KONE to upgrade elevators at global law firm in London, UK
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
KONE Corporation, press release, June 20, 2016
KONE, a global leader in the elevator and escalator industry, will modernize the
elevators of global law firm Clifford Chance at its Canary Wharf offices on 10
Upper Bank Street in London, England. The deal includes the integration of the
KONE Polaris® elevator destination control system to the 27 elevators in the 33-
story building to improve people flow for both tenants and end-users.
The advanced technology reduces elevator travel times and eliminates
overcrowding and unnecessary stops by guiding passengers to the most appropriate
elevator according to destination floor. Passengers pre-select their destination
floor on a user-friendly touchscreen display before entering the elevator and
can also save their preferences for future journeys. The KONE technology
improves the overall experience and also addresses the building's requirement to
move 25% more people as its population increases.
Upgrade work is expected to begin in June 2016, with completion expected by
December 2017.
"KONE has created a solution that tackles two of the main focuses in modern
lives - efficiency and time saving. Our destination control system was created
specifically to make vertical travel as simple and as effective as possible,"
says Michael Williams, Managing Director of KONE Great Britain. "I'm looking
forward to being able to share this technology with more customers and building
users across Great Britain."
The order was booked in the first quarter of 2016.
