Health & Wellbeing Solutions with KONE

Here, we are focusing on issues that citizens and our customers are facing globally and which have been exacerbated during this sanitary crisis. The elevators and escalators are an integral part of how people physically interact with the built environment and move inside and between buildings. To do this in an increasingly safe manner, we need to reduce the need for touching surfaces, prevent the spread of diseases in all possible ways and contribute to a healthier environment by sharing the information and optimizing people and material flow in buildings.

We believe there are dozens of innovative solutions out there that can contribute to building and developing healthy environments for billions of people globally. If you are working on one, read more on the needs of elevator and escalator end-users and customers below.

We work together with our frontlines globally to deploy and develop our solutions and services.  To name a few, we allow remote elevator calls with the help of our Cloud API to reduce the need to touch surfaces. We prevent the spread of diseases with air purifiers, UV light handrail sterilizer, and by using different materials with infection-killing properties. Several different kinds of robots utilize our elevators, for example, for cleaning purposes and to optimize in-house logistics in a safe manner. 

If you are working on any solution, digital or physical, that contributes to making our cities and buildings healthier and is ready to be scaled globally, let us hear from you. We are looking to pilot and scale solutions globally regardless of your geographical presence. You can find a few guiding questions below but please note that your solution does not need to be limited to only them.
