Elevator construction facing profound structural changes
Elevator construction is facing profound structural changes. Although it is difficult to identify a clearly defined key theme at present, two developments are having a particularly significant impact on the industry: the ongoing digitalisat...Modernising lifts: lifts with energy recovery
Hydraulic lifts still dominate the building stock of many cities today. They are considered durable, maintenance-friendly and robust, but are coming under increasing pressure as energy efficiency and sustainability become more important. Op...Motion sensors in lift construction and various industries
In lift construction, motion is not an abstract process, but a safety-critical condition. Position, speed and deceleration must be precisely recorded at all times in order to minimise risks for users, maintenance personnel and equipment.Platform lift – accessibility for independent living
Accessibility is no longer a niche issue, but a key criterion in modern building design. In private homes in particular, there is a growing need for solutions that enable people with limited mobility to live independently in their own homes...Software for the lift industry – with real-time data from the systems
The lift industry has been under increasing organisational pressure for years. Rising demands on documentation, maintenance, transparency and response times are coming up against a structure that is heavily dominated by small and medium-siz...Mini lifts for private residences
The desire for comfortable mobility in one's own home is growing, especially in buildings with multiple levels. Stairs quickly become a burden in everyday life, whether due to age, comfort requirements or simply because of daily use. Mini l...Platform lifts and vertical lifts for accessibility in buildings
Lifts are still considered a planning challenge in many buildings, especially when space is limited or the existing structure allows for little intervention. It is precisely in such situations that specialised solutions become increasingly ...Safety components for lift construction from Hans Jungblut
Safety components are among the invisible but key components in lift construction. They work in the background, are barely noticeable during normal operation and only become relevant when they need to function reliably.Lift control with IoT and mobile phone from Hydroware
Hydraulic lift systems are considered robust and durable, but are increasingly reaching their organisational limits in everyday use. Maintenance, commissioning and servicing often require a presence in the machine room, which costs time and...Retrofittable lifts – integrating lifts into existing buildings
For many years, there has been a growing demand for lift solutions that can be integrated into existing buildings. In private residential construction in particular, but also in public spaces, planners and operators are faced with the task ...Belt for lifts made of plastic fibre without metal reinforcement
In lift technology, the focus is often on controls, energy consumption and maintenance intervals. However, components that are rarely in the spotlight are just as important: belts, ropes, drives and the supporting mechanics. These are the f...Emergency call systems: Lift emergency call solutions for buildings
Emergency call systems are among the invisible but indispensable components of modern buildings. They come into play whenever regular processes are interrupted and fast, reliable communication is required.Lift modernisation: ride comfort, energy consumption, maintenance
In many buildings, lifts have been operating reliably for decades, but at the same time they are becoming outdated in terms of technology and energy efficiency. Hydraulic systems in particular are considered durable, but their control, regu...Lift construction: Electric safety catches for hydraulic lifts
Hydraulic lifts play a central role wherever heavy loads need to be moved safely, in a controlled and reliable manner. In industrial plants, workshops or logistics buildings, stability, precision and operational safety are more important th...WhatIfTheWorld Gallery
The intention of the WHATIFTHEWORLD GALLERY from Cape Town is a kind of hopeful look into the future. It started mainly with emerging artists. Some of these artists are now exhibiting in museums all over the world. The gallery still promote...Ser Serpas - JUNGER ANKAUF
The Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst am Museum Ludwig is showing works by US artist Ser Serpas at ART COLOGNE 2023 in Cologne, democratically selected by the JUNGER ANKAUF initiative.Gallery & Publisher - M29
Started as a project space, M29 is now a gallery and publishing house. A dialog of art and text. The focus is on modern, young art in all areas.ARTELIER CONTEMPORARY
ARTELIER CONTEMPORARY from Graz has around 150 artists in its program. At ART COLOGNE 2023, Petra Schilcher shows us works by Michaela Konrad and we talk to contemporary artist Michael Schuster.
