The Kontakt.io Universal Dispenser Beacon is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device that mounts on the side of a wide range of soap and sanitizer dispensers — including pump-based and automatic models — to detect and record hand hygiene dispense events. Because it attaches to the dispensers you already have, you can add monitoring without replacing existing hardware. Events are reported to Kio Cloud through a gateway, where Hand Hygiene turns them into compliance data.
