[News Space=Reporter seungwon lee] Hyundai Elevator won the 'Winner' award in the product category at Germany's 'Red Dot Design Award 2025'.

The product that won Hyundai Elevator the grand prize is the 'Smart Hall Button'. This product combines a foot sensor and AI voice recognition function, allowing you to enter your destination floor without touching it. When a person moves their foot near the 'Smart Hall Button', the AI ​​voice function is activated. The fact that this cutting-edge technology has been incorporated into an intuitive design is considered the background for this award.

Hyundai Elevator's 'Smart Hall Button' is noteworthy for its significant improvement in user accessibility. People with disabilities, the elderly, and even those carrying luggage can use it without using their hands. When the elevator arrives, the 'Smart Hall Button' indirectly lights up, providing visual guidance.

A Hyundai Elevator official said, “The smart hall button has already completed verification and will begin full-scale sales in May,” adding, “We will continue to pursue the development of solutions and products that encompass not only advanced technology but also design and user experience.”
