Core functions

How KONE E-Link™ works?

KONE E-Link™ gives you remote configuration and a real-time view of all your equipment. It covers four core functions that together put you in complete control.

  • Illustration monitor

    1. Monitor

    Real-time traffic view

     

    Monitor transportation demand, check capacity, and identify possible technical failures for all equipment in real time. Building layouts and aerial maps can be used as visual references for easy identification of equipment across large complexes. Any deviation from normal operation triggers an instant alert that gets logged automatically for reporting and liability purposes.

  • Illustration elevator escalator users

    2. Control

    Remote commands and access control

     

    Issue commands to individual elevators or groups – car calls, priority calls, mode changes, floor lockouts, and parking – remotely from your workstation. Schedule recurring commands automatically using a user-configurable weekly program. Escalator remote control is also available, giving you full command of your building's people flow without on-site intervention.

  • Illustration record

    3. Record

    Traffic history playback

     

    Every elevator and escalator event is logged and stored for later analysis. The unique traffic history playback feature lets you rerun and study equipment operation over any selected period. Invaluable for investigating incidents, responding to tenant complaints, and supporting liability cases.

  • Illustration review

    4. Review

    Comprehensive reporting

     

    A comprehensive set of graphical, easy-to-read reports enables thorough analysis of equipment performance, availability, and operational quality. Reports cover calls per hour, waiting times, elevator and escalator availability, fault logs, and more. All data can be exported to Excel or PDF for further analysis and planning.
