Malfunctions in old elevators often result from worn-out electrical components. Especially electromechanical components, such as relays and contactors, have a limited lifetime. The best way to increase the performance and reliability of an old elevator is to modernize its electrification system. Modernising the electrification system also eliminates potential safety hazards.
In recent years, safety norms have developed to such an extent that solutions that met the norms when the elevator was new are now considered to be safety risks. One clearly visible result is improved floor leveling, which increases the safety, accessibility and comfort of passengers.
KONE modular electrification solutions cover the whole range of elevators. The same reliable core technology platform can be tailored to provide the right solution for both hydraulic elevators and traction elevators, from low-rise residential buildings to high-rise office blocks. The KONE modular electrification solution can be combined with other KONE modular modernisation solutions, such as doors, signalisation and hoists, to create the most suitable modernisation solution.
