Enhancing Elevator Controller Security

 

Security is as important as safety and performance in today's fast-paced world. Elevator systems are no exception, and upgrading your elevator controller can significantly enhance the security of your building. Here's how Suburban Elevator can help you achieve this:

 

1. Access Control: Modern elevator controllers can be integrated with advanced access control systems. This allows you to restrict access to specific floors or areas within the building, enhancing security and privacy.

2. Authentication Methods: Elevator controllers can incorporate various authentication methods, such as keycards, biometrics, and PIN codes, ensuring that only authorized individuals can use the elevator.

3. Monitoring and Surveillance: Upgraded controllers can be connected to surveillance systems, providing real-time monitoring of elevator activity. This is particularly useful for maintaining security in high-traffic areas.

4. Emergency Response: In an emergency, upgraded elevator controllers can notify building management or first responders immediately, ensuring a rapid and coordinated response.

5. Data Logging: Modern controllers can record elevator usage data, helping track and analyze any unusual or suspicious activity.

​

• Automatic Door Controls: Elevator controllers can be configured to provide additional time for passengers to enter and exit the elevator, accommodating individuals with reduced mobility.

Delaying an elevator controller upgrade can seriously affect your building and its occupants. Some of the potential costs of inaction include:

​

• Frequent Breakdowns: Old controllers are more prone to malfunctions, resulting in frequent elevator breakdowns and costly repairs.

​

• Loss of Business: In commercial buildings, elevator downtime can lead to a loss of business, as tenants and customers may choose to avoid the building.
