It starts with AGILE – Destination Controls

Here’s the new arrangement. Composed of intelligent controller algorithms – the destination selection control (DSC) software – as well as perfectly matched operating panels and pedestals, AGILE – Destination Controls intelligently groups together passengers who are traveling to similar floor destinations. Unlike conventional operations, a floor is chosen at the AGILE – Destination Control terminals in front of an elevator group and the intelligent dispatching software analyses the request – gauging traffic demand and grouping passengers based on similarity of destination. This leads to less crowding, fewer stops and a more efficient use of available elevator capacity.

Step 01

Passengers use the terminal to select their floor. You can add custom button labels and logos to make the process even easier.

Step 02

AGILE terminal clearly directs each passenger to an assigned elevator.

Step 03

Passengers board the assigned elevator that transports them to their destination.

Conventional vs. AGILE operation

Conventional operation

Passengers crowd into lobbies and press elevator push buttons, which can only register limited information — basically just single “up or down” requests. In turn, the passengers board the first elevator to answer the call.

AGILE – Destination Controls operation

Passengers use a terminal to select their floor. The intelligent dispatching software collects their information, analyses their requests, gauges traffic demand and groups them based on similarity of destination.
