Kone presents the modernization solution: Kone EcoMod2

Regular maintenance of equipment contributes greatly to the good reputation of a company.

KONE, the world leader in mobility solutions for buildings, announces its new innovative solution, KONE EcoMod 2. This technology allows the complete replacement of escalators and moving walks, while preserving the existing framework.

A replacement without constraints

Thanks to KONE EcoMod 2, it is now possible to modernize an escalator or moving walkway without undertaking heavy work, thus avoiding costly and intrusive modifications to the framework. This solution is designed to minimize nuisance for users and guarantee cost optimization.

Why choose KONE EcoMod 2?

• Configuration adapted to buildings : The KONE EcoMod 2 solution does not require a crane, simplifying installation.
• Respect for architecture : No intervention on the facades or floors of the building is necessary, guaranteeing architectural integrity.
• Continuity of service : Noise and dust are reduced, eliminating the need to close the site.

Anticipate malfunctions using innovative technologies

Nowadays, the performance of buildings no longer relies only on their layout or location, but also on the user experience. Thanks to AI, information on traffic, the number of people on the steps or even the most frequented floors is quickly collected. This gives you the essential indicators to analyze the flow and optimize user comfort.

Maintenance professionals like KONE combine highly trained technicians and innovative technologies to help you control your budget and maintenance costs. This also makes it possible to anticipate failures and reduce breakdowns of your escalator.

Furthermore, when we talk about maintenance, we often talk about parts to be replaced. To reduce storage space and the time required for installation, these are transported to the site only when they need to be installed.

Targeted maintenance to simplify operations

Even if the services offered are optimized by innovative technologies, human expertise remains at the heart of KONE's commitments. Its technicians are able to work on all brands and models of escalators to ensure the availability of all your installations.

Well equipped with high-performance tools, the KONE technician promises exhaustive and targeted maintenance to detect malfunctions and react quickly. As the drive of an escalator is placed outside the table and accessible from the pit, it is no longer essential to dismantle all the steps to access the brakes, the motor and other parts, thus facilitating maintenance.

As the KONE solution does not require any intervention on the frame and facades of the building, your existing architecture remains intact. Furthermore, it is not necessary to close your building during interventions or to prohibit access to visitors. Obviously, operations are planned taking into account peaks in traffic to reduce the inconvenience caused.

Eco-efficiency optimized for user comfort

Owners and managers ensure better use of their building’s energy resources. With effective and regular maintenance of your equipment, you can reduce the carbon footprint of your structure as well as its GHG emissions. You can also achieve several ecological goals:

• Extend the life of your escalators
• Promote and monitor the energy consumption of all your installations
• Avoid premature replacement of parts or carrying out expensive modernization work
• Optimizing escalator performance through predictive maintenance

Thanks to its years of experience, KONE is able to offer you a solution perfectly adapted to the constraints of your building and the needs of your users. Its wide range of tailor-made and safety-relevant products ensures smooth movement of people. It also offers you a vast choice in terms of light and aesthetics, with options to promote eco-efficiency.

Maintenance allows you to have an escalator that is durable, secure and efficient at the same time. People flows are thus optimized and facilitated to improve the satisfaction of your users during their visits.
