A method for managing elevator operation, a device for managing elevator operation, an elevator system and a computer-readable storage medium. The method for managing elevator operation includes: establishing a communication connection with at least one of robots movably arranged in a preset area; receiving data information from the robot, the data information including elevator service information generated by the robot based on input information related to an elevator visitor; and controlling the operation of the elevator and/or the operation of at least another one of the robots according to the received data information.

A method and system for inspecting and monitoring an elevator installation includes sending an autonomous flying object having at least one sensor to the elevator installation, and granting access to a hoistway of the elevator installation to the autonomous flying object. The autonomous flying object is positioned within the hoistway, and data collected by the associated sensor is sent to a remote elevator service center. The autonomous flying object and the associated sensor can be used to monitor and inspect the elevator installation on a temporary basis, for example for a specific number of hours, days or weeks. Once the autonomous flying object has gained access to the hoistway, the elevator installation can resume normal operation thereby keeping downtime to a minimum. After completing its tasks at one elevator installation, the autonomous flying object can be directed by the remote elevator service center to monitor and inspect another elevator installation.

Elevator access systems having an access control module operably connected to an elevator system and an access device located within the access control module and removable therefrom, wherein when the access device is within the access control module a normal mode of operation of the elevator system is activated and when the access device is removed from the access control module, the elevator system enters a safety mode of operation.

Systems and methods are provided for monitoring one or more conveyance devices, such as elevators and escalators. A server obtains maintenance data, inspection data and performance data about a given conveyance device via a web portal. At least a portion of this information is in a first format. The server reformats this portion of information into a second format using a mapping table, outputting reformatted data. The server populates a graphical user interface (GUI) with the reformatted code events. The GUI is accessible by another computing device over the Internet.

A detection device and a detection method for an elevator display module, an elevator including the detection device, and a computer storage medium. The detection device includes: memory; a processor; an I/O interface, configured to be coupled with one or more electroluminescent devices of the elevator display module; a communication module; and a computer program stored on the memory and running on the processor, the running of the computer program causes: receiving a detection request signal for the elevator display module via the communication module; in response to the detection request signal, applying a detection signal on at least one of the electroluminescent devices via the I/O interface; obtaining an operating level associated with the detected electroluminescent device via the I/O interface; and determining whether the detected electroluminescent device is working normally according to a polarity of the operating level.

An elevator safety system (20) for an elevator system (2) with a self-diagnostic functionality includes at least two safety channels (22a, 22b), wherein each safety channel (22a, 22b) is configured for supplying a safety signal (23a, 23b) in case a safety issue has been detected. The elevator safety system (20) comprises a self-diagnostic evaluator (24), which is configured for receiving any safety signals (23a, 23b) supplied via the safety channels (22a, 22b); starting a timer (25) for measuring a predetermined period of time in case a safety signal (23a, 23b) is supplied on one of the safety channels (22a, 22b); and stopping any further operation of the elevator system (2) in case the received signal (23a, 23b) is still supplied after the predetermined period of time has expired.

A wire rope clamp assembly for use with an elevator is provided. The wire rope clamp includes a first clamp member having an outer side and an inner side. The inner side has a plurality of channels configured to receive one or more suspension members. The plurality of first clamp member channels has a plurality of surface structures configured to engage lays of the one or more suspension members. A second clamp member is configured for attachment to the first clamp member. The second clamp member has an outer side and an inner side. The inner side has a plurality of channels configured to receive the one or more suspension members. The plurality of second clamp member channels has a plurality of surface structures configured to engage lays of the one or more suspension members. The plurality of surface structures for the first and second clamp member channels are multidirectional.

A mobile terminal of the present invention is configured to test a wireless beacon that is mounted in an elevator system and used for establishing a wireless connection with the mobile terminal and receiving service request commands. The wireless beacon is at least coupled to an elevator controller of the elevator system. The mobile terminal is configured to include: a connection testing module configured to test whether the wireless beacon can successfully establish the wireless connection with the mobile terminal and/or configured to test whether the wireless beacon can successfully establish a communication connection with the elevator controller; and a service request testing module configured to send a service request test command to the wireless beacon to enable the wireless beacon to automatically complete a service request test on the wireless beacon.

An elevator guide rail block assembly configured for use with an elevator car or counterweight guide rail is provided. The elevator guide rail block assembly includes a framework and a plurality of rotatable cams attached to the framework. An actuator element is configured to actuate rotation of the plurality of rotatable cams. A clamp structure is attached to the framework and spaced apart from the plurality of rotatable cams. In a rotated orientation, the combination of the plurality of rotatable cams and the clamp structure form a clamping action configured to secure the elevator guide rail block assembly to an elevator car or counterweight guide rail.
