Intelligent Lifts

I saw intelligent lifts in a new office building in Bahrain. The user keys in the number of the floor and the display on the panel shows the specific lift that is being despatched to you.

The computer system for the lifts is able to group several people visiting the same floor and direct them to a specific lift. This reduces the number of floors that the lift has to stop.

It is the first time that I have seen a lift operated in this manner.

    Hi Mr Tan
    The lifts at Sumsung Hub in Cross Street are using similar mechanism.

    Hi Mr. Tan,

    I think MOE in Buona Vista is using the same system.

    The lift operated at DSO Kent Ridge has a similar concept.
