Enabling Smart Building Environments with KONE

In our daily life, we most often see smart building services and solutions that improve people flow between and inside buildings. These can be visual infotainment systems for buildings, and mobile apps guiding our way through complex building environments.

We firmly believe that there are dozens of innovative solutions out there. So, we want to see what you have built and hear about it. Our team is interested in unlocking new experiences, mechanisms, and services using smart building information screens, building user engagement apps and new innovative interfaces for building users. To get you inspired, Amazon Alexa and the KONE Flow app can already remotely call elevators, for example.\n\nWe want to make your company’s solution an integral part of KONE People Flow, experienced by more than 1 billion people every day.

We want to take the People Flow experience to the next level by efficiently integrating external solutions with KONE’s APIs. The API enables you to build new services for tenants and property management around the world and become a part of a broad installed base of over a million units.

There are no limits here – if you have a novel solution that makes our customers business more valuable and consumers’ lives easier and it can be scaled to a global installed base of elevators and escalators, by working together we can be a significant player in smart building environments. Examples of what we are looking for include passenger experience solutions that can take advantage of connected elevators and escalators, immersive and personalized passenger experiences inside elevators, and solutions for making people flow inside buildings more efficient. We are also open to hearing about other areas that we might overlooked regarding smart buildings. Read more about more exact solution examples below.
