KONE Polaris

KONE Polaris ™ combines innovative technologies designed to increase the level of comfort and safety of passengers, and modern design, made in accordance with the requirements and wishes of the customer. This gives more architectural freedom and emphasizes the appearance of the lobby of your building.

The amount of information that KONE Polaris ™ works with is three times the volume that a traditional system works with, which greatly improves the efficiency of the system. This provides high throughput, shorter waiting times, fewer stopovers and increased passenger comfort. These improvements are most noticeable during peak hours, when traditional control systems are struggling to cope with intense passenger traffic.

• High throughput capacity
  The increase in the capacity of a group of elevators is especially noticeable at “peak hours”, for example, at the beginning of a working day in office buildings.
• Reduced waiting time and number of intermediate stops
  Information on the number of people and their destination floors allows passengers traveling to the same floor to be collected from one cabin, which reduces travel time and number of passengers.
  intermediate stops.
• Increased comfort level
  Passengers choose the destination floor before entering the elevator. Therefore, they do not have to push through the crowd in the booth to press the floor button. Moreover, passengers do not need to rush to the designated elevator, being afraid not to have time to enter it - the system knows how long it takes to slowly walk to the cabin from the call recording terminal.
• Enhanced security
  KONE Polaris ™ allows you to integrate an elevator system into a building's access control system. Residents and employees of the building can use electronic passes and PIN-codes, which significantly reduces unauthorized use of elevators by unauthorized persons and increases the overall level of security in the building.
• High individual approach
  For the comfort of passengers, the KONE Polaris ™ can be customized to meet specific user requirements. The required time for opening doors, automatic distribution of calls to the floors of the building and sound notification are features of an individual approach to passengers.
• Availability
  For passengers who need extra time and space, an access function is provided that can be activated using electronic access cards or a special button. The function provides more time to get to the elevator, the delay in the operation of the doors and, since fewer passengers will be sent to this elevator, it increases the free space in the cabin.
• Absolute route control
  Additional displays show selected destination floors. At the same time, only the destination floors that were selected from the place where the elevator was last stopped are displayed. This gives passengers the opportunity to quickly make sure that the cabin is heading in the direction they need.
• More space
  The elevator car will not be full, as KONE Polaris ™ distributes passengers so that each elevator has a certain number of people. The trip will take a minimum of time, as each elevator serves certain floors.

Regardless of where the elevator is installed: in an office building, in a hotel or residential complex - everywhere KONE Polaris ™ will provide:

• operating efficiency for building owners;
• comfort and reduced travel time for passengers;
• safety and tranquility for residents.

KONE Polaris ™ DCS is an advanced dispatching system created using KONE's latest advances in group control technology. The system includes unique software algorithms, in particular:

• Artificial Intelligence
• Traffic prediction
• Fuzzy logic
• Genetic algorithm
• Multi-criteria optimization

KONE Polaris ™ combines innovative technologies designed to increase the level of comfort and safety of passengers, and modern design, made in accordance with the requirements and wishes of the customer. This gives more architectural freedom and emphasizes the appearance of the lobby of your building.
Since the KONE Polaris ™ system directs passengers to the desired elevator, it is no longer necessary to place elevators in a row within clear visibility. This gives architects greater freedom in designing halls and placing elevators.
In addition, the system makes it possible to add new elevators to groups or to dismantle elevators, for example, located close to each other, and thus increase the overall efficiency of the entire elevator system. This is especially beneficial when overhauling buildings.
The ability to choose the design of control panels means that the design can be chosen to best fit the interior of the building.
