Monarch BST showcases IoT smart elevator solution – ISEE Expo, Mumbai

 

Monarch BST, an Inovance company, are attending the ISEE elevator expo in Mumbai for the first time where they will be showcasing new features on the NICE Elevator Integrated Solution portfolio, as well as the new IoT (internet of things) smart elevator solution which has been developed specifically for the Indian market.

The IoT elevator solution delivers three core capabilities: predictive maintenance data collection, real-time elevator status monitoring and basic control, and remote elevator test, diagnosis and commissioning capabilities. Predictive maintenance is a relatively new trend, but it will become vital to the elevator industry. Data collection is core to predictive maintenance. With good data collection, OEMs can be notified when pre-selected elevator parameters are breached, allowing maintenance to be scheduled before a failure occurs. Meanwhile, remote elevator status monitoring and basic remote control allows managers to be constantly aware of the status of an elevator. Remote elevator control can allow control of many functions, such as error reset, commissioning and diagnosis assistance, or remote control during emergency elevator operations.

At the ISEE show, Monarch BST is also presenting new features on its range of NICE Integrated Elevator Solutions. The NICE Integrated Solution is an all-in-one integrated controller and drive concept. It is designed for enhanced safety and reliability, as well as reduced cost, and allows for smooth and efficient elevator operations. New features on the NICE range, which are on display at Booth A3, include a mobile-based keypad function, and a jerk-less stopping solution. At a global level, the NICE Integrated Solution has enjoyed very strong success, with over X,000,000 installations.

The establishment of Monarch BST’s India-based research and development team is an important part of the company’s commitment to the Indian government’s Make in India scheme (Make in India is the Indian government’s initiative to support and grow India’s domestic manufacturing sector). Localised R&D means that the company can always ensure that products are tailored to local needs, enabling them to support local Indian elevator OEMs to better compete both globally and locally. Finally, Monarch BST is taking strong steps to support localised control cabinet making by our elevator OEMs and suppliers.

Subramania Bharathiyar, Elevator Product Manager at Monarch BST, says: “It’s a very exciting time for Monarch BST in India right now. The Indian elevator sector is going from strength to strength, and we are constantly recruiting new staff and winning new customers. Our reason for attending ISEE Expo was to meet as many representatives from the Indian elevator sector in person as possible – so that we can show them how our solutions can help them in their mission to become more competitive both locally and globally.”

“Thanks to our large local team, we are well equipped to provide strong aftersales support on a pan-India basis. As a company we strive to show strong support for the Make in India initiative and that is why we have tailored our all new integrated IoT elevator solution to the Indian market (importantly, not only was the solution developed in India, but the physical server that handles all data is also located in India). The new solution brings an array of benefits including remote status monitoring and remote elevator control, as well as predictive maintenance. If you’re at the show, be sure to visit us on Booth A3 where we will be happy to discuss our vision for the Indian elevator industry.”
