The present invention relates to a method and a system of commissioning elevator, and an elevator system. The method includes obtaining at least one operation data of at least one elevator door, comparing the operation data with corresponding criterion operation data, and determining whether a deviation between the operation data and the criterion operation data exceeds a pre-set range, and if so, triggering a control over at least one control end relevant to the operation of the elevator door to make a deviation between the operation data re-obtained and the criterion operation data fall within the pre-set range. The invention will increase the efficiency in elevator commissioning and remove the adverse effects on elevator operation caused by factors such as “Stack Effect”, and thereby ensure good working condition and high security of elevators.

There are provided measures for performing a configuration control in relation to an elevator, an escalator and automatic doors in a remote manner. Such measures exemplarily comprise determining a status of a component of said control apparatus, detecting whether a change with respect to said component has occurred based on said status, defining configuration parameters for said component, if it is detected that said change has occurred, and initiating transmission of said configuration parameters to said control apparatus.

An elevator control unit and a method for determining at least one position control feedforward torque parameter value of an elevator, the elevator comprising a drive system for driving an electric motor and an elevator control unit for controlling the drive system. The elevator control unit comprises position control means, and the position control means comprise means for determining position control feedforward torque, which means for determining position control feedforward torque comprises parameter values which relate to the elevator and/or components of the elevator. The method comprises driving at least one elevator test run, measuring and/or determining torque of the motor during the test run, and determining based at least in part on the position control feedforward torque and/or the measured and/or determined torque of the motor during the test run at least one of the following position control feedforward torque parameter values of the elevator position control means: a parameter value relating to balance, a parameter value relating to shaft efficiency, a parameter value relating to effective rope and/or car cable mass, a parameter value relating to total non-changing masses.

A station device in a biometric pre-identification system uses identity to perform one or more actions. Identities are determined (such as via a backend) using biometric information. A biometric pre-identification device obtains biometric information and/or a digital representation thereof from a person approaching the station device. The biometric pre-identification device transmits such to the station device, facilitating the station to begin and/or perform various actions. The station device begins or performs the actions using the identity determined based on the biometric information before the person arrives at the station device.

An elevator installation has an elevator car that is moved in an elevator shaft between floors of a building under control of an elevator controller. The car has a first car door on a first car wall and a second car door on a second car wall. A first group of shaft doors is arranged in public zones of the building and a second group of shaft doors is arranged in non-public zones of the building. The elevator controller has a first operating mode in which the public zones are served; accordingly, only the first car door and the shaft doors for the public zones are actuated. In a second operating mode, the non-public zones are served, and accordingly only the second car door and the shaft doors for the non-public zones are activated.

An elevator control device controls an elevator including a cage that a person and a robot get on, and the elevator control device includes: a storage that stores a rated weight of the cage; and a controller that sets a set maximum weight that is set during operation of the elevator as a maximum value of a weight loaded on the cage, wherein when the controller determines that the robot is waiting to get on the cage while the set maximum weight is set at the rated weight, the controller sets, as the set maximum weight, a limit maximum weight that is a weight less than or equal to a value obtained by subtracting a weight of the robot from the rated weight.

An automatic elevator safety system includes an elevator safety circuit and an external server. The elevator safety circuit is configured for monitoring the operation of an elevator system comprising at least one elevator car traveling along a hoistway, and an elevator control configured for controlling the movement of the elevator car. At least one of the elevator control and the elevator safety circuit is configured for sending data comprising information about the current state of the elevator system to the external server, in particular in case a safety issue has been detected. The external server is configured for (A) receiving the data sent by the at least one elevator safety circuit; (B) analyzing the received data; and (C) depending on the result of the analysis, sending commands to the elevator system.

A method for determining multiple absolute positions of an elevator car within a shaft of an elevator arrangement uses a portable smart device (smart phone) having a sensor (camera). The method steps include: displacing the elevator car along the shaft during a learning procedure with the portable smart device being releasably attached at a predetermined position at the elevator car; detecting localizing characteristics at each of multiple locations during the learning procedure, the localizing characteristics indicating an absolute position within the shaft, wherein the localizing characteristics are generated by markers such as QR-codes and are detected using the sensor of the portable smart device; communicating information indicating the absolute positions detected during the learning procedure from the portable smart device to an elevator controller; and correlating each of the absolute positions detected during the learning procedure to one of the multiple absolute car positions and storing derived correlation data.
