thyssenkrupp Elevator brings transformative service technology to BOMA 2017

• Microsoft HoloLens, the groundbreaking mixed reality elevator service intervention device, is available for viewing and demoing in Booth 721.
• A Learning Lab educational session, “Cutting Edge Technology Speeds Elevators Toward the Future,” will be held Tuesday, June 27 from 12:30-1:00 in Exhibit Hall BC

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (June 24, 2017) – thyssenkrupp Elevator’s commitment to transforming the global elevator service industry continues at the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) International Annual Conference & Expo, which is being held June 24-27 at the Music City Center in Nashville. In Booth 721, attendees will have the opportunity to demo Microsoft HoloLens, the groundbreaking mixed reality device that significantly reduces service intervention times, as well as discuss other technological advancements that will improve how elevators are maintained moving forward.

Today, more than ever, building owners and property managers cannot afford to have vertical transportation downtime at their facilities. In an effort to keep elevators operating at peak efficiency, thyssenkrupp Elevator has been working with its partners to push elevator service and maintenance to new heights through innovations like the HoloLens and MAX.

Using HoloLens, service technicians can visualize and identify problems with elevators in advance of a service call. HoloLens provides remote, hands-free access to technical and expert information onsite, resulting in increased building uptime. Initial field trials have shown that a service maintenance intervention can be done up to four times faster than ever before.

Meanwhile, MAX is the elevator industry’s first real-time, cloud-based predictive maintenance solution. MAX dramatically reduces elevator availability by reducing out-of-service situations through real-time diagnostics. 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 life cycle.

Matt Watkins, EVP of thyssenkrupp Elevator, says: “Providing every passenger with the safest and most comfortable travel experience requires a never-ending commitment to researching and developing the most advanced methods and technologies that help us better achieve that goal. That commitment also extends to the services we provide to building owners and managers, and we’re excited to share a few of these next-generation technologies with BOMA attendees.”

thyssenkrupp Elevator will also be hosting a Learning Lab educational session on Tuesday, June 27 from 12:30-1:00 in Exhibit Hall BC, entitled “Cutting Edge Technology Speeds Elevators Toward the Future.” The discussion will include a look at the dramatic shift in “state-of-the-art” elevators, examining the technologies and innovations that will shape vertical transportation and urban mobility for years to come. Building owners and property managers will also learn how to approach their short- and long-term planning, as well as modernization upgrades critical to any elevator system.
