Journey begins

Through collaborating with EMSD, we jointly developed the "Smart Lift Monitoring System 1.0". Based on the previous achievements, we plan to optimize the existing monitoring strategy and release a brand-new mobile solution at this stage. This will enable not only the property managers or lift contractors, but also the passengers (particularly the elderly, disabled person with mobility problems and the caregivers) to be aware of the operational status and potential risks of their daily riding lifts at anytime and anywhere, thus guaranteeing the safer and more efficient travel.
