You can change this in the app if you want to head to a different floor.
#Elevator traffic analysis Bluetooth#
In this scenario, when you enter the building the Bluetooth sensor tells the elevator you’ve arrived and if you usually get off on a specific floor, it assumes that’s where you’re headed.
This includes calling the elevator using an app and the Bluetooth sensors on your phone. The new tech also lets people call a remote technician if the elevator gets stuck, letting people inside the elevator communicate with someone who can assure them help is on the way.īut many buildings will likely gravitate to some of the more familiar technology that Otis has baked into its Gen3 platform. Otis also offers an API to clients and now that API will be able to integrate with robots, allowing the robot to call an elevator or ride in elevators when human traffic is light. As someone who talks with my hands, this feels like a potential problem. Some of the options include things like adding voice control to the elevator and using gesture-based controls so one gestures up or down when calling the elevator. But with the new Gen3 platform, these options are supported by the base elevator platform as opposed to requiring a retrofit.
Or screens that play ads, news, and weather while you’re trapped in the box trying to resolutely ignore your fellow riders. Some of the technology Otis showed off is familiar - for example, scanning a key card at the elevator bank to call an elevator that will take you directly to your floor. This week, the company launched what it calls its Gen3 elevator platform, which lets architects and/or building managers add smarts, voice interaction, gesture control, and predictive routing to their elevators.
Climate change, COVID, and the need for smarter, more productive buildings has prompted elevator (and escalator) maker Otis to redesign the elevator.
