KONE, a global elevator and escalator company with over a century of experience, is dedicated to enhancing people flow in buildings, from smaller structures to major towers and infrastructure. Their director of New Building Solutions for Australia and New Zealand, Adam Grando, highlighted KONE's innovative technologies and solutions that support the entire lifecycle of their assets. KONE has been a pioneer in vertical and horizontal transportation innovations, including turnstiles, destination control, and access control systems.

KONE collaborates with various partners and continues to deliver its solutions worldwide. They recently partnered with Dexus and John Holland to provide premium vertical transportation for the Waterfront Brisbane project. KONE also played a vital role in Australia 108, a residential skyscraper in Melbourne, where their innovative solutions improved energy efficiency and elevator performance.

One of KONE's offerings, JumpLift, is a construction time elevator with a temporary machine room that moves with the building's progress. This solution has proven to be a game-changer in project delivery, helping developers save time and stay on budget.

KONE's commitment to innovation includes digital experience elevators (DX) that connect with various technologies within buildings, from cleaning and delivery robots to concierge robots and applications for calling elevators from smartphones. The company focuses on creating a contactless and seamless building environment by ensuring their elevator systems can communicate with other technologies installed in a building.

KONE has also partnered with BindiMaps, a navigation tool that aids people, especially those with visual impairments, in finding their way within buildings. The company is dedicated to providing end-to-end solutions and prioritizes safety and quality in every project. They offer digital tools to assist with planning and prioritize safety throughout the installation and maintenance processes. KONE's approach combines support, service, and advanced modernization technology to improve buildings across the built environment.
