Say goodbye to elevator malfunctions—70% of failures! There’s a solution for upgrading elevator door machines.
2023-07-18
In the elevator industry, there has long been a strong demand for a solution that would both eliminate the hassle of installing and retrofitting old elevators and thoroughly enhance the quality of the upgraded elevators. Recently, through deep technological integration, STEP and JMJ have successfully launched a win-win solution that perfectly balances these two objectives: the Sirius Door Machine Retrofit Platform, which makes elevator door machine upgrades no longer a headache.
Among elevator malfunctions, door system failures account for over 70%. These door system failures have a significant impact on ride efficiency, elevator safety, maintenance frequency, and passenger experience. In the renovation of aging elevators, the most critical aspect is the upgrade of the door machinery. The success or failure of the elevator door machinery upgrade directly affects the overall passenger experience and safety of the renovated elevator. However, analysis of various elevator renovation cases reveals a paradox: the actual demand is strikingly opposite to what might be expected. Many elevator renovation projects don't upgrade the door machinery!
What exactly is the cause of this strange phenomenon? According to the investigation, the elevator renovation contractor was involved in door-machine modifications... High technical difficulty and a long construction period, especially due to project costs. Instead, they voluntarily gave up on upgrading the gate machinery. (Replacing just a few parts and making temporary repairs might keep it running for a while longer, but the underlying fault issues and the passenger experience would remain unresolved.)
Addressing this pain point in the elevator retrofit market, the Sirius Door Operator Retrofit Platform has emerged. Built on STEP nearly 30 years of experience in master control design and JMJ’s expertise in door operator design concepts, this ultra-thin door operator retrofit platform is capable of handling a wide variety of scenarios and complex operating conditions.
#01 Can be installed on various cab types for older elevators.
The Sirius ultra-thin door operator measures only 60mm in thickness, making it easily compatible with various cabin sizes. This makes door operator upgrades a breeze.
#02 For older elevators, various landing doors can be equipped.
Since the door blades and door lock interfaces of the top ten elevator brands in the industry differ from one another—and some elevator companies alone offer multiple types of door blade and door lock interfaces—when retrofitting older elevators with new door machinery, the only viable options are either to have the original manufacturer handle the upgrade or to replace both the door machinery and the landing doors entirely. Not only is this approach costly, but it also involves lengthy project timelines, deterring many retrofitting companies from taking on such projects.
#03 For aging elevators, the entire set of landing doors can be retained without any structural modifications.
The Sirius door operator is compatible with various types of landing doors, so no need to replace the landing doors during retrofitting—thus preserving the original floor decor. More importantly, this approach significantly reduces both retrofitting costs and project duration. It truly is: Enter the gaps with nothing substantial.
Moreover, Sirius offers retrofit solutions for door operators that are compatible with mainstream door systems on the market, covering major models from leading elevator brands. We provide a comprehensive range of non-standard door operator retrofit solutions and offer a complete selection of door blade series, including both inward-sliding and outward-opening types, easily accommodating various door lock interfaces from Japanese and European manufacturers. We have achieved: The stars are intuitively aligned and become one.
The Sirius ultra-thin door operator offers the following advantages:
1. Convenient surveying and mapping: For conventional gantry crane upgrades, only the construction site needs... Take 4 photos. That’s it—operations are no longer complicated, the requirements have been greatly reduced, and generally, a single on-site service technician can complete the task alone.
2. Quick replacement: Replacing a standard gate operator requires only four simple steps. Once the replacement is complete, the Sirius gate operator will be ready for use. No debugging required, Can be powered on and operated directly.
3. Complete solutions: We offer door machine retrofit solutions tailored to mainstream door systems on the market, easily accommodating various door lock interfaces from Japanese and European manufacturers.
4. Localized service: The Sirius Gate machinery boasts four major manufacturing bases in Guangzhou, Suzhou, Tianjin, and Chengdu, covering the entire country with logistics that are accessible anytime, anywhere.
5. Thoughtful service: The Sirius Service Hotline is available 24 hours a day to assist you and address any concerns you may have regarding your door machine upgrades.
6. Cloud-based monitoring: The Sirius gateway is connected to the STEP master controller, and the STEP elevator cloud provides data support.
7. Enhanced Experience: Sirius Variable-speed door operator Patented technology enhances the riding experience by enabling the variable-speed door mechanism to adaptively adjust door-opening and closing speeds based on differences in elevator usage scenarios and time factors. This effectively saves time during peak periods and improves the efficiency of door operations, adding greater value to the renovation project.
Elevator safety is closely tied to people's livelihoods, and the retrofitting of elevator door machines will undoubtedly play an increasingly important role and exert a more critical function. “The stars, with their subtle connection, merge into one; the body, devoid of thickness, enters the spaces between.” The Tianlangxing door machine makes retrofitting simpler, services easier, elevators safer, and passengers more comfortable. This is the responsibility and commitment of elevator professionals—and it’s also the aspiration and dream passed down through generations of elevator workers.
