An analytics device for monitoring maintenance on an elevator system performed by an individual including: a processor; and a memory including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations including: capturing a first video stream using a first video camera; extracting sequences from at least the first video stream; extracting features from the sequences; and analyzing, using a long short-term memory model, the sequence to determine whether the maintenance performed on the elevator system by the individual is performed correctly.

Disclosed is an elevator system, including a gateway configured to: receive, from an elevator car controller of an elevator car, car controller data for the elevator car that includes a car positional log of the elevator car; receive, from a beacon mounted to the elevator car, car operational data for the elevator car that includes car and door data representing car and door events; and transmit, to one of an elevator management center and a cloud service, a combination of the car controller data and the car operational data to identify an alert condition and a position of the elevator car during the alert condition, wherein the gateway or the one of the elevator management center and the cloud service is configured to stitch together the car controller data and the car operational data to identify the alert condition and position of the elevator car during the alert condition.

A method for maintaining an elevator installation includes performing at least one maintenance step that includes interacting with an elevator control of the elevator installation. The method further comprises confirming by the elevator control a performance of the maintenance step based on the at least one interaction. An elevator control for an elevator installation includes at least one maintenance step and an interaction signature associated with the maintenance step stored therein. An elevator installation includes an elevator control having at least one maintenance step and an interaction signature associated with the maintenance step stored therein.

Disclosed is a monitoring system for a people mover system, having: a controller for controlling an electronic component of the people mover system, wherein the controller is configured to: determine a first operational status of the component, while the component is operating with first operational parameters; and transmit first controller data to a BOT service, directly or via a mobile device, wherein the first controller data is indicative of the first operational status.

A method for commissioning a communication gateway with a portable device in a transportation system includes the steps of: establishing a communication connection from the portable device to the communication gateway of the transportation system; transmitting configuration data from the portable device to the communication gateway using the established communication connection, wherein the configuration data includes a gateway identifier identifying the transportation system; establishing a further communication connection from the communication gateway to a server unit using the configuration data; and initiating a communication gateway software deployment from the server unit to the communication gateway using the established further communication connection for commissioning the communication gateway in the transportation system.

A security device for a building-related passenger transport system includes a microcontroller having a memory, a processor and a communication interface. A security module is stored in the memory and, when it is executed on the processor, receives security-relevant signals from components of the passenger conveyor system, evaluates the signals with regard to a security problem and transmits a warning signal to a controller of the passenger conveyor system in the event of a security problem. An update module is stored in the memory and, when it is executed on the processor, receives a software package via the communication interface and updates at least parts of the security module with the software package. The microcontroller is configured such that the security module is able to be amended only by the update module.

A monitoring system for controlling self-testing of a traction elevator includes a self-testing process module in communication with a three-phase AC back-up battery power supply. The self-testing process module includes a processor configured to initiate and control a series of steps for performing measurements of the three-phase AC back-up battery power supply, including measurements of the battery supply during a simulated emergency situation (“rescue/evacuation”). The processor is programmed to initiate testing on a defined schedule and transmit test results to a maintenance system (including remotely-located systems) on a routine basis. The monitoring system also includes a display unit providing visual information regarding the status of self-testing processes and their results and a communications unit for transmitting test results to a remote maintenance controller.

A method of detecting maintenance requirements of a system for conveying a car through a passageway is provided. The method comprising: detecting pressure data for at least one or more locations along a passageway using a pressure sensor; comparing the pressure data to benchmark pressure data for each of the one or more locations; determining a pressure data variance at a first location of the one or more locations in response to the pressure data and the benchmark pressure data; and identifying an identity of a car stop location door system located at the first location when the pressure data variance is greater than a selected tolerance.

A device and a method for controlling an apparatus being an elevator, an escalator or automatic doors are provided, by which it is detected whether a fault is present in the apparatus, it is determined, when the fault is present, whether an automatic fault clearing may be carried out, and if it is determined that the automatic fault clearing may be carried out, the automatic fault clearing is performed by automatically clearing one or more faults.

A guide for individual movement machinery. The guide includes a base, a frame and a monitoring system. The monitoring system includes arrays of sensors affixed to each of the base and the frame to respectively sense guide conditions and to generate readings accordingly.
