Abstract: Disclosed is an elevator system having a plurality of elevators including a first elevator and a second elevator, and a controller that controls the plurality of elevators and communicates over a network with a first device seeking elevator service at a lobby, wherein the controller: receives a first request from the first device to receive elevator service, provides the first device a first priority number, based on the first priority number and remaining elevator capacity in the plurality of elevators, effects a first assignment wherein the first elevator is assigned to service the first request.

Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicle evacuation assistance systems and methods for a building are provided. The systems include an unmanned aerial vehicle having at least one sensor and an elevator system having an elevator controller and an elevator car. The unmanned aerial vehicle includes a processor, a memory, and a transceiver to communicate with the elevator controller, wherein the memory includes instructions for execution by the processor to communicate with the elevator system to dispatch the elevator car to a designated floor based on information obtained at the unmanned aerial vehicle by the at least one sensor.

Abstract: A device commissioning system includes a terminal device, a data communication network, and a network controller. The terminal devices selects a device type of a component configured to operate in a control system, and outputs a device activation signal that requests a configuration file for commissioning the component according to a selected device type. The communication network is remotely located from the component and stores configuration files for commissioning different types of components. The network controller receives the device activation signal indicating a request to commission the component according to the selected device type and establishes a secure data link to deliver the configuration file in response to the device activation signal. The component receives the configuration file corresponding to the selected device type, and installs the configuration file to commission operation as the selected device type.

Abstract: A software commissioning system is provided. The software commissioning system includes an intermediary controller; equipment communicative coupled to the intermediary controller; and an augmenting device. The intermediary controller facilitates commissioning or updating operations. The augmenting device includes a scanner capturing information from one or more codes associated with the equipment. The augmenting device includes a control circuit automatically executing commissioning or updating operations with respect to the equipment and in response to the scanner capturing the information. During commissioning or updating operations, the control circuit communicates the information to a backend sub-system to initiate a remote verification service that verifies the equipment and causes the downloading of software for the equipment.

Abstract: A system and method for detection of a malfunction in an elevator. The system includes an elevator cab, a server, at least one sensor, and a controller. The controller receives a signal captured by the at least sensor and transmit to the server. The server processes the transmitted signal and prognostically detects the malfunction in the elevator cab.

Abstract: A system and/or method for receiving a data capture from an elevator sensor and executing a prognostic analysis of the data capture to identify operational issues and resolutions to the operational issues. The system and/or method can further receive at least one of a verification of the operational issues and the resolutions and execute the resolutions upon verification to resolve the operational issues.
