Taking care of people 

A hospital places unique demands on the people flow solution. There is a steady flow of patients, and during visiting hours there is lots of extra traffic. Accessibility and safety are essential.

KONE solutions take care of these challenges. The reliability of the KONE solution depends both on the solid engineering of the equipment itself and on regular maintenance and modernization.  Preventive maintenance makes it easy to schedule service at the right time – during off-peak hours when patients will not be disturbed and before minor malfunctions can become a problem. With remote monitoring, maintenance crews can check the leveling accuracy and make adjustments even before anyone has noticed a problem.

KONE elevator solutions are available for various lifting capacity requirements in low-rise and mid-rise hospitals. They are easy to keep in good condition, which helps to maintain the required level of hygiene. KONE elevators are also designed to guarantee a smooth ride with perfect leveling between the elevator and the landing. KONE elevator doors open wide to provide easy access for bed patients or people in wheelchairs. Buttons and controls are designed for easy access by hospital staff and people with disabilities.

For conditioned hospital rooms KONE hermetically sealed doors are the ideal solution. They are low in weight and provide a very good level of noise reduction. This type of door is specially designed for use in operating theatres, laboratories and other room environments where air-pressure control and hygiene are of the utmost importance.

KONE solutions help hospitals to do their important work even better.
