Future-forward elevators

This interaction contributes to TK Elevator’s dedication to excellence in providing customisable lift systems that improve building aesthetics and functionality. These systems are also technologically advanced solutions that effortlessly fit into architectural contexts, improving property value while maintaining efficiency and safety.

How is your company leveraging technology to enhance the efficiency and safety of elevator systems?
TK Elevator is a pioneer in the industry, using technology to improve the elevators economy and safety. Our unique solutions optimise transport capacity, space, energy efficiency, durability, and recyclability. TKE products provide a variety of safety measures, such as overload prevention, emergency communication systems, and international standard compliance, guaranteeing that all users have a safe and enjoyable experience.

What role does design play in developing elevator solutions that integrate seamlessly with architectural aesthetics?
At TK Elevator, we base our product design and development on customer needs. Since 2020, we’ve received five Red Dot Design Awards for our brand, product, and interface design concepts. Our customisable lift solutions complement a building’s appearance by offering a variety of finishes, colours, and materials. Beyond aesthetics, smooth controls and pleasant interiors improve user experience, transforming our lifts into an integrated part of the architectural environment while increasing property value.

What measures does your company take to ensure elevator safety and compliance with global standards and regulations?
TK Elevator adheres to strict safety and compliance requirements, guaranteeing that our lifts fulfil global laws. We invest in research and development to improve safety and efficiency using innovative technology. Rigorous quality control is used throughout the design, production, and installation processes to maintain high standards. Our goods comply with international standards like ISO and CEN and regional standards like the Indian Standards Code.

How do smart and connected elevator systems contribute to building efficiency and user convenience?
Smart elevator systems optimise traffic flow, reduce energy consumption, and enhance maintenance practices, offering users increased convenience, real-time updates, and improved security. TKE’s “MAX” solution uses predictive maintenance to improve remote monitoring, reduce downtime, and proactively address potential issues. The AGILE Destination Selection Control (DSC) enhances system efficiency, reducing wait and travel times, increasing passenger handling capacity by up to 30 percent, and minimising lobby crowding.

What trends do you foresee shaping the future of elevator technology and design in the next decade?
The future of elevator technology will be driven by key trends such as increased connectivity, sustainability, and enhanced user experience. Elevators will integrate seamlessly with smart building systems, utilising IoT-enabled predictive maintenance to boost efficiency and reliability. A strong focus on sustainability will lead to adopting energy-efficient components, regenerative drives, and green technologies to minimise environmental impact. User experience will be elevated through personalised features, touchless controls, and voice-activated systems, while advanced safety measures like real-time monitoring and biometric access control will enhance security. Additionally, AI and data analytics will optimise elevator performance based on user behaviour and traffic patterns, and universal design principles will ensure accessibility for all users. As urban development continues to evolve, elevators will be designed to efficiently manage varied traffic in mixed-use buildings, reflecting a shift towards more intelligent, efficient, and user-centred systems.
