  • Intelligent mobility for public transport in Bogotá

    Intelligent mobility for public transport in Bogotá

    Schindler is the sole supplier of lifts and escalators for Line 1 of the new elevated railway system in Bogotá. The metro line will use fully automated, driverless railway systems to provide modern, reliable local transport in the Colombian capital. The Schindler systems will therefore be customised to meet the special requirements of public transport, the company announced in a press release. The lifts will be equipped with easily accessible control buttons to enable barrier-free access to the stations.

    The Schindler Technical Operations Centre (TOC) in Medellín will monitor each lift and escalator remotely around the clock. The Schindler ActionBoard will also provide real-time status reports of all lifts and escalators, helping to optimise uptime and ride quality for passengers.

    “We are incredibly proud to be part of this historic project with our lifts and escalators,” said Vikén Martarian, responsible for the Americas and Escalators region, in the press release. “Bogotá will become more accessible for the people who live, work and visit the capital. Thanks to our lifts and escalators, they will be able to move around the metro stations more easily and comfortably.”

    From 2028, Line 1 of the Bogotá Metro will be the first metro line in the Colombian capital to transport over 1 million passengers a day. The line comprises 16 stations over a length of 23.9 kilometres.

  • Schindler and ISS become partners in vertical mobility

    Schindler and ISS become partners in vertical mobility

    According to a press release, Schindler and the building service provider ISS , headquartered in Zurich, have signed a global framework agreement to optimize ISS’ vertical mobility solutions. The cooperation makes the Ebikon-based provider of elevators and escalators the “preferred partner for the maintenance and modernization of elevators and escalators” in ISS buildings worldwide.

    In particular, Schindler’s “real-time performance and maintenance monitoring” is to be used in ISS services. ISS specializes in the design of workspaces and building management and has buildings in more than 30 countries.

    According to the media release, the focus of the partnership is on “tailor-made solutions to optimize the flow of people in buildings managed by ISS worldwide and thus make the stay in these buildings more pleasant”.

    The cooperation should also help to support ISS in its sustainability efforts, according to Paolo Compagna, operational manager at Schindler. The Schindler Port 4D product will be used to achieve the intended net-zero emissions. It can reduce the energy consumption of an elevator group by up to 40 percent. Further support for achieving the sustainability goals should bring “modernization and the introduction of adaptive maintenance solutions”.

  • Schindler optimizes transport times in buildings

    Schindler optimizes transport times in buildings

    Schindler has launched a new generation of building transit management called Schindler Port 4D. A smartphone app developed in-house is integrated into this latest version of its existing transit management solution.

    According to a media release from the Ebikon company, Schindler Port 4D reduces the energy consumption of an elevator group by up to 40 percent. In addition, functions such as face recognition, robotics and digital entertainment can be integrated. For example, architects and planners can use hardware and software interfaces to regulate who has access to a building, when and where, or who is transported, and when digital entertainment is played.

    “Buildings are built for people,” said Florian Troesch, who is responsible for transit management solutions. “With Schindler Port 4D, we are making buildings even more attractive, environmentally friendly and more easily accessible.”
