Seattle Children's Hospital - a place where care is everything
Date of completion: Ongoing
Floors: 10
Building owner: Seattle Children's Hospital
At Seattle Children's Hospital, the focus is always on the patient. We have all seen how technology revolutionizes medicine, connecting larger teams of experts to give a hopeful future to children with the most complex conditions. At KONE, we believe the building that houses this life-saving work should be a vital part of the care team.
For the hospital, this means having absolute confidence in their equipment. They came to us seeking a data-driven way to improve the safety and reliability of their elevators – not just for today, but for the years to come.
"KONE's reliability centered maintenance methods... coupled with their technology allow us easy access to our data, a clear understanding of the repairs that are needed, and the ability to plan for upcoming larger renovations and modernizations."
Seattle Children's Hospital Team
A partnership of people and technology
Our solution started by combining the best of our technology with the expertise of our people. We integrated KONE 24/7 Connected Services into the hospital's elevators, giving them a way to monitor the health of each unit in real-time.
This intelligent system gathers data around the clock, allowing our expert onsite mechanics to see the complete picture. Together, they can move beyond simply fixing a problem and get to the root cause, understanding exactly why an issue occurred. This partnership between our people and our technology provides the most accurate data, helping both KONE and Seattle Children's Hospital make smarter decisions.
This collaboration goes beyond day-to-day reliability. It’s about creating a smart plan for the future. Seattle Children's Hospital has equipment that will eventually need to be modernized, and our data-driven approach helps them decide where to invest and when.
By analyzing factors like the age and usage of an elevator, the availability of parts, and how critical it is to the hospital's operations, we provide clear insights. This helps Seattle Children's Hospital prioritize upgrades, ensuring that the most essential equipment is always ready to perform, and that the hospital can plan for the future with confidence.
