  • Scalability

Solution

In parallel, TKE aimed to modernize its Digital Operations Center (DOC) by turning insights from MAX, its IoT and predictive maintenance platform, into actionable guidance for field technicians. For example, a technician might receive a recommendation such as “inspect the door on the 5th floor” or “check sensor alignment,” tailored to each elevator’s condition. This approach reduces repeated service calls and ensures technicians arrive on-site with the information needed to resolve issues efficiently. Over time, these insights are designed to help prevent systemic issues and improve overall service quality. TKE also sought to deliver value to customers through a self-service digital portal, providing access to operational status, service history and equipment information.
