What advanced safety features are included in your elevators and how do you ensure compliance with safety standards?
Safety is a core value. All our vertical mobility solutions offer world-class safety features such as overload protection, door safety curtain, machine overheat protection, unintended movement detection, door lock bypass, rescue operation systems and other assorted features that comply with local and international safety standards. Also our destination selection control (DSC) technology enhances efficiency by directing passengers to specific elevators, reducing wait times and minimizing crowding. Our Internet of Things (IoT) systems not only monitor performance but also provide real-time maintenance data that effectively help property owners and engineers address potential issues before they arise.

Do you provide remote monitoring and predictive maintenance for your eleva-tors, and how do these services help in preventing unexpected breakdowns?
The company’s MAX Digital Solution leverages cloud data to schedule mainte-nance, resulting in not only fewer service disruption and safer operations but also significant savings in labour costs. With the help of IoT platforms like MAX, elevators can virtually help technicians accurately predict issues. Our Internet of Things (IoT) solution can increase elevator availability by up to 50 percent by reducing out-of-service situations through real-time diagnostics. MAX proactively predicts maintenance issues and empowers engineers to replace components before the end of their lifecycle.

How can your elevator systems be upgraded with new technologies to meet evolving airport needs?
Airport projects require dependable and efficient mobility systems and even as airport traffic and passenger volumes increase in Indian cities, reliable elevators are more important than ever. Our solutions will provide dependable, energy-saving mobility at airports around the globe even as our global service network of highly skilled professionals will keep their new or retrofitted system operating at peak performance for years to come.
