초록

The massive increase in elevator usage and a severe demand for energy efficiency have prompted manufacturers to develop various innovative technologies, including AC and gearless motors, machine-room-less (MRL) technologies, regenerative drives, elevator ropes, and LED lighting. In addition, manufacturers are providing software solution systems such as destination dispatching systems, people flow solutions, standby mode, and predictive maintenance applications. Future technologies include electromagnetic levitation, circulating multi-car elevator systems, robotization, and drones. This article outlines elevators' technological advancements. It discusses how to harness new technologies and apply them to aging, modern, and future buildings.
