Research and Development

Technological innovation is at the heart of all our activities. Our research and development division pursues cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of the market, and through our industry leadership in high-efficiency, environmentally friendly products, we enhance the mobility experience and comfort of users worldwide.

Elevator Performance

Performance Features

Our research and development is advancing high-efficiency drive systems to meet evolving market needs. We have achieved both reduced power consumption and smooth operation, while optimizing lifting speeds. Furthermore, our precision control technology improves response speed, reducing wait times during coordinated operation of multiple units and maximizing the efficiency of passenger flow. We place particular emphasis on maintaining performance over the long term, implementing weather-resistant designs that guarantee stable operation even in harsh environments and conducting durability tests that exceed international standards.

The Pursuit of Ride Comfort

Our company uses sound insulation and vibration reduction technologies to suppress mechanical noise and external noise, enabling a quiet ride with minimal vibration. Optimized control algorithms enable natural acceleration and deceleration, eliminating sudden starts and stops. Furthermore, the design balances operability and comfort, featuring an intuitive control panel, barrier-free design, and an aesthetically pleasing interior space to provide a premium travel experience.

Elevator Safety

Safety Performance

Our elevators are equipped with a real-time monitoring system using IoT sensors. This system continuously monitors operating conditions and enables predictive maintenance by detecting abnormalities at the earliest signs. In the event of an emergency, multiple safety brakes are activated to ensure the elevator comes to a complete stop, even during a power outage. Furthermore, for fire and earthquake safety, we employ disaster prevention technologies that comply with the latest Building Standards Act (seismic resistance standards) and Fire Service Act, and we rigorously adhere to a design that prioritizes the protection of human life above all else, including features such as an emergency return-to-floor function.

Innovation Through Collaboration

We firmly believe that collaboration is the source of technological innovation. To deliver products of the highest quality, we work closely with experts in engineering, technology, and safety to advance the following initiatives:

  • Advanced Technology Development: Sharing the Latest Insights in Elevator Technology and Pursuing a Balance Between Performance and Safety
  • Compliance with World-Class Standards: Continuously Improving Designs Based on Global Standards
  • Reflecting Feedback from the Field: Bringing Practicality to Life Through Dialogue with Architects, Facility Managers, and Users
