Why Did This Elevator Stop?

A company operating and maintaining elevators approached RND Square with a challenge their service team frequently faced: identifying why an elevator had suddenly stopped working.

Whenever a breakdown occurred, the team often depended on technician visits, manual controller inspections, and communication with people at the site to understand the reason.

Whether it was a door sensor issue, a controller fault, a motor-related problem, or an electrical interruption, identifying the actual cause could take valuable time.

The company wanted a smarter way to monitor elevator faults remotely, understand reported issues, and help technicians prepare before reaching the site.

Some of the key challenges included:

• Delayed fault identification: Technicians needed additional time to determine why an elevator had stopped.
• Limited remote visibility: The service team had no convenient way to access live fault information from connected elevators.
• Repeated troubleshooting: Technicians often had to perform multiple checks before identifying the issue.
• Service coordination gaps: Technicians did not always receive sufficient information before attending a breakdown.
• Incomplete fault history: Previous errors and corrective actions were not easily accessible for future reference.

The company needed a connected solution that could bring elevator fault information and service operations together.

After understanding the company's requirements, RND Square developed a Smart Elevator solution that connects elevator controller information with an IoT-enabled monitoring and service management platform.

The solution was designed to help the company's service team monitor elevator conditions, receive fault information remotely, and coordinate technician responses through a connected workflow.

We integrated IoT hardware, embedded firmware, controller communication, and an intelligent support platform to provide better visibility into elevator breakdowns.

Key capabilities included:

• Real-time fault monitoring: Connected elevator controllers share available fault codes and operating status with the monitoring platform.
• Remote fault visibility: Service teams can review reported faults without depending entirely on an initial physical inspection.
• AI-powered issue reporting: Calls, voice messages, and text reports can be handled by an AI agent, which captures the issue and creates a service ticket.
• Technician assistance: Technicians can access relevant error-code information, component details, and troubleshooting guidance.
• Automated service coordination: Fault details and ticket information can be shared with the assigned technician through mobile or WhatsApp workflows.
• Centralized service records: Breakdown reports, previous repairs, and corrective actions can be maintained in one place.
• Management dashboard: Service managers can review open tickets, recurring elevator issues, and ongoing service activities.

The solution helps connect the breakdown reporting process with actual elevator fault information, giving service teams a clearer starting point for diagnosis and response.
