As a global leader in the elevator and escalator industry, KONE provides elevators, escalators and automatic building doors, as well as solutions for modernisation and maintenance to add value to buildings throughout their life cycle.
As Australian cities continue to grow vertically, the safe and reliable movement of people through increasingly complex buildings remains a critical part of the urban environment.
For KONE, this has included a focus on strengthening regional collaboration and using data-informed approaches to support reliability and safety across residential and commercial high-rise buildings.
Recent Highlights
KONE’s Gold Coast service team featured in City Shapers, a series highlighting the people behind the safe and reliable operation of vertical transport in growing cities. The story provided an insight into the work of KONE’s field teams and the expertise involved in keeping buildings operating smoothly. The Gold Coast provides a particularly relevant example. As the region continues to grow vertically, lifts and escalators play an increasingly important role in enabling people to move safely and efficiently through more complex building environments.

KONE’s focus includes further embedding data-informed and predictive approaches across its work to enhance safety, efficiency and the user experience. As building systems become increasingly sophisticated, these capabilities provide opportunities to anticipate maintenance requirements, optimise performance and take a more proactive approach to the management of vertical transport systems.Industry Insight
KONE sees the growing use of data and predictive insights as an important opportunity for the vertical transport industry. Moving from a largely reactive approach towards anticipating maintenance requirements and identifying potential performance issues can contribute to improved reliability and safety across vertical transport assets. KONE also identifies industry knowledge sharing and the adoption of best-practice approaches as important to supporting sustainable, future-ready urban environments where vertical transport remains safe, efficient and reliable.Your AAVT Membership
