To ensure smooth people flow, KONE modernization solutions keep the elevators, escalators and automatic doors running safely and reliably for the lifetime of the building.
KONE modernization increases safety and convenience, and improves the aesthetic appeal of the elevator or escalator, with minimum disruption to passengers. KONE Care for Life™ is a systematic analysis of the equipment, paying special attention to issues of safety, usability, performance, and aesthetic appearance. Based on this assessment, the customer and KONE together plan the upgrade. KONE modernization solutions range from replacing individual components to full replacement.
With modular modernization KONE can replace only the necessary components, reducing costs and the installation time required. KONE has elevators solutions that fit in existing shafts with minimum disruption, covering electrification, hoisting, car and car interiors, doors and signalization. KONE's elevator modernization packages enable fast, cost-effective, non-disruptive installation. Thanks to its modular approach for escalators, KONE is the only company that can offer complete escalator modernization without the expense and disruption of removing the old truss. Modernization is quick, with minimal impact on the building and people flow.
KONE has solutions to replace the existing equipment or install new equipment in existing locations. KONE’s full replacement solutions for elevators are designed and manufactured as complete units, which makes installation easy. For escalators you can choose either full modernization with KONE EcoMod™, where you retain the truss, or full replacement, where you replace the entire installation including the truss.
KONE provides all kinds of upgrade and modernization solutions for existing automatic doors. KONE’s unique UniDrive® Retrofit Kit has been developed especially for modernization and upgrades. The Retrofit Kits enable full replacement of the mechanical and electrical parts of the doors, ensuring that they comply with safety, durability and efficiency standards, without changing the door construction.
For passengers, modernization with KONE means safety, comfort, and the aesthetic appeal of modern design. For building and facility managers, it means improving performance, energy efficiency and people flow with minimum disruption and maximum availability. And for owners, it means predictable lifecycle management.
