“Elevators and escalators that you use from day to day”
Hitachi Building Systems plays a role in supporting everyday life.
In order to support the building environments that people wish to work in, live in and visit, and to provide new value to modern society, we are developing solutions businesses, such as air-conditioning, security cameras and building facility management systems that increase the added value of customers’ buildings centering on the Elevators and Escalators Business.
In the Elevators and Escalators Business, we are developing our research and development of elevators and escalators on a global scale, supporting comfortable movement throughout buildings and urban spaces. With a wide variety of products created from our advanced technical capabilities, we provide safe and secure products for all at any time by pursuing safety and energy efficiency to respond to the construction of higher buildings.
In our building total solutions business, we provide a comfortable environment for people who use buildings by integrating air conditioning, security cameras, building facility management systems, and other systems with elevators and escalators using AI, IoT, and other digital technologies, with a focus on improving efficiency and energy conservation.
We will continue to provide safe, secure and comfortable elevating machines and services that contribute to solving customers’ various issues in urban spaces globally by widely utilizing the latest digital technology for development of products and services, and thus contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

Life cycle of the Elevator and Escalator Business

• The life cycle of elevating machines can be divided into “new installation,” “maintenance” and “renovation.”
  [New installation]: This refers to the process of installing a new elevating machine from development of a new product - receiving order (sales) - specification determination - design - manufacturing - installation - quality inspection - delivery to the customer.
  [Maintenance]: This refers to the process of maintenance and repair to maintain the performance of the elevating machine after delivering to the customer.
  [Renovation]: This refers to the process of replacing an old elevating machine with a new one after maintenance, from receiving order (sales) - specification determination - design - manufacturing - installation - quality inspection - delivery to the customer.
  Employees of development and design will be involved in the above corresponding process.

Main examples of elevating machines

• Order made elevators

  Elevators are designed to respond to a building's concept and purpose of use. We propose styles in line with urban spaces, including high speed, high capacity elevators made for skyscrapers and large scale facilities as well as observation elevators that produce spatial beauty in locations such as resort facilities and shopping centers.

  

• Standard elevators

  The new elevator model further improves upon energy saving through using only LED celling lights and effectively employing regenerative electric power. Additionally, security is heightened through functions such as inside security cameras, which display monitoring footage inside the elevator, and secret operation mode, which prevents third parties from seeing the destination floor.

• Escalator

  Our latest escalator model employs inverter controls and is equipped with a variety of safety functions, including soft stop functionality that inhabits falling and stumbling even in cases of sudden stoppage because of security device activation as well as warning activation functionality for climbing on handrail. Additionally, we have improved power consumption through installing LED railing lights.
