Stern Patented Touchless Cubicles – A High-Traffic Restroom Solution with Optional TOI & VacantView
Airport restrooms require efficient, hygienic, and high-capacity solutions to accommodate thousands of daily travelers. Stern’s Patented Touchless Cubicles provide a fully integrated, sensor-activated access system, improving hygiene, privacy, and passenger flow. These cubicles can be further enhanced with TOI (Top Occupancy Indicator) and VacantView, offering real-time restroom occupancy monitoring for high-traffic areas.
Touch-Free Access for Improved Hygiene & User Experience
Stern’s Touchless Cubicles operate using hand proximity sensors, allowing users to open and lock doors without physical contact. The system also offers an optional manual override for accessibility and personal preference.
- Sensor-Activated Door Locking System – Users lock/unlock cubicles with a wave of the hand, minimizing touchpoints and contamination risks.
- LED Indicator for Occupancy Status – The exterior LED indicator functions as a standard restroom lock, signaling whether the cubicle is occupied or vacant.
- Manual Control Option – Provides backup functionality for accessibility and ease of use.
- Pre-Wired Panels – Delivered pre-wired to eliminate complex on-site installation.
- Power-Efficient System – Operates on a 15-volt electrical transformer, supporting up to four cubicles from a single power source.
Durable & Seamless Design for High-Traffic Environments
- 42mm (1.65”) Thick HPL Panels – Provide long-term durability, structural integrity, and resistance to heavy use.
- Seamless Floor-to-Ceiling Partitions – Designed for maximum privacy, minimizing visible seams.

Optional Addition – TOI & VacantView for Enhanced Occupancy Management
To further optimize passenger flow and restroom efficiency, Stern’s Patented Touchless Cubicles can be upgraded with TOI (Top Occupancy Indicator) and VacantView.
