Product Overview
Intelligent customization redefines vertical transportation
The Healthcare Lift System refers to the entire fleet of elevators required for a medical campus. It involves a strategic design process that models the hospital's traffic patterns (staff movement, visitor peaks, patient transfers, and supply deliveries) to determine the optimal mix of lifts. The system typically includes high-speed elevators for the central tower, medium-speed for the low-rise diagnostic wings, and specialized lifts for unique functions (e.g., sterile core lifts, morgue lifts, clean/dirty service segregation).
The key value of a "system" approach is the centralized traffic controller. This controller dynamically assigns cars based on real-time data, such as a staff member using a security card to call a service lift, or a doctor activating HES. This coordination prevents a critical patient transfer from being delayed by an unnecessary stop for a visitor. The entire system is built with resilience in mind, ensuring that if one component fails, the adjacent lifts can absorb the traffic load, maintaining the continuity of care.
Basic Product Parameters
Diverse options to meet the needs of different families
| System Architecture | Centralized Group Supervisory Control |
| Elevator Types | Passenger, Service, Patient (Minimum Three Distinct Car Sizes) |
| Communication | Digital Interface with Building Management System (BMS) |
| Resilience | N+1 Redundancy in Critical Elevators |
| Access | Multi-level Access Control (Key, Fob, Biometric) |
| Maintenance | Predictive Maintenance Algorithms |
Product Advantages
Why choose Tenau elevators?
Optimized Resource Allocation
Central control minimizes unnecessary travel and wait times across the entire hospital, ensuring resources (staff, supplies) move efficiently.
Predictive Maintenance Capability
Integrated sensors feed data into the control system, allowing the system to flag potential component failures before a breakdown occurs, significantly increasing uptime.
Product Features
Innovative technology, superior experience
- Energy Monitoring: The central system tracks the energy usage of each elevator, identifying opportunities for scheduling or maintenance to reduce overall consumption.
- Interface to Asset Tracking: Can be linked with Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) to track the movement of critical assets (e.g., mobile X-ray machines) between floors.
- Inter-Bank Communication: Allows the control system to transfer a low-priority call from a congested patient bank to an adjacent, less-used service bank (if policies allow).
Product Comparison
| Characteristic | Healthcare Lift System (Integrated) | Multiple Standard Elevators (Non-Integrated) |
| Efficiency | High (Managed by central algorithm) | Low (Cars respond individually to calls) |
| Reliability | High (Shared load, fault tolerance) | Low (Single point of failure per car) |
| Traffic Priority | Dynamic (Prioritizes HES, then patient, then service) | Static (First-come, first-served) |
| Cost Basis | Higher initial capital investment for software/control | Lower initial cost, higher long-term operational costs |
| Data Utilization | Real-time performance metrics and predictive fault analysis | Basic fault reporting (Down/Up) |

Application Scenarios
Suitable for a variety of residential environments
Large University Teaching Hospitals
Manages the complex and varied vertical movement needs of thousands of staff, students, visitors, and patients across a multi-building campus.
Outpatient Clinics and Medical Offices
A dedicated bank of slower-speed, quieter lifts for the high volume of ambulatory patients and visitors to clinics and doctors' offices.
Factors To Consider When Choosing Elevator
Comprehensive assessment, wise choice
Technical Factors
- Data Security: Ensuring the central control system and its connection to the hospital network are protected by the highest levels of cyber security (HIPAA compliance, etc.).
- Scalability: Choosing a control system that can easily incorporate additional elevators or new building wings as the hospital expands its footprint.
- Integration with Pneumatic Tubes: Coordinating the lift system with the hospital's pneumatic tube system to optimize the flow of lab samples and small items.
Usage Factors
- Security Protocols: Developing clear, comprehensive written protocols for the use of emergency keys, lockdown procedures, and elevator segregation policies.
- Software Upgrades: Budgeting for ongoing software licenses and upgrades for the central control algorithm, which drives the system's efficiency.
- Traffic Simulation: Running periodic traffic flow simulations to identify and mitigate potential bottlenecks as the hospital's service offerings and layout evolve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions you may be interested in
In an elevator bank of 'N' cars, N+1 redundancy means there is one extra car than mathematically needed to handle the peak traffic load, ensuring full capacity is maintained even if one car is down for maintenance or repair.
It ensures hygiene through the material specification (anti-microbial surfaces, seamless floors) and by separating 'clean' patient and food logistics from 'dirty' waste and biohazard removal via dedicated cars.
Yes, through key-card access, the system can identify a high-priority staff member (like a surgeon) and assign the nearest available elevator, sometimes overriding other low-priority calls.
