  • Patent number: 11795034
    Abstract: An escalator monitoring system includes a data collection device disposed near parts of an escalator that need to be monitored for collecting data of the parts; a data transmittal device used to transmit data relevant to safe operation of the escalator; a local data processing device or cloud processors used to receive the data relevant to the safe operation of the escalator, to compare it against a threshold value stored therein and derived from the parts in normal operating conditions, and to respond to comparison result.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 29, 2021
    Date of Patent: October 24, 2023
    Assignee: KONE CORPORATION

  • Patent number: 11225399
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an escalator monitoring system, which includes a data collection device disposed near the parts of the escalator that require monitoring in order to collect data the parts relevant to the operation of the escalator, a data transmittal device used to send the collected data, a cloud processor used to receive the data, to compare the data against threshold data of the parts obtained under normal operating conditions stored in the database of the cloud processor, and to respond based on the comparison result. The present invention can collect the data and analyze it in any environment independent of subjective human judgment, predict possible failure without the need to stop the operation of the escalator, save maintenance time, reduce associated cost, and thus improve its safety and ride comfort.
