Lifting Escalators into the cloud!
The WEARwatcher is not only available for elevators, but also as a variant for escalators.
Escalators are subject to particular stress. They are usually in continuous use and have to transport a large number of people – every day. A failure has a massive impact on the flow of people in the building concerned.
With the escalator version of WEARwatcher, you can query specific properties such as handrail or chain tension, step breakage, direction of travel or vibration analyses via the cloud. Of course, in case of imminent danger, such as an emergency stop, the responsible technicians are also notified immediately.

Breakdown probability
Within the first few weeks of operation, WEARwatcher builds up an extensive database on which it constantly recalculates the current probability of failure. These mathematical operations take place in the device itself, and the result is visualised as the probability of failure in the cloud dashboard.
