Future-proof your building with connectivity 

KONE connectivity changes how your elevators and escalators are maintained, how your building performs, how it feels to the people inside it, and how you manage it day to day. Built into KONE DX elevators, and available for existing buildings as an add on, connectivity is the foundation that makes everything else possible.

    Equipment that looks after itself

    Connected equipment provides continuous monitoring and diagnostic information that helps identify potential issues and support proactive maintenance planning. Certain service actions can be performed remotely, helping reduce unnecessary site visits. When an on-site visit is needed, technicians can use diagnostic information to prepare for service activities more efficiently.

    Modernize with connectivity

    If your building already has elevators or escalators installed, you can add connectivity either as a standalone project or as part of modernization. KONE’s modernization service can upgrade the electrification, signalization, and other elevator systems for a practical, cost-effective way to access the benefits of connected equipment without the disruption of a full replacement project.
