Introducing One Week Modernization

Why upgrade now?

Aging elevators cost more than you think. Most are patched for inspections, renewed too late, and maintained only in the short term. Small problems turn into big ones, resulting in more downtime.

By upgrading early, you can make step-by-step improvements with a modular, digitally-enabled approach to modernization. And with the latest sustainability technology built in by default, it saves you energy and extends your equipment’s life.

Say goodbye to sudden breakdowns. With as little as one week of planned downtime, your elevator is designed to improve performance and support a longer service life.

What are the modular upgrade packages?

Address what matters most in your building with quick-to-install upgrades that improve reliability, safety, energy costs, and passenger experience. Every upgrade starts with electrification and signalization as the essential foundation, with additional modular packages chosen based on your priorities and budget.

One-week modernization FAQ

Before you begin your consultation, you may have specific questions about the elevator upgrade process that we can answer quickly and simply below.

  • It includes upgrading key components such as electrification and control systems, along with built-in connectivity. This enables real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and improved overall performance.

  • Yes. Repeated repairs can quickly become expensive over time. A one-week modernization helps to address the root causes, reducing the need for ongoing fixes and giving you better control over long-term costs.

  • Typically, the elevator is out of operation for about one week. The work is carefully planned to minimize disruption and ensure a fast, predictable return to service.

  • There will be a short, planned downtime, but the process is designed to minimize disruption as much as possible. Compared to longer renovation projects or unexpected breakdowns, the impact is significantly lower.

  • You gain a more reliable, connected, and future-ready elevator with fewer breakdowns and less downtime, early detection of potential issues, fewer faults and entrapments over time. You’ll also enjoy improved safety and user experience, as well as greater control through real-time monitoring and data-driven insights. Other benefits include better planning with predictable maintenance and fewer unexpected disruptions, fewer repeated repairs and emergency callouts, and remote service capabilities (including fast response in critical situations).

  • Yes. By reducing unnecessary service visits and part replacements, you lower resource use and improve efficiency, making modernization a more sustainable choice over time.

  • Remote service allows us to monitor, control, and update your elevator without being on-site. In many cases, issues can be resolved immediately — and in some situations, a trapped passenger can be assisted in as little as 60 seconds. And when a situation requires on-site support, a technician will always be dispatched, ensuring the right help is delivered quickly and safely.

  • No problem. A one week modernization focuses on the essentials, but we can always expand the scope based on your building’s needs. We’ll help you find the right solution.
