TENAU Smart Elevator

This term acts as a functional definition, meaning the elevator must meet all the critical standards for a clinical environment, distinguishing it from standard commercial or residential lifts. Key functional requirements include: Load Capacity (must safely handle a fully equipped bed with multiple personnel), Car Geometry (must be deep enough for the bed), Ride Quality (must prevent patient distress), and Door Efficiency (must open and close quickly and safely for equipment). The elevator's control system must be integrated into the hospital's central communication and emergency systems.

The construction of an elevator for hospital use is inherently robust. The door track and operator systems are heavy-duty to ensure continuous performance under frequent, sometimes rough, loading and unloading conditions. The car's internal lighting is usually bright (high lux levels) and uniformly distributed to assist medical staff in reading charts or assessing a patient's status during transit. Furthermore, the shaft and lobbies of these elevators often feature specialized air pressure controls to help manage airborne infection risks.
