[Asia Economy Reporter Junhyung Lee] Advanced materials and components company Korea ICT announced on the 29th that it has developed the country's first add-on type integrated elevator management system that applies artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and other technologies in an integrated manner.

This technology allows real-time monitoring of elevator emergency situations by installing only a monitoring module without replacing the already installed elevators and control panels. It can monitor elevators from about 60 manufacturers in real time without receiving separate data from the manufacturers. The monitoring module enables remote control of elevators, which can help quickly evacuate passengers trapped inside.

It can also prevent safety accidents in advance. According to the company, it manages the operating time and replacement history of elevator parts as big data to prevent product failures beforehand. The integrated management system collects and manages big data on elevator management by manufacturer, which can improve not only safety but also operational quality.

Kim Jeong-yong, CEO of Korea ICT, said, "This development has opened a revolutionary turning point in the safety management of elevators in public buildings and residential areas," adding, "We plan to start developing a prototype soon." CEO Kim added, "We will upgrade the system by incorporating advanced technologies in line with changing trends and will actively enter global markets such as China, the world's largest elevator market."
