“When the Covid-19 pandemic hit we conducted customer research and learned that a touchless interface would dispel top concerns about employee health and safety. With our customers in mind, we swiftly updated our current designs to include touchless dispensing,” said John Whalen, Senior Vice President, Sales, Marketing, and Customer Service. “Our manufacturing partners were able to pivot with the PSD sensors and then fast track production so we could release the Q8 this year.”
