Modern elevators for
high - rise structures have been leveraging IT based solutions for better
quality of vertical transportation. Mr. Ami Pandya (TOI) has the details
Higher Number of
Floors..!
Higher the number of
floors a building has, more dependent residents are on the elevator. And with
India's leading metros, Mumbai & Delhi, having development plans that
include buildings that might go up all the way to a 100 - plus floors,
there is need to make elevators faster, make the ride smoother, more safe and
secure and in this quest, the simplest solution is to leverage IT-based options
to make the elevator more secure and user-friendly.
The old systems used
in Indian elevators entailed control by an electro-mechanical system, explains
Mr. Sohan Thakur, Director, Saptashree Group. The single aspect that sets the
new elevators apart is that these older elevators were slow, he explains.
The most important
aspect about the new ones is the safety features which are in-built : most of
the new elevators being installed in high - rise structures across Mumbai &
the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) are automated there is no liftman.
Given that senior
citizens as also children end up having to use the elevators all by themselves,
the safety aspect becomes even more critical, he adds.
This is where IT is
the game changer.
Safe, Reliable and
Efficient Elevators..!
The changeover in
India's elevator scenario came from application of IT in elevators, which lead
to positive changes, bringing in fully electronic & microprocessor based elevator control
systems, explains Mr. Sohan Thakur. What was seen as cutting-edge technology
some years ago is now a basic for all safe, reliable and efficient elevators,
set-up in high-rise structures, he further said.
Mr. Jitendra Mehta,
Hon. Secretary, MCHI CREDAI, Thane, gives the example of grouping a number of
high-speed elevators in a building more efficiently, which also ensures optimum
dispatching of elevators to various calls from different floors.
Security access can
also be worked into the elevators systems,so that only nominated individuals
can take elevators to designated floors, he adds.
Elevator safety
expert Mr. Rajnikant Lad explains that initially, elevator companies opted to
first establish connectivity & secondly, bring in uniformity when it came
to materials & hardware. IT helped
Indian elevator companies improve their key processes - this had a positive
impact on customer service.
Safety High Rise
Elevators ..!
After these two ,the
next stage was elevator companies leveraging IT to streamline and make their
business processes more efficient & effective. At present,the leading
elevator companies are in the process of upgrading their connectivity &
hardware, so that effectively, they can enable employees to leverage fully the
integrated systems at the work-place.
Safe, more secure
& speedy are not the only aspects: the high rise elevators also offer
design which fits in with the new wave architecture & interiors,says Mr.
Jitendra Mehta.
These high-speed
elevators spell luxury combined with the very best in technology to give users
an extraordinary experience while using the elevator.
These elevators
incorporate the latest technology with sophisticated controls & intelligent
modular system designs, which definitely surpass existing industry standards.
Effectively,end users can enjoy enhanced touch screen technology as also
aesthetic designs with a wide array of different paint shades, skins &
matching ceiling designs, which provide an exceptional experience in elevation,
explains Mehta.
These new elevators
offer a wide range of capacities, most important, these are safe & secure,
he concludes.
