STEP and Hainayun Forge Strategic Partnership to Jointly Build a New Ecosystem for Intelligent and Secure Elevator Protection.
2025-11-26
On November 25, 2025, STEP, a leading enterprise in the industrial automation sector, and Hainayun, the digital urban security monitoring platform under Haier Group, officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement. Chen Huafeng, Vice President of STEP, and Sun Yunlei, Vice President of Hainayun, signed the agreement on behalf of their respective companies. The two sides will engage in deep collaboration across four key areas—joint standard-setting, co-research on technologies, platform interoperability, and ecosystem synergy—to jointly promote the intelligent upgrade of elevator predictive maintenance and full-lifecycle management systems. This collaboration marks the official entry of the elevator safety monitoring industry into a new AI-driven era.
Strong Collaboration: Complementary Technologies Set a New Industry Benchmark
As a publicly listed company specializing in industrial automation and motion control technologies in China, STEP boasts deep technological expertise and extensive market experience in the field of elevator control systems. Meanwhile, Haina Cloud, leveraging Haier Group’s leading edge in IoT, big data, and urban safety monitoring, has developed an intelligent management platform that covers multiple scenarios for urban safety. This collaboration will achieve all-round integration of hardware and software, technology and platform, as well as data and algorithms.
Under the agreement, the two parties will jointly develop next-generation smart elevator monitoring hardware, enabling real-time integration of elevator operational data with the city’s safety platform. At the same time, they will leverage AI algorithms to create predictive maintenance models, allowing for early warning and intelligent diagnosis of elevator malfunctions. This innovative approach will fundamentally transform the traditional passive “reactive maintenance” model into a proactive, preventive safety management strategy.
Innovative Breakthrough: AI Large Models Empower a New Future for Elevator Safety
Notably, this collaboration marks the first time that large-scale industry-specific model technology has been introduced. By leveraging deep learning and intelligent analysis of massive amounts of elevator operation data, a self-learning elevator health assessment system has been developed. This system can monitor elevator operating conditions in real time, accurately predict potential failure risks, and create personalized maintenance plans for each elevator.
Empowered by large AI models, we are able to achieve a transformative upgrade—from “experience-based maintenance” to “data-driven maintenance.” This not only enhances the precision of elevator safety management but also significantly reduces operation and maintenance costs, providing users with a more reassuring elevator riding experience.
Ecological Co-construction: Building a New Paradigm for Smart City Security
This collaboration is not only a strategic move for both companies but also an important component of smart city development. Haina Cloud will integrate elevator safety monitoring data into the City Safety Brain, enabling coordinated management of elevator safety and urban public safety. In the future, elevator safety data will be interconnected with urban service systems such as fire protection, emergency response, and healthcare, thereby building a comprehensive urban safety protection network.
As urbanization accelerates and the number of elevators continues to grow, the demand for intelligent maintenance services is becoming increasingly prominent. This collaboration between STEP and Hainayun will usher the elevator safety monitoring industry into a brand-new era of intelligence, contributing to the creation of a safer and smarter urban living environment.
