Predictive maintenance

Updated

A black box that captures lift operating data and turns it into information for predictive maintenance.

Activity

Electronic design, firmware development

Client briefing

We were asked to design a system that would be easy to install, would need no wiring into the lift installation, and would be able to collect and process data for transmission to the cloud.

The solution

Two units were designed, connected to each other over BLE. One is fitted on the car roof, the other attached to the car doors. Communication to the cloud is handled by an LTE modem; the local controller can also take in auxiliary data from third-party equipment.

Technical specifications

Inertial data analysis, WiFi and BLE connectivity, cloud connection over LTE modem.
