Safety and security of intelligent lifts

TÜV Süd will be presenting its safety and security product range for lifts or smart elevators at the 2019 interlift in Augsburg (Hall 5, Stand 5,033).

Modern lifts feature an increasing number of IT systems that collect data or facilitate networking with the surrounding infrastructure or the manufacturer or maintenance company. According to a TÜV Süd press release, this increasing networking and the option for remote diagnosis and maintenance saved costs and improved lift availability,

"However, there are also new risks, especially regarding the security and protection of the data exchanged."
