New digital communication system to provide advanced remote monitoring to elevator maintenance industry
The market leaders in innovative elevator engineering solutions, Avire, has announced the launch of its Digital Communications Platform (DCP) following its recent acquisition of elevator specialist Microkey. The new technology based solution provides a 2-way data link from the lift to the outside world which can be used to extract data from any connected device in the lift to as secure cloud platform. The new sophisticated communication
platform, which will initially be launched in the UK, Germany and France, combines GSM (Global System Mobile) gateway, emergency telephones and M2M (Machine to Machine) gateway in one single unit, allowing for seamless remote configuration and lift data extraction. The DCP works as a connection point from the lift to the
outside world and vice versa. Situated in a machine room outside of the lift, DCP will continuously connect to elevator systems to check status, enabling maintenance companies to predict in more certainty when maintenance is due or a technical fault has occurred. This, in turn, improves building safety by ensuring standards are being met and faulty equipment is fixed efficiently. To ensure the information gathered
from the DCP is digestible, the end user will receive any outcomes and analytics through Avire’s cloud system, Avire Hub. This will allow both the lift companies and facility managers to simplify their operation, helping to reduce time, resource and cost. Rob Lewis, Managing Director at Avire,
commented: “As the only company to offer a system of this kind, we are hugely excited to launch our new product into the European market. We already know the technology is proven and trusted as it holds a large percentage of the Spanish market, so it’s fantastic to finally make it available to Avire’s customers. The great thing about the DCP is there are a number of ways it can be used; at its simplest level, it can be used as an emergency telephone and GSM, however, when using its full capa- bilities, it’s the building block to a complete ecosystem within the lift. We look forward to rolling this out to our customers to help increase their operational efficiency.” For more information regarding Avire

RenewableUK launches Switch List to promote diversity in energy sector
RenewableUK is launching a new database of women working in the energy sector, the Switch List, at our Global Offshore Wind 2018 event in Manchester today. The aim of the crowd-sourced database is
to make it easier for those organising industry events to identify female experts, and invite them as speakers. In March, RenewableUK marked International Women’s Day by pledging to ensure that at least 30% of the speakers, panellists and chairs at our events are women. The Switch initiative compliments other
06 fmuk
work underway in the sector on gender issues. Research by the campaign group POWERful Women shows that 50% of the top 80 companies across the energy sector have all-male boards, and just 6% of Executive Board members are female. RenewableUK’s Switch Project
Coordinator Alicia Green, who will be speaking at today’s event in Manchester about the initiative, said: “The Switch List is an innovative tool which has the potential to break the mould at industry events. Providing a platform for women to be
visible at all stages of their careers is a key step in promoting diversity. Our sector should reflect the new ideas and new people working to power the future; women are stepping up to the podium confidently but there’s still a disparity when it comes to gender balance at industry events. “Our new database, the Switch List, will
showcase the female gamechangers working in the renewable energy sector. Signing up to the free list will not only raise their profile – it will also inspire and encourage the next generation to emulate their success”.
