Safety and good working conditions as priority to operate with KONE SiteFlow
Automating process leads to efficiency, but in the construction industry where people are more vulnerable to accidents, technology is also an agent for health and safety.
How KONE SiteFlow contributes to ensuring safety and ease of work in construction sites
Prevent injuries from accidents
Waiting too long for the elevator to arrive or be free can force workers to use the stairs to transport heavy goods. This puts people at risk for accidents because staircases in construction sites are not designed for loading and unloading heavy materials, or to be packed with people. There is often not enough lighting, space, or upkeeping in these narrow corridors which makes it susceptible to missteps and accidents.
KONE SiteFlow solutions offers features like Live view and Priority Call to always know where the elevator is, how soon it will arrive, and even control it to serve designated floors at once when needed. It can be used remotely which means manager can support the movement of people and goods in multiple sites from a central office.
Ease of working
Having access to the construction elevator as needed can reduce the physical strain of transporting goods for people.
Compliance with safety regulations
Smart construction elevators help sites follow regulations because of safety features. This reduces legal and financial risks that comes with accidents and injuries.
Mental wellbeing
Knowing that the construction site is fully equipped with a transport system that protects workers from harsh environmental conditions, that can be relied on to run smoothly, gives workers the confidence to do their job with a lot more ease and focus.
Improved Emergency Response
Smart construction elevators can send an immediate alert in case of a site power failure that leads to passengers being trapped. KONE SiteFlow enhances construction elevator safety with its advanced communication system which enables instant responses especially on times of urgency.
Preventive maintenance
Smart construction elevators use sensors and AI to predict maintenance needs and identify potential issues before they lead to malfunctions or accidents. This proactive approach to maintenance helps prevent elevator-related incidents on construction sites.
Real-time Monitoring
The ability to check construction elevator conditions in real time allows for immediate response to any technical issues, reducing downtime and potential hazards associated with elevator malfunctions.
