Elevator diaries: connectivity gives them a voice

Digital services are transforming elevators from simple metal boxes shuttling people and things between floors into sophisticated, connected systems. If these newly connected elevators had personalities of their own, what would they be like?

Perhaps there’d be a High Achiever, a no-nonsense, business-first elevator serving a busy office complex. It thrives on efficiency, so whenever it comes to streamlining and optimizing, the High Achiever is always keen. Find out how it feels about making all its performance data easily accessible with Schindler ActionBoard, the digital dashboard provided with every contract.

Or would your elevator become your friendly neighborhood Companion, one always putting passenger comfort first? With its helpful disposition, it lets tenants and guests call the elevator in advance using the passenger app and keeps them informed while on the move thanks to its built-in screen providing real-time information. Weather forecast? Traffic updates? Building announcements? The Companion has you covered.

Finally, there’s the Unsung Hero, quietly toiling away in the background, far from the limelight, but always happy to chat during heavy-duty lifting. With remote equipment monitoring, it stays confident and prepared for any challenge. Think of it as a fitness app with a direct line to a personal trainer who’s constantly watching over your performance.

With a wide selection of digital services powered by cloud connectivity, your elevator can enjoy all these perks, and combine data transparency, enhanced passenger experience, and robust equipment health monitoring.
