Unosafe Elevator

Deepak B P (DBP), director, Unosafe Elevator Pvt. Ltd., shares with your author (SSP) perspectives on the company’s latest developments and key products offered.

SSP: What are recent developments by Unosafe Elevator, and how will they impact the vertical-transportation (VT) industry going forward?

DBP: Unosafe Elevator has recently invested in advanced technology and automation in both manufacturing and installation processes. We’ve implemented AI-based predictive maintenance systems that monitor elevator performance in real-time, significantly reducing downtime and ensuring safety. Additionally, our latest product line includes energy-efficient elevators that align with green building standards, setting a new benchmark in sustainability for the VT industry. These developments will enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs and contribute to a more sustainable and safer urban infrastructure.

SSP: What is the scope and significance of machine-room-less (MRL) and machine-room (MR) elevators? For which segments are such elevators suitable?

DBP: MRL elevators are becoming increasingly popular due to their space-saving design and lower energy consumption. These elevators are ideal for residential buildings, small commercial spaces and modern office complexes where space is at a premium. On the other hand, MR elevators, while requiring more space, are better suited for high-rise buildings, hospitals and facilities with heavy-duty requirements due to their greater load capacity and faster speeds. Both types of elevators serve crucial roles depending on the building’s architecture and intended use.

SSP: What are the major products offered by Unosafe Elevator? Any recent announcements by the company?

DBP: Unosafe Elevator offers a wide range of products, including passenger elevators, freight elevators, escalators and moving walks. Our recent announcement includes the launch of our new line of high-speed elevators designed for skyscrapers and large commercial projects. These elevators are equipped with the latest safety features and smart controls and are capable of integrating with building management systems for seamless operations.

SSP: What are the benefits and significance of hydraulic elevators in the current scenario and how suitable are they for the Indian elevator market?

DBP: Hydraulic elevators offer several benefits such as smooth and quiet operation, precise leveling and the ability to handle heavy loads, making them ideal for low- to mid-rise buildings, hospitals and industrial settings. In the Indian market, where there is a mix of older buildings and new constructions, hydraulic elevators are particularly suitable for retrofitting existing structures due to their flexibility in installation and lower space requirements. Their cost-effectiveness and reliability further enhance their appeal in the Indian context.

SSP: What are your views on the VT industry for 2025? What are your expectations and plans?

DBP: By 2025, we expect the VT industry to witness substantial growth, driven by rapid urbanization, smart city projects and increasing demand for energy-efficient solutions. The industry will likely see a shift toward more integrated and intelligent systems that enhance user experience and safety. Unosafe Elevator plans to expand its product portfolio to include more eco-friendly options, and we are also investing in the Internet of Things (IoT) and AI to enhance our service offerings, ensuring we remain at the forefront of industry advancements.

SSP: Which segments (retail, commercial, residential) and sub-segments (elevators, escalators, moving walks) in the VT industry will receive maximum traction in the coming years?

DBP: Residential and commercial segments, especially smart and energy-efficient elevators, will see maximum traction. Retail will focus on escalators and moving walks to enhance customer experience.

SSP: What are the latest trends and technological advancements in elevator technology that the VT industry should embrace?

DBP: The industry is embracing smart elevators with AI, IoT and touchless control systems. Energy-efficient designs are also gaining importance. Unosafe Elevator is leading these advancements with cutting-edge technology integration.

SSP: What advantages does having a manufacturing unit offer, and how does this contribute to the smooth operations of a company?

DBP: Having our own manufacturing unit allows Unosafe Elevator to maintain strict quality control, ensure faster production times and offer customized solutions tailored to client needs. It also enables us to innovate continuously, adapting quickly to market demands and technological advancements. This vertical integration enhances our ability to manage costs effectively, reduce lead times and deliver high-quality products and services, ultimately contributing to our reputation as a reliable and responsive partner in the VT industry.
