2022
KONE, a global
leader in the elevator and escalator industry, is bringing together
major players in the built environment, to take action and improve
sustainability, productivity and adaptability. KONE Experience 2022
will see an audience of individuals and organizations taking part
in a global conversation setting out to tackle some of the most
important issues spanning the construction industry and
beyond.
"At KONE Experience, we are providing a platform for meaningful
actions that create a better future for our customers, for people
who live in cities, and for future generations. This has not been
done before in our industry," says Henrik
Ehrnrooth, President and CEO, KONE. "Improving
productivity with Lean business practices is vital in today's
environment and at the same time, sustainability has become a key
design principle for our customers. By tackling some of the
industry's most pressing challenges and by bringing some of the
most influential voices together, we are taking this opportunity to
shape our industry to set new standards for the future of the built
environment."
KONE will introduce a new range of products, solutions and services
to help transform people and material flow on construction sites -
and provide new solutions for how buildings can become more
flexible, sustainable and adaptable. The highlights consist of
KONE Construction Time Use solutions now including
KONE 24/7 Connected Services for improved insights and uptime. A
new standardized version of KONE JumpLift for
machine-roomless elevators, brings a revolution in
construction flexibility, as well as the potential to reduce
construction time by several months, for all types of buildings.
Elevators that are fully compatible with wooden buildings
and shafts made of timber products provide a new solution
for eco-friendly construction, while the introduction of an option
for a carbon-neutral elevator, through the use of
carbon offsetting, marks a first for the industry. In order to
support customers with planning the lifecycle of their equipment,
digital solutions such as KONE 24/7 Planner use
data for asset management and better productivity.
In addition, KONE DX Class elevators, which
provide an unrivalled digital experience, will now be
available in the United States and Canada,
bringing the ability to adapt and improve the elevator experience
in totally new ways. The iconic DX Class elevators have changed the
role of elevators in buildings, offering connectivity and a
customizable user experience.The DX elevator range also uses
sustainable materials to meet green building criteria like BREEAM
and LEED. Connectivity also means that new applications and
different types of equipment and services can be added securely to
the elevators. Examples include service robots, navigation apps,
smart office and visitor management solutions, as well as
customer-branded applications.
KONE Experience, to be held on March 31, 2022, brings together
leading experts in smart and sustainable urban development, to
discuss the trends, challenges, and opportunities for the industry.
