"This award recognition is much more than just a technological success. It is a crucial step in demonstrating the value of a disruptive elevator and escalator innovation in the broader Vietnamese real estate eco-system,” says King Cheng, KONE’s managing director for Vietnam. “Already a forerunner with innovations such as KONE 24/7 Connected Services, KONE is delighted to bring our escalator and elevator expertise to accelerate the development of smarter and more sustainable cities in Vietnam. We also thank the NCDT for helping to elevate vertical transport excellence and innovation in the country with this accolade.”
Currently implemented in more than 100 buildings across Vietnam, KONE 24/7 Connected Services has transformed elevator and escalator maintenance locally by seamlessly integrating cutting-edge Internet of Things (IoT) technology with operational efficiency. Unlike traditional maintenance practices that rely on scheduled inspections, KONE’s system is proactive and predictive. Harnessing the power of data analytics and machine learning, it continuously collects data from sensors installed in elevators and escalators, analyzing the information in real-time to detect potential issues. This predictive maintenance approach not only enhances the safety and reliability of elevator and escalator rides, but also reduces operational costs for building owners and facility managers.
Furthermore, KONE has embraced an open ecosystem approach by allowing third-party developers to access its data platform. This has fostered a collaborative environment where innovative solutions can be developed to further enhance the performance and capabilities of existing products.
For over 20 years, KONE has pioneered innovative and sustainable solutions in Vietnam to improve the flow of urban life. It has been instrumental in delivering key real estate projects within the country, including Masteri Centre Point, LUMIÈRE Riverside, and Lancaster Legacy in Ho Chi Minh City; JW Marriott Hotel, Lancaster Luminaire, and My Dinh Pearl in Hanoi, as well as Techcombank Towers in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The company has also been recognized for its commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility. Earlier this year, KONE was conferred the prestigious Sao Khue Award 2023 for its KONE 24/7 Connected Services innovation. It also bagged the Vietnam Smart City Award 2022 for its world’s first digitally connected KONE DX Class elevator.
