Ready To connect - Intelligent Solutions For Smart Buildings (Internet of Things Applications Europe 2019)

An elevator only goes up and down? An escalator just back and forth? That was once! Today, elevators, escalators and automatic doors are connected with each other, with buildings and with people. They provide "big data" from which we can learn and take preventive actions. And they offer countless possibilities for an even more comfortable life in cities via open interfaces. Through its digital platform, KONE offers future-proof solutions for intelligent and digital buildings and the movement of people in urban spaces.

The electrical engineer has headed KONE GmbH since March 2017. His main focus is to take advantage of the opportunities offered by digitalisation to further strengthen the customer orientation of the People Flow specialist KONE.
