Durable and efficient escalators thanks to radar sensors

Why choose radar-enabled escalators?

Traditional escalators are often left running continuously even when no one is using them. This results in unnecessary energy consumption, accelerated wear of parts and higher maintenance costs.

With radar sensors, escalators are automatically activated as soon as someone approaches and stopped again when no movement is detected. This has significant benefits in terms of energy efficiency, sustainability and cost savings.

Sustainability and energy efficiency

Reduced energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.

By activating the escalator only when needed, energy waste is drastically reduced. This leads to lower electricity requirements and thus a reduction in CO₂ emissions.

Using energy resources more efficiently contributes to sustainability and demonstrably helps companies reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint.

Longer equipment life

By reducing the running hours of an escalator, there is less stress on the mechanical components. This results in less wear on motors, chains and gears, significantly extending the life of the equipment.

Less wear and tear also means less maintenance and replacement of parts. This not only saves costs, but also contributes to sustainability by generating less waste.

Sustainable design and integration

Radar sensors can be invisibly integrated into the escalator or surrounding structure. This preserves the aesthetic design without requiring additional material consumption. This makes radar-enabled escalators not only functional, but also a sustainable choice without visual modifications to the infrastructure.

Long-term cost savings

Reduced energy costs through more efficient power use directly reduce operational expenses. In buildings with multiple escalators, these savings can add up significantly each year.

In addition, less wear leads to lower maintenance costs. Parts need to be replaced less frequently and the number of failures is reduced, lowering overall maintenance and repair costs.

How do radar sensors work on escalators?

Our radar sensors detect motion and presence around the escalator. As soon as a person approaches, the sensor activates the escalator. Once no more motion is detected, the escalator automatically stops.

This technology works with high detection accuracy and prevents unnecessary activation due to environmental factors. In addition, the sensors are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and require minimal maintenance.
