When facing the rapid development of modern TFT screens in the lift industry it quickly becomes clear, that this is not just a passing trend, but the future. The use of screens in lifts does not only look impressive, but also brings many technical advantages. More and more often multifunction screens are utilized across-the-board. They can be found not only in the industrial sector anymore, but rather in households. The touch technology makes screens a flexible input device and allows interaction with the user.  It therefore makes sense to use touch screens in lifts, both in car and floor panel. Therefore the interested users’ question of the technology’s advantages and disadvantages raises.

Load measuring sensors for elevators are used in many different areas. Usually the identification of overload situations is sufficient. In other applications though, exact information about the load situation is necessary. New measuring processes and the interconnection of sensors via the field bus of the lift are now offering flexible possibilities for evaluation and visualization for many application cases.

Using the CANopen-Lift standard, system data from the control system and components are available on the bus in real time. With the flexiPage system of ELFIN the data are edited and visualised in a flexible manner. On the occasion of the Interlift 2015 the LiftEquip company presented the energy recovery topic by way of the energy data example.

High-definition TFT displays are being used in an increasing number of applications. They allow large amounts of information to be displayed on a relatively small area. The large number of applications is not only owed to the advantageous price of the display panels but also to the expectations of users who use smartphones and tablet PCs everywhere and expect such common user interface also from other appliances and machines.
