Opening up the skyline: Schindler talks history of elevators

Date:

MORRISTOWN, NJ, March 17, 2023 – The National Association of Scholars (NAS) recently brought together a panel of experts for its American Innovation Webinar Series, including Schindler Elevator Corporation’s Stephen Nichols, Senior Product Manager, to discuss the history as well as future of elevators and the role they have played in opening up some of the world’s biggest skylines.

Elevator dispatching is an art and a science. When you look at the broad topic of computerization or digitization of the elevator, it’s really happening in two areas: how do you enhance passenger experience, and the development of predictive and proactive maintenance and service.”

Stephen Nichols, Senior Product Manager
