How are technologies like machine learning and predictive maintenance enhancing vertical mobility and improving cost efficiency in India’s buildings?Smart elevators are transforming urban mobility in India by using machine learning (ML) and predictive maintenance to enhance efficiency in high-rises. ML analyses real-time usage patterns to optimise operations, reducing wait times, improving passenger flow, and cutting energy consumption.Predictive maintenance, powered by AI and IoT, detects wear and potential failures early, preventing breakdowns and reducing repair costs. Remote monitoring enables quick issue resolution, minimising disruptions.Smart elevators also boost cost efficiency with energy-saving technologies like regenerative drives and AI-driven destination control, lowering electricity and operational expenses. Despite initial costs, their long-term savings, reliability, and improved user experience make them essential for modern high-rises.How do regenerative drives and energy-efficient systems support sustainability goals in urban developments across India?Energy-efficient smart elevators are driving sustainability in India’s high-rise sector by reducing energy consumption and operational costs. Technologies like regenerative drives and AI-driven energy management systems support eco-friendly urban mobility while aligning with India’s sustainability goals.Regenerative drives capture excess energy during elevator movement and feed it back into the building’s power grid, cutting energy use by 30-50 per cent. AI optimises power usage by adjusting operations based on demand, while sleep mode functions and LED lighting further enhance efficiency.Green certifications like LEED and IGBC, along with government smart city initiatives, are accelerating adoption. By integrating these technologies, India’s high-rise sector is moving toward a greener, more sustainable future.How do autonomous elevators and AI optimisation affect mobility and technology in India’s rapidly growing cities?Autonomous elevators, powered by AI, are transforming urban mobility in India’s growing cities by enhancing efficiency, safety, and sustainability. These smart systems analyse passenger traffic, predict demand, and optimise travel routes, reducing wait times and congestion.AI-driven predictive maintenance minimises breakdowns, lowering repair costs and improving reliability. Touchless controls enhance accessibility and hygiene, while advanced elevator systems like TWIN elevators—featuring two independent cabins in one shaft—boost passenger throughput without increasing space requirements.As smart cities advance, autonomous elevators are becoming essential for efficient urban infrastructure, optimising traffic flow, reducing energy use, and seamlessly integrating with smart building systems.(Communication by the management of TK Elevator India.)
