The Swiss manufacturer unveils the Schindler Ahead platform and myPORT mobile application
Under the theme of “Enabling Smart Buildings for the Future”, Schindler, a leading provider of elevators, escalators, and moving walks, announced two key mobility solutions: Schindler Ahead and myPORT at CTBUH (The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat) Middle East Conference 2018 held in Dubai.
“Leading the industry through digitization and modernization, the new Schindler Ahead solutions will contribute to reshaping the landscape of urban mobility and smart cities,” affirmed Steven Foster, Managing Director, Schindler MENA.
Schindler Ahead offers an innovative digital solution for elevators and escalators, enabling a complete range of new digital products and services. The human-centric platform uses the Internet of Things (IoT) to bring ease in the daily maintenance of units by using insights captured from real-time data. Schindler Ahead will enhance equipment reliability and uptime, while significantly improving safety and offering a superior passenger experience.
Schindler has also developed a unique application known as myPORT, which is a smartphone-based service for personal mobility that offers a seamless four-step identity verification on entry, and user-friendly “e-banking level” security.
Once inside the building, myPORT allows users to move throughout the building just by a click on their smartphones. As a result, occupants will have more freedom and convenience, and building owners will get greater access control.
Schindler also showcased its latest smart solutions for urban mobility at CTBUH 2018 Middle East Conference, including Schindler Building Simulation; an award-winning traffic and building simulation software that helps to define accurate building parameters and create real traffic performance scenarios,
