From Tradition to Transformation

How Inovance is driving VT growth

Introduction

The vertical-transportation (VT) industry has evolved significantly from its traditional roots. Earlier elevators were seen as basic mobility solutions, limited in functionality. Modern VT, however, has transformed into an ecosystem of safety, convenience, efficiency and intelligence. Today, elevators and escalators are easier to install, configure and maintain, making them more accessible to a wider customer base — including low-, mid- and high-rise buildings, Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, affordable housing projects and infrastructure projects like metro, airports, etc. This evolution is expanding the traditional VT customer base into new geographies and market segments.

Safety First

Safety has always been at the core of VT systems, but modern elevators take it to the next level with advanced technologies. Integrated elevator controllers ensure precise motion control and reliable operations, risk-free during daily use. Features like seismic and fire functions add extra layers of protection, making elevators safer in critical scenarios. The use of multi-beam door sensors enhances passenger safety by preventing accidents and improving traffic flow. By upgrading traditional VT systems to modern solutions, customers benefit from a safer, more secure and future-ready transportation experience. The use of multi-beam door sensors enhances passenger safety by preventing accidents and improving traffic flow. 

Enhanced Functional Integration

Elevators today are expected to deliver much more than just vertical movement. Inovance’s elevator solutions provide smooth rides, efficient passenger handling, seismic and fire safety functions and intelligent technology integration. Designed to support flexible operation modes to enhance ride comfort through precision torque and speed control. This functional integration ensures elevators can meet the demands of both traditional and modern users.

Security Upgrades

Security has become a key differentiator in VT adoption. Inovance offers integration of biometric systems, access cards, fingerprint scanners and face ID technologies, allowing restricted floor operations and ensuring authorized access. These modern features help transform traditional elevators into advanced systems capable of serving today’s safety-conscious market.

Energy Efficiency

Sustainability is now a major demand driver for VT. Variable frequency drive (VFD) and permanent magnet synchronous (PMS) machine technology enable up to 40% energy savings compared to traditional systems. The use of Active Front End (AFE) regenerative technology allows energy recovery, reducing overall power consumption and complying with global standards. Elevators equipped with LED cabin lights, standby modes and advanced destination control technology further optimize energy use by intelligently analyzing passenger demand and minimizing idle time.

Enabling Aesthetic Looks

Modern VT is not just about performance — it’s also about design. Inovance provides advanced Car Operating Panel/Landing Operating Panel systems and customizable accessories that elevate the aesthetics of elevators. From sleek, modern panels to flexible layouts, Inovance ensures that OEMs and developers can offer designs tailored to building architecture and passenger preferences, blending functionality with visual appeal.
