  • Detecting Problems

    • Breakdown Probability
    • Increased availability
    • Prevention of defects
    • Minimisation of downtimes
    • Precise predictable maintenance
    • Control-system independent
    • Increasing service life of components
    • Boost in service quality

Detecting problems and abnormalities before the lift system is negatively influenced

Thanks to our long-standing experience in elevator/lift measurement technology, we were developing trendsetting algorithms, which automatically record and assess the state of elevator/lifts and make it possible to plan service calls by your technician in advance and to optimise them.


Problem

From the perspective of the market

Qualified personnel

  • Lack of qualified personnel
  • Downtimes for maintenance/testing of the elevators/lifts/escalators

Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) monitoring systems for elevators/lifts

  • High price
  • Tailor-made for the lift of the OEM unit; not for third-party elevators/lifts/escalators

IoT elevator/lift monitoring solutions

  • Collected sensor data (vibration, distance, etc.) are not implemented into recommended actions
  • Breakdown Probability
Problem

From the perspective of interested parties

Supervisory authorities

  • Safety defects and accidents
  • Lack of specialists aggravates situation

Operators / Facility management companies

  • Downtimes lead to complaints by the building occupants
  • no uniform, cross-manufacturer overview of the status of elevators/lifts
  • Responsible for elevators/lift safety

Management of elevator/lift companies

  • Lack of qualified personnel
  • Major competition for maintenance contracts
  • Increasingly stricter laws and regulations

Specialists in elevator/lift companies

  • Risky work environment
  • Short time constraints with a high workload to minimise 
  • downtimes
  • Repeat visits required due to missing spare parts or 
  • diagnosis tools

Specialists in elevator/lift companies

  • 24/7 remote monitoring
  • Early detection of wear of components
  • Error diagnosis before visit to the elevator/lift
  • Efficent spare part procurement 

Increases quality and efficiency – lowers costs

Record actual condition

The WEARwatcher enables predictive maintenance of a lift and can be used, independent of the control system and manufacturer, on lifts of every age. Thanks to our long-standing experience in the lift measurement technology, we have been developing trendsetting algorithms, which automatically record and assess the state of lifts, make it possible to plan service calls in advance and to optimise them.


Analyse and assess

As a real edge computing device, the WEARwatcher analyses recorded data in an in-depth manner, on site, on the elevator and sends the results in form of notifications, alarms, trends and condition changes to the Henning WEARwatcher cloud. There, this data is further analysed by the use of artificial intelligence and self-learning algorithms.


Report & recommendation

For monitoring medium- and large-sized inventories of lift systems, Henning WEARwatcher cloud generates monthly reports, which enable easy and efficient assessment and a ready display of recommended and needed actions.
