In recent years, the rapid development of artificial intelligence and other technologies has brought more and more robot products into the familiar life scenarios of ordinary people, which not only brings consumers a high-tech experience, but also meets people's needs for high efficiency. In particular, the contactless and automated requirements generated during the epidemic prevention and control period have helped the application scenarios of robots in all walks of life continue to deepen. In addition to industrial manufacturing, robots have also appeared in medical, sanitation, hotel catering and other occasions. Early application environments were usually single-floor, but nowadays, with the complexity of modern robot functions, most enterprises expect robots to be able to complete the cross-floor transmission of their own elevators. Otis actively responds to the changes in users' demand for elevator functions and realizes the interconnection between smart elevators and robots.
Otis pioneered the elevator industry 170 years ago and has always led the industry. Relying on the world's leading innovative technology and local R&D, design, manufacturing and service capabilities, the intelligent integrated elevator created by Otis can be compatible with most of the Otis commercial elevators produced since 1990, and the application programming interface (API) can be linked with any brand or model of robot that supports API, which can be used for specific elevator groups or floors, flexibly connecting robots with multiple elevators, and the product is intelligent, safe, efficient and reliable, and effectively broadens the new scenario of robot elevators.
With the collaboration of Otis Elevator, the robot service scene is diversifying. Take the experience of a guest at the Keihan Universal City Hotel in Osaka, Japan, as an example: after the guest lost the charger when his mobile phone was in a hurry, the hotel's service robot realized cross-floor transportation through the Otis smart elevator without human assistance, and quickly delivered the charger to his room on the 10th floor. During the night hours when the number of staff on duty is reduced, Otis works with service robots to quickly respond to the delivery needs of hotel guests instead of humans. Robots shuttle through each floor for flexible obstacle avoidance and intelligent distribution, which can not only become a "good helper" for hotel staff, help hotels reduce costs and increase efficiency, but also bring customers a different living experience.
Otis is a world leader in the manufacture, installation, maintenance and refurbishment of elevators and escalators, with more than 69,000 employees worldwide to meet the diverse needs of customers and users in more than 200 countries. Guided by innovation, with the goal of improving the quality of the city and promoting sustainable development, Otis continues to accelerate the deepening of its digital product strategy, and is committed to empowering future life scenarios with the power of technological innovation and ecology, helping the construction of smart cities to a new level. In the future, Otis will further strengthen strategic cooperation between industries, jointly promote the intelligent development of commercial spaces such as hotels, and create more value for society.
