The elevator manufacturing industry gets along with the 4.0 flow

The increasingly widespread Fourth Industrial Revolution is an opportunity for development and integration. The manufacturing industries in general are immersed in that flow and the elevator manufacturing is not out of it.

The field of elevator manufacturing industry has been gradually progressing into the industrial stage 4.0 from the stages of designing, producing and finishing products to installing, operating, maintaining and maintaining equipment. Industry giants such as Otis, Schindler, Mitsubishi, etc. have been applying modern technological achievements to the production, assembly and maintenance of elevator products.

Robots have appeared in many factories manufacturing elevators and escalators from the manufacturing of engines and controls to the stages of pressing the frame of the cabin, machine platforms, cabin walls and elevator doors. The use of computer-controlled and robotic machines has helped improve labor productivity, and people are liberated from hazardous and dangerous working environments.

The stages of installation and operation of elevators as well as escalators are mainly undertaken by humans, from the stage of equipment distribution, mechanical installation to electrical operation. The installation of elevators, especially the mechanical part, is very difficult and equally dangerous, so the elevator companies are trying to free up human labor and the early adoption of robot technology.

Modern elevators in the near future will be connected directly to the monitoring center of the supplier, the elevator company with the help of computers, smart applications will be able to monitor. every elevator in real time thereby helping to detect and timely solve solutions.

Schindler – a famous elevator company from Switzerland is one of the pioneering groups in the research and manufacture of robots installing elevators. Mr. Ta Huy Vu – General Director of Schindler Vietnam said that one of the key growth points of the business is the service sector, especially digital services that help comprehensive management on the 4.0 technology platform – Schindler Ahead. Schindler Ahead is a new generation elevator management solution using IoT platform, machine learning, big data to help Schindler and customers easily manage and monitor the status of elevators anytime and anywhere via a smartphone.

By applying the achievements of science and technology to the processes of design, production, installation and maintenance, not only helps the suppliers themselves improve product quality, reduce costs, increase competitiveness. paintings that customers themselves will enjoy better and safer services. Industry 4.0 is and will bring prosperity to the field of elevator production in the near future.
