史的电梯轿厢的原有特色。为此，克拉里奇酒店选择了来自 Dewhurst该公司与迅达电梯合作开发并交付了一流的非接触式解决方案，最大限度地减少了干扰，提高了效果。

For the Landing Operating Panels (LOP), Dewhurst’s Wave to Call landing unit was installed to allow guests to call the elevator from any floor without the need to touch any public surface. These touchless panels permitted the elevator to be called with a simple hand wave.

Inside the elevator, a custom solution was designed for the Car Operating Panel (COP). The new controls were developed using a combination of the Dewhurst US1 Touch Panel and HALO Touchless Car Operating System. The US1 Touch Panel was compatible with the existing Schindler elevator controls and allowed for customization of the digital screen. Dewhurst designed a stylish interface using art-deco fonts, which exhibit subtle animation when a guest selects a number. Floor selection is contactless thanks to the HALO Touchless Car Operating system, which actively monitors the area above the screen and registers calls when guests hover their finger over the floor. The touchless field is made possible with Neonode’s zForce® infrared technology housed inside the fashionable HALO casing.

这种解决方案的优点在于，它可以改装到电梯内部，完全保留原有的外立面和历史特征。Dewhurst 还预先为灯具布线，以克服安装过程中的大量停机时间，实现即插即用的快速安装。

结果

新的非接触式触摸电梯控制装置于 2021 年安装完毕，从里到外提供了安全的非接触式乘坐体验。
