Esse-ti LifTrack is a real-time monitoring system – Installed above the car-cabin, processes the data collected by the sensors and the inputs. Equipped with predictive analysis functions, it provides the information needed for routine and preventive maintenance, regardless of the brand of lift. LifTrack processes the data collected from the sensors and inputs and forwards it, via CAN-bus connection, to the alarm system or to the Esse-ti gateway already present on the installation. Via data connection, the information is then sent to an Esse-ti server and is made available in the e-stant web application. Thanks to the predictive analysis functions, provides all the info to ensure preventive and ordinary maintenance, independently from the lift brand. Ideally works with Helpy 2W-4G.VoLTE and 4G.evox CAN

By applying the Internet of Things (IoT) to elevator maintenance, Esse-ti makes it possible for any elevator operator to save on-site traveling costs while eliminating installation disruption times. Thanks to the freeware COMNet cloud, remote-surveillance and network connectivity can be experienced on any elevator in a super-fast and low-cost way, solving any challenges in preventive and predictive maintenance for the years to come
