The Lift Monitoring Predictive Device (LMPD) acts as the first line of defence against lift/elevator failures caused by poor maintenance. The LMPD is a non-intrusive device that does not void the warranty of a lift/elevator when installed. It only requires power and can begin monitoring the lift/elevator almost immediately after it establishes the baseline conditions. With its ability to detect speed, vibration, current and other data points using multiple custom built sensors, the LMPD is able to process and flag out anomalies in real time to the relevant authorities/persons responsible. This allows for predictive maintenance to occur to prevent lift/elevator breakdowns before they happen. In addition, the LMPD is also compatible with Bluetooth sensors and can enable many smart city applications such robotic delivery services, public asset detection and safety services for children and the elderly.
