An elevator, an elevator control unit and a method for transferring data in an elevator arrangement, the elevator arrangement including at least an elevator shaft, an elevator car configured to move in the elevator shaft and at least one wireless communication channel, such as a wireless network, available for communication in the elevator shaft. The method includes determining signal quality and/or data transmission quality of the at least one wireless communication channel in different positions of the elevator car in the elevator shaft, moving the elevator car to a position or area selected based on the determined signal quality and/or the determined data transmission quality, and performing data transfer at the selected area or at the selected position of the elevator car.

An elevator has an elevator scheduling assembly. The elevator scheduling assembly may include elevator controllers that pressure elevator buttons to call an elevator car to a floor in a building. The elevator scheduling assembly may also include a mobile user controller that allows a user to remotely call an elevator car.

An illustrative example embodiment of an elevator system includes a platform and a plurality of supports configured to selectively engage a nearby structure. The plurality of supports include at least a first support and a second support. The first and second supports alternate between engaging the nearby structure to support the platform while the other one of the supports is disengaged from the nearby structure. At least one of the first and second supports is configured to move relative to the platform while engaging the nearby structure to cause vertical movement of the platform.

Disclosed is a robot interlocking elevator control system. The robot interlocking elevator control system provides countermeasures against a failure mode in a boarding/alighting procedure of a robot with respect to an elevator for movement between floors in a building, thereby achieving significant improvement in overall service quality and operation efficiency of an elevator system controlled in conjunction with the robot.
