SCHINDLER ID
TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
The Schindler ID solution continuously
calculates the optimum journey
for every passenger using a bank of
elevators. The result is
shorter journey times,
energy savings and fewer
elevators (and shafts)
needed for a given building
population. Schindler
ID also makes provision
for special-needs passengers
by holding an elevator’s
doors open for
longer or directing a passenger
to an empty car.
Schindler ID combines
traffic management with
user-recognition software, complementing
a building’s security systems
and allowing the management
to determine which areas are accessible
to whom. It is especially valuable
in today’s high-rise structures,
which often house apartments, offices,
shops and leisure facilities.
Advantages
For architects, the technology delivers
considerable design flexibility,
because elevators do not need to be
housed in the same lobby. Also,
fewer elevators mean there is more
space to rent.
For the user, Schindler ID is intended
to be simple. A building occupant
arriving for work, for instance,
can hold a preprogrammed card or
device in front of a Schindler ID terminal,
and the screen immediately
directs the individual to the elevator
taking the fastest route to his or her
floor. The system controls access to
all floors and can be adjusted at any
time; for instance, during renovation
work. When the elevator systems
themselves need to be renewed, individual
elevators can be taken out
of service for a step-by-step modernization
without compromising the
overall performance of the system.
Schindler ID delivers the same
benefits in existing buildings, where
it can be applied with minimum disruption
to all elevator systems. It can
easily be installed in the elevator
machine room, alongside existing
control mechanisms. Since it optimizes
elevator usage, it instantly
cuts the overall number of journeys
for a given group of elevators, boosting
a building’s elevating capacity
and saving energy.
GEFRAN PRODUCTS FOR
THE LIFT INDUSTRY
by Bhupesh Katakkar
The Gefran Group has been in the
industrial-automation sector for more
than 30 years. The group offers a
range of products to regulate the
speed of electric motors and solutions
for civil sectors. In particular,
by specializing in the civil hoistingequipment
sector and working with
lift manufacturers on an international
scale, it has contributed to the production
of various types of systems.
The modernization of existing systems,
new systems (with and without
a machine room), and applications
with synchronous and asynchronous
motors (with and without reducers),
be handled with Gefran drives.
The Platform of the Lift Inverter
The ADL200 is a technological
platform designed for driving gearless
or geared synchronous and induction
machines. It integrates the
lift-inverter technology for maximum
synergy with a range of installation
requirements. In addition, it offers a
cost-effective and immediate solution
for lift control systems. Continued
