ROI Impact
An emergency elevator dispatch system automates the entire response process by instantly detecting incidents, validating severity, routing the nearest qualified technician, and providing real-time updates to all stakeholders. This reduces average emergency response times by 40-60% while ensuring complete compliance documentation and eliminating manual coordination delays.
How This Automation Works
Emergency Alert Received → Technician Dispatched & Incident Tracked
Emergency Detection & Validation
System receives emergency signal from elevator monitoring equipment, emergency call button, or safety sensors. Incident details including location, elevator ID, and alert type are automatically captured and validated against equipment database to determine severity level.
Technician Identification & Routing
Algorithm identifies nearest available certified technician based on real-time location, certification level, current workload, and incident requirements. System calculates optimal route and generates comprehensive dispatch package with all incident details and building access information.
Multi-Channel Notification Dispatch
Simultaneous notifications are sent to selected technician via mobile app, SMS, and phone call with incident priority level. Building manager, property owner, and relevant stakeholders receive automated alerts with incident status and estimated technician arrival time.
Real-Time Tracking & Updates
System monitors technician location and progress, automatically updating all stakeholders with current status. Two-way communication channel enables technician to request additional resources or update incident severity while maintaining continuous contact with trapped passengers.
Resolution Documentation & Reporting
Upon incident resolution, technician completes digital checklist documenting actions taken, parts used, and equipment status. System automatically generates compliance reports, calculates response metrics, updates maintenance records, and archives complete incident documentation for regulatory requirements.
How It Works
When elevator emergencies occur, every second counts. This automated emergency dispatch system transforms how elevator service providers respond to entrapments, malfunctions, and safety incidents. By integrating building management systems, monitoring platforms, and technician networks, the solution instantly detects emergencies, validates incident severity, routes the nearest qualified technician, and maintains continuous communication with all stakeholders. The system automatically logs incidents, tracks response metrics, generates compliance reports, and ensures no emergency goes unaddressed. Eliminate manual coordination delays, reduce average response times by up to 60%, and provide building managers and passengers with real-time status updates throughout the entire emergency resolution process.
The Trigger
System detects an elevator emergency signal from building monitoring equipment, emergency call button activation, or automated safety sensor alert indicating passenger entrapment or equipment malfunction requiring immediate attention.
The Action
Nearest available certified technician receives automated dispatch notification with location details, incident type, and building access information while all stakeholders receive real-time status updates and the incident is logged for compliance tracking.
Common Use Cases in Elevator
