Tech Integration
Recognizing the critical role that tech plays in the current elevator industry, Zion stays at the forefront, expertly integrating advanced technology solutions to develop cutting-edge products. The firm has adopted some sophisticated technologies for gearless traction motors, and computerized precision traffic control for optimizing the performance of a group of elevators and decreasing load trips.
Zion has also developed its own programmable software that helps in multiple ways and promotes sustainability simultaneously. Through this software, the number of necessary stops is decreased, which helps in saving energy considerably over a period of time. Moreover, to reduce energy consumption as compared to older elevator systems, the new automatic lifts leverage microprocessor-based controls. Additionally, the company also utilized machines available in the current elevator markets which are compact, as well as more robust than former systems, which further helps in energy conservation and space-saving.
Zion Lifts also integrates systems known as in cab sensors and software which play a vital role by putting the elevator in sleep mode when not in use, thereby turning off features like music, video, lighting, and ventilation, contributing considerably to cost and energy savings. Adding further, the destination dispatch control software helps enhance and streamline passenger traffic flow. The company has also introduced the remote life control system by mobile and biometric access as well as touchless technology which it aims to make a common feature across all its offerings.
