10 Ways IoT Is Changing Elevators Through Predictive Maintenance
There is no doubt that IoT, or Internet of Things, has been advantageous to businesses by facilitating communication between various devices, as well as between devices and the cloud. Besides business processes, IoT is also transforming infrastructural devices such as elevators and escalators beyond their utilitarian function of carrying people between the levels of a building with speed and comfort. It does so through predictive maintenance. IoT’s technical capabilities let the devices manage large streams of performance data and predict maintenance requirements and impending failures at a fraction of the time and effort it would take a human technician to perform that kind of analysis. Here are the 10 benefits of IoT-enabled elevators: 1. Improved Predictive Maintenance The biggest advantage of IoT-enabled elevators is the improvement of its preventive maintenance schedule and transforming the elevator into a predictive maintenance model. The device can now monitor changes in operating conditions, like heat, friction, or noise. This data is then communicated in real-time from the escalators to maintenance teams and clients, allowing professionals to foresee possible issues before they occur and provide solutions. 2. Ability to Monitor Operating Conditions Depending on the elevator manufacturer and model, IoT-enabled devices enable professionals to gather
