Application of modern technology in Kone elevator

Kone RemoteCall application allows users to call elevators with smartphones and tablets, quickly processing requests to move in buildings to save waiting time.

This is a new study of Kone to bring more benefits for those who live and work in buildings.Kone RemoteCall application works with both iOS and Android operating systems, can be downloaded for free from the App Store and Android Market.

After the user downloads and installs Kone RemoteCall on the phone, the application will link to the server that manages the building's elevator system via the Internet. The server system administrator will authorize individual user accounts according to actual needs and security management issues.

This application helps users to call elevators at any time when they have entered the building. It can also be installed on the tablet system arranged at the front desk for receptionists to pick and give directions to the elevator accurately and quickly.

For elevator systems that require the use of magnetic cards, the application allows calling ladders without having to swipe the card, solving the problem of going to the elevator when forgetting to bring a card or being lost or damaged.

Currently Kone RemoteCall has been applied to Kone Building in Finland and many other buildings in London England such as The Place, UK P4 . The company is continuing to research and perfect this technology to popularize to the global market in the near future.

Besides technology to call elevators with smartphones , Kone also pioneered in researching many new modern technologies. For example, Kone UltraRope ultra-light cable technology is expected to allow future elevator journeys to increase to 1km, twice the current level.

Constructed of carbon core with anti-friction coating, Kone UltraRope is only about 20% lighter than the steel cable in use. This helps reduce energy consumption of elevators in high-rise buildings. The weight of the cable is reduced also significantly reduces the lift moving volume (weight moving parts according to the up and down movement of the balance lift) including tractor, compensating, counterweight, and cabling elevator and load. The total weight of elevator lift decreases, making the travel distance significantly increase.

Thanks to the development of hard and wear resistant materials, the condition of elevator damage caused by shaking buildings is also reduced when carbon fiber resonates regularly with steel and other construction materials.Kone UltraRope has a life expectancy of 2 times that of traditional cables thanks to a special coating, no lubrication required for maintenance, which helps reduce the environmental impact.

For buildings under construction, the company offers a lift solution for ̣̣Kone Jumplift construction to save time. Instead of assembling own industrial hoists located outside the building to transport materials, labor ., the ̣̣Kone Jumplift solution takes advantage of the space for elevators inside the building to install the ladder system. transport. After the construction is completed, this system will be renovated and transformed into a common elevator system.

Kone Jumplift reduces the time workers wait for hoists outside the building, increasing working time. The construction contractors do not need to use external hoists, install the building surface faster and begin to complete the lower floors sooner so that the investor can put the project into operation soon.

In addition, Kone JumpLift outperforms external tractors, optimizing logistics problems because the lower floors are fully closed while the main construction is underway at higher floors. No more outside tractors, the front area can be built sooner and improve the safety of the building.

Kone Group founded in Finland in 1910, is one of the world's leading companies in multi-function elevator solutions. Currently Kone develops business in 150 countries and territories, maintaining over one million global elevators and escalators.

The company has 47,000 employees and 20,000 suppliers, net sales in 2014 reached EUR 7.3 billion. The most modern technology of the company has been used in the tallest building in the world Kingdom Tower (1,000m) in Saudi Arabia as Kone Ultrarope ultra-light cable technology, the world's fastest 2-floor elevator (10m a second) ), point control system to Kone Polaris, elevator for Kone Jumplift construction.

Kone Vietnam Company was established in 2009, introduced to the market the energy-saving and intelligent elevator solutions for the development of buildings by bringing easy and convenient travel experiences. and improve safety.

Mr. Truong Nhat Linh - Director of Kone Vietnam Products and Technology said the company has provided elevator and escalator solutions for many projects in Vietnam such as Masteri Thao Dien, Sunrise City, Diamond Flower, Waterfront, Le Meridien, JW Marriott, Grand Ho Tram Strip ., but the construction height is just under 180m, equivalent to 40 floors.

"We believe new technologies such as Kone Ultrarope ultra-light cable , Kone Polaris destination control system and Kone JumpLift construction service scale will be an advantage for us to access buildings up to 400m in height. future in Vietnam market, " said Mr. Linh.
