SEE THE LATEST EXPERIMENT

In an increasingly digitalized world, everything is connected. And with the fast pace of innovation, it’s hard to predict what’s around the corner. KONE DX Class elevators are ready for the future. Thanks to open APIs, our elevators can connect with almost anything. To prove it we asked everyone and anyone to tell us what they'd connect to an elevator if there were no limits to connectivity—with the promise to make the winning idea happen in real life. The winning idea came from Hugo Hermant, who was inspired by the thought of making life easier for people in the retirement home where he works. Could connectivity help wheelchair users move through buildings more seamlessly? We worked with Paralympian gold-medalist Leo-Pekka Tähti to find out. Watch the video to see how the experiment went!
