Elevator Revolution: Otis Unveils New Modernisation Solutions
Otis, a leading name in elevator and escalator innovation, is thrilled to announce its latest offerings designed to elevate the standards of building management and safety. The company is launching flexible packages that allow customers to modernise their elevator systems in phases, catering to differing budgets and timelines.
Tailored Solutions for Modern Needs
The current landscape in Europe reveals a staggering six million elevators in operation, with remarkably many being over 25 years old. This ageing infrastructure can lead to operational hurdles and customer dissatisfaction. With Otis's new solutions, customers have the opportunity to adhere to stringent European safety standards while also advancing the reliability of their elevator systems.
Flexible Phased Modernisation
Otis's modernisation packages, namely Arise™ MOD Prime and Arise™ MOD Plus, allow building owners and managers to take an active role in upgrading their elevator systems. These choices mean they can decide on the extent and timing of the upgrades, creating a manageable investment in the long-term efficiency and safety of their buildings.
Key Features of Arise™ MOD Packages
Arise™ MOD Prime: A Strong Start
The Arise™ MOD Prime package brings existing elevator control systems in line with the latest safety standards. It minimises hazards by implementing a new electronic drive that precisely mitigates tripping risks. This package also integrates Otis ONE™, an innovative system that monitors and analyses operational data, enhancing service and maintenance support.
Elevating Experience with Arise™ MOD Plus
For those seeking an even higher level of enhancement, the Arise™ MOD Plus includes all benefits of the MOD Prime package while adding new machine technology for a smoother ride. Upgrading to Otis Gen2® belt technology offers a quieter and more comfortable journey for passengers. This option is ideal for buildings aiming for the pinnacle of passenger experience.
Additional Options to Suit Every Building
With Otis, customers are not limited to just the core offerings. Additional enhancements such as modern cab designs, user-friendly in-car control panels, Braille and voice announcements improve accessibility for users of all abilities. These upgrades ensure that every aspect of the elevator experience is catered to meet contemporary demands.
