Schindler Discusses Transportation Technology of the Future for Mixed-Use Buildings

MORRISTOWN, NJ, June 12, 2024 – Technology is constantly changing the way we interact with the world, and the vertical transportation industry is no exception.

With mixed-use buildings on the rise, technology will be imperative to ensure the security and organization of all the building’s systems. Schindler myPORT, for example, allows for smart grouping of passengers, allowing only specific individuals to access certain floors.

In a mixed-use building, this could look like ensuring residents, shoppers, and office workers inhabiting the same building never interact with one another by only granting access to specific elevator banks based on their destination.

Schindler MetaCore is the application of Schindler PORT technology that allows for the seamless transformation of buildings from singular use to multi-use. The system enables one elevator group to serve multiple applications—such as residential, office, or hospitality—while delivering a personalized transport experience for each passenger group.
