Elevator monitoring ― Intelligent interaction of sensors, software and services
The benefits of elevator monitoring at a glance:
High level of transparency
Information on the status and conditions of the elevator and any incidents that occur is available and recorded 24 hours a day
Easy to retrofit
The easy retrofit solution can be installed quickly in less than 30 minutes – no matter what kind of elevator or what control unit is in use
Lower costs
Cost savings achieved by detecting faults immediately and optimizing maintenance cycles

Modules of the Bosch elevator monitoring solution:
The elevator monitoring system from Bosch makes the operation of elevators more efficient, more reliable, and safer. The interaction of sensors, software and services provides the foundation for creating intelligent elevator solutions.
1. Sensors
Sensors detect and record in real time the elevator's status and data
2. Software
The data acquired are evaluated in detail in the Elevator Cloud
3. Services
This evaluation is used to generate customized service plans for elevators
1. Sensors ensure status and fault detection
The sensor box, designed as a plug-and-play unit, takes less than 30 minutes to install on top of the elevator cab roof. The hardware requires no hardwired connection to the elevator control system, and fits on any elevator, irrespective of the make or model. The acceleration sensors included in the unit detect and record the elevator condition data such as its current position, travel movements, the number of door openings, and any potential unscheduled elevator downtimes. All incidents of malfunction are recorded in a traceable manner.

Status monitoring
Elevator monitoring by a system of sensors
Data analysis
In-situ preliminary analysis of real-time data by the installed device
Data transmission
Data transfer to the cloud by mobile telecommunication
2. Data analysis by cloud-based software
The data generated by the sensor box are collected and analyzed in the cloud. The user-friendly operator interface displays the elevator’s current status, the position of the elevator cab, and the number of trips. The dashboard is available for display in a map mode as well as a list view, providing information on the elevator. In the event that any operator-specified parameter setting is exceeded, the maintenance or repair measures needed to rectify the condition are initiated. This high level of transparency of elevator status and condition reduces downtimes to a minimum.
