Everything you need to manage your building's people flow

KONE E-Link™ lets you monitor your elevator and escalator systems in one or several buildings from a single location. It is an all-in-one facility management tool designed to support tenant service quality, reliability, and operational efficiency for the elevators and escalators in your building.

 

KONE E-Link™ can be retrofitted as a stand-alone supervisory tool to enhance the management of a wide range of new and existing installations, including connections to non-KONE equipment. The system uses the building's standard Local Area Network (LAN), and connected elevators and escalators can be monitored and managed through an easy-to-use interface.

 

With more than 3,000 references worldwide, from airports and hospitals to office towers and residential complexes, KONE E-Link™ is used by facility managers around the world to monitor and manage people-flow equipment.

Core functions

How KONE E-Link™ works?

KONE E-Link™ gives you remote configuration capabilities and a real-time view of all your equipment. It covers four core functions that together provide centralized visibility and management capabilities.

  • 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. Deviations from normal operation generate alerts that are automatically logged for reporting, operational review, and incident analysis.

    2. Control

    Remote commands and access control

     

    Issue commands to individual elevators or groups, including 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, helping support the management of your building's people flow without requiring on-site intervention.

  • Illustration record

    3. Record

    Traffic history playback

     

    Every elevator and escalator event is logged and stored for later analysis. The traffic history playback feature lets you review and study equipment operation over any selected period. It can be useful for investigating incidents, responding to tenant inquiries, and supporting operational reviews.

  • Illustration review

    4. Review

    Comprehensive reporting

     

    A comprehensive set of graphical, easy-to-read reports enables detailed 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.
