The Paris business district of  La Defense will become home to a spectacular new skyscraper, featuring thyssenkrupp’s TWIN lifts with two cabins instead of just one moving in the same shaft.

thyssenkrupp Elevator will deliver 12 TWIN lift systems, a technology that increases transport capacity and improves energy efficiency.

Arrow Electronics helps Hong Kong engineers develop monitoring device for lift safety

February 11, 2019 by Anna

Arrow Electronics has enabled Nikko Group, a Hong Kong-based lift services company, to incorporate IoT and sensor technologies in a solution that provides real-time data monitoring for a lift safety protection mechanism.

Following a series of fatal lift accidents in Hong Kong in recent years, the Electrical and Mechanical Service Department reported that 80 percent of lifts in Hong Kong have not adopted the recommended enhancement solutions set out in the government’s “Guidelines for Modernising Existing Lifts”.

This includes the installation of an Unintended Car Movement Protection (UCMP) device, which is a safety device that triggers emergency braking systems to prevent unintended lift car movements which may cause fatal injuries.
