elevator in future

How will elevators be in the future? Have you ever thought about this question? Certainly not! Given the prominent role of elevators in today's lives, most people have become accustomed to this means and the idea of significant changes in this magical box is somewhat far-fetched. Although elevators have experienced many changes over the past century. What do you think is the difference between future generation elevators and current elevators? The most important difference in the future generation of elevators is the provision of modern technologies and services in the elevator industry. In this article, we intend to familiarize you with the future of elevator technology and show you how elevators can become a smart, efficient, and sustainable means of transportation in the future.

The Future of Elevators

Elevators may seem very simple at first, a magical box that can open and close and move up and down. That simple! But in fact, it is not like that, and elevators will undergo significant changes and transformations over time and in the future. In fact, buildings that go higher and higher every moment and their height increases demand exactly that. To keep up with the new towers that are rapidly being built in the Emirates, elevator manufacturers are forced to make changes to elevators at the same speed that buildings are rising. Other elevators and buildings are no exception to this. Elevators, like escalators, have experienced the following changes in different eras. Of course, this process is still ongoing.
• Destination Control Systems (DCS)
• Smart elevators
• Green elevators
• Increased safety in elevators
• Internet of Things (IoT)
• Personalization

Destination Control Systems (DCS)

Destination Control Systems (DCS) are more popular in tall buildings. These systems allow passengers to select their destination floor before entering the elevator. They then direct them to the best elevator to reduce passenger wait times.

Smart Elevators

Elevators will become smarter in the future with the use of sensors and advanced control systems. Smart elevators in the future can control the weight and movement of passengers, adjust elevator speed to reduce energy consumption, and even predict the need for repairs and maintenance.

Green Elevators

As energy efficiency takes priority, elevator manufacturers are developing elevators that consume less energy and use sustainable materials. Some new elevators can even generate electricity while working and reduce overall energy consumption.

Safety Features

Safety is always a priority, and modern elevators use advanced safety features such as emergency lighting, automatic doors, and advanced braking systems. For this reason, safety features in elevators are at the forefront in the future

Integration of the Internet of Things (IoT)

The integration of Internet of Things technology enables elevators to connect to building management systems and provide real-time monitoring and control. This can include predicting elevator repairs and maintenance, remote diagnostics, and real-time performance monitoring.

Personalization

One of the main features of future elevators is elevator personalization. Elevator manufacturers are also exploring ways to personalize the elevator experience for passengers. This can include custom lighting and music, as well as the ability to control the elevator using a smartphone app. However, these technologies are also available in some current elevators.
In general, elevators are becoming smarter, more efficient, and safer, as well as being personalized for the needs and preferences of passengers.

Multi-directional elevators (Maglev); ThyssenKrupp's future elevators

If you have a weak heart, be careful! This is a title that the elevator company ThyssenKrupp has stated in the unveiling of its new generation of elevators. ThyssenKrupp refers to its future elevators as the "Elevator Industry Cup." One of the companies and brands that has a modern and interesting idea in the field of elevators in the future is the ThyssenKrupp elevator company. The new generation elevators of this company are also known as multi-directional elevators.
The future technology of ThyssenKrupp elevators is based on Maglev technology, or magnetic levitation. Future elevators equipped with this technology can move in any direction in the building. These elevators, also known as Multi elevators, have the following features and capabilities.
•     Increase in speed
•    Improvement in efficiency
•     Better management of building space
•     Energy consumption reduction

Future elevators KONE

What do you imagine the future elevators of the fourth top elevator company in the world to be like? KONE Elevator Company, which is one of the prominent companies in the elevator industry, manufactures its elevators with the latest technologies. One of the biggest achievements of KONE Elevator Company is the construction of motorless elevators or roomless elevators. The company's plans for future elevators include the following.
•     Elevators that can move in high-rise buildings with high speed and capacity
•     Elevators equipped with the KONE JumpLift system: to increase the speed and efficiency of the elevator
•   Elevators equipped with the KONE UltraRope system: for carrying loads to high heights

Two-story elevator technology for future buildings

Did you know that two-story elevators can double the passenger capacity? Two-story elevators are an elevator technology for future buildings. As prominent global elevator companies in the field of future elevators have extensive and diverse activities, two-story elevators are also visible on the list of future elevators. These types of elevators, which place one cabin on top of another, provide the ability to use the elevator for two consecutive floors, thus saving space, time, and energy. These elevators are suitable for tall and busy buildings such as hotels, airports, metro stations, and financial towers. The first two-story elevator was installed in 1931 at the Rich Carlton Hotel in New York. Today, some of the world's famous towers, such as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the Petronas Tower in Kuala Lumpur, and the Shanghai Tower in China, also use two-story elevators.

Japanese Space Elevator

Imagine one day being able to go to space with an elevator! It is undoubtedly a very interesting and different experience. Perhaps this trip is just a dream for you; but in fact, it is a scientific goal that Japanese researchers are trying to achieve by 2050. One of the biggest future elevator projects is the Japanese space elevators, which require the use of innovative technologies and high-strength materials. The Japanese space elevator, which is one of the future elevators, is supposed to be built with special programs and equipment. This elevator is supposed to pull a long cable from the ground to a space station at an altitude of 36,000 kilometers and move cabins in any direction using linear motors. This elevator can be used to transport humans and cargo to space and have benefits such as cost reduction, increased safety, and reduced pollution. But this elevator also has its own challenges, such as energy supply, resistance to weather conditions, various space threats, and legal and political issues.

Summary

The new generation of future elevators, using artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, magnetic systems, and other modern technologies, have the potential to provide better, faster, and safer services to passengers. One of the great transformations of elevators in the future is the direction of elevator movement, which is not limited to vertical movement only. Future elevators also have the ability to move horizontally, and what could be better than that! In this article, we tried to introduce and explore the future of elevator technology, as well as highlight the benefits of these elevators so that you have a better understanding of these elevators. In future articles of the Lift Peak, we will provide more information about future generation elevators.
