siliconindia | | JANUARY 202419How next-generation elevator solutions can contribute to the development of green building concepts in the country: Elevators allow cities to expand upwards instead of outwards, allowing us to effectively reduce urban sprawl and associated negative impacts of traffic congestion, pollution and other key issues that are concerns for many countries in Asia Pacific.In today's times, buildings are responsible for 40 percent of overall energy consumption, and around 10 percent of the building's electricity is consumed by traditional elevators. But this can be overcome with smarter and newer elevator technologies. Using TK Elevator's revolutionary TWIN elevator system as an example, with two elevators operating independently in one shaft, the TWIN offers the benefits of significantly increasing system capacity, without the need for extra elevator shafts. The biggest advantage of our TWIN is its ability to park one of the two cars while the other stays in operation. This means when passenger volumes are low, very little energy is consumed by the non-moving cars. Additionally, the TWIN can be equipped with energy recovery devices that can feed about 30 percent of energy back into the building's power grid.Digital And Sustainable Mobility Solutions "The Major Game Changer":Mobility solutions play a pivotal role in building a sustainable tomorrow. The focus of our innovation is on using the latest technologies to drive energy efficiency and minimise the overall energy consumption of the building.For instance, our elevators can be equipped with MAX, which provides the benefits of data analytics to facilitate predictive maintenance services. MAX is a game-changing predictive and pre-emptive maintenance solution that extends remote monitoring capabilities to dramatically increase the current availability levels of existing and new elevators. Utilizing the power of Microsoft Azure Internet of Things (IoT) technology, MAX predicts maintenance issues before they occur, and empowers elevator engineers by flagging the need to replace components and systems before the end of their lifecycle. Our AGILE Destination Control (DSC), also improves system efficiency and passenger experience by effectively shortening wait and travel times. Compared to conventional elevator control systems, the AGILE DSC increases passenger handling capacity by up to 30 percent Elevators allow cities to expand upwards instead of outwards, allowing us to effectively reduce urban sprawl
