Fujitec Receives Major Elevator Remote-Monitoring Certification

Fujitec Co., Ltd. announced on September 12 that its group company Fujitec Singapore Corp. Ltd. has become the first Japanese company to obtain certification for elevator maintenance using remote monitoring in Singapore. Established by the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore in 2022 and aimed at enhancing sustainability, accessibility and safety, these regulations are the first of their kind for the remote monitoring of elevators in countless high-rise buildings throughout the country. The regulations include advanced criteria, including 24-h remote monitoring of elevators’ operational status to detect signs of malfunction in real time. Fujitec Singapore renewed its remote-monitoring system to receive certification for Jurong Town Corp., a government agency that develops and manages property in Singapore. The company also refurbished control panels for the relevant elevators and developed a new app for building managers to view operational status. Fujitec plans to adopt remote monitoring globally under its new Move On 5 Medium-Term Management Plan.
