In the age of AI already, do you still have so many worries when taking the elevator? (Part 2)
2024-08-30
As we enter and exit elevators, have you ever wondered: What ensures the safety of elevator passengers? Is it well-prepared emergency plans? Or a team of professional rescuers? Yet there’s an even more crucial element—prevention before problems arise.
Let defense take the initiative—G-CLOUD Elevator Cloud, specially designed to solve elevator-related annoyances.
G-CLOUD Elevator Cloud fully leverages its own control system advantages and integrates technologies such as elevator IoT and cloud computing to achieve digitalization and intelligent operation of elevators. Holographic communication sensors monitor the operational status of elevators and generate big data, enabling timely detection of potential safety hazards. This helps customers achieve digital maintenance and predictive maintenance, while also allowing elevator manufacturers and users to confidently fulfill their safety responsibilities and realize efficient, precise, smart management, troubleshooting, and dispatching.
First, prevent “infrequent inspections”: Regularly generate elevator health reports.
An elevator health report, similar to a human physical examination report, is an assessment of the elevator’s current safety condition. Through technical inspections, it identifies potential safety hazards, provides recommendations for corrective actions, and urges the elevator manufacturer, user, management, and maintenance units to strengthen their management and maintenance efforts, ultimately eliminating these hazards.
G-CLOUD Elevator Cloud automatically generates daily, weekly, and monthly reports based on the principles of daily monitoring, weekly inspections, and monthly scheduling. It enables continuous assessment of the current safety status of elevators, providing crucial guidance for their long-term maintenance and management.
Second, prevent “lack of technical expertise”: predictive maintenance.
Elevator maintenance personnel have relatively low incomes and high turnover rates. Among elevator maintenance companies, most maintenance staff have short tenures and lack proficiency in their work. The proportion of highly skilled maintenance personnel is also low, which is another major factor contributing to the inability to guarantee maintenance quality.
The G-CLOUD elevator cloud platform is equipped with an advanced expert system that can precisely monitor abnormal conditions in elevators between routine maintenance intervals. At the same time, leveraging a comprehensive database of experience, it intelligently and automatically recommends the tasks required for the next maintenance, ensuring that each maintenance effort is specifically tailored to address potential issues, thereby significantly enhancing the operational safety and efficiency of elevators.
In the future, G-CLOUD Elevator Cloud will also launch a “Predictive Maintenance Service Based on Large AI Models.” This prediction is the result of big data feedback from the specialized technical learning of AI robots. Ultimately, it will generate intelligent recommendation results that are jointly validated by both expert experience and AI learning.
Three protections against “human negligence”: Automatic recording of maintenance and upkeep processes
In China, elevators are required to undergo maintenance every 15 days. Generally speaking, to ensure the quality of maintenance services, each maintenance technician should ideally be responsible for no more than 30 elevators. However, in reality, according to research conducted by the Zhejiang Provincial Institute for Special Equipment Inspection, many elevator maintenance companies have reached a point where a single maintenance technician is responsible for as many as 50 or 60 elevators—and in some cases, even over 80 or 90 elevators. The heavy workload faced by elevator maintenance technicians stems from a variety of complex factors. Yet, these technicians simply don't have enough time to carry out thorough maintenance, making it virtually impossible to guarantee elevator safety.
Therefore, by ensuring that every maintenance and inspection process has traceable results and a verifiable procedure, we can reduce the occurrence of superficial or perfunctory elevator maintenance.
Four “unpreventable” defenses: intelligent fault diagnosis and automatic identification of people trapped.
When an elevator malfunctions, the G-CLOUD Elevator Cloud immediately and automatically pushes critical information to maintenance personnel, including potential causes of the failure and targeted solutions. At the same time, the system can also monitor the entire emergency repair process in real time, ensuring that the elevator is fully restored to normal operation.
In addition, if a situation arises in which people are trapped, the Elevator Cloud can quickly identify the incident and automatically send notifications to the maintenance provider and elevator management personnel, ensuring a swift response and resolution.
