Elevator Automation: Transforming Vertical Mobility
1. Destination Control System
Traditional elevators operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Smart elevators, on the other hand, use destination control systems that optimize elevator traffic flow. Passengers input their destination floors on a keypad or mobile app, and the system assigns them to an elevator that will take them to their floor with the fewest stops. This reduces travel time, energy consumption, and crowding.
2. Predictive Maintenance
One of the most significant advantages of elevator automation is predictive maintenance. Sensors and data analytics constantly monitor the elevator's performance and health. Maintenance teams can perform timely repairs by detecting issues before they cause breakdowns, reducing downtime and costs.
