Jardine Schindler Group announced the Southeast Asian launch of its latest innovation for building transportation, PORT Technology. The Personal Occupant Requirement Terminal (PORT) is an intelligent elevator system that revolutionizes the way people move through buildings. This technology can increase traffic efficiency by up to 30% compared with a conventional elevator system, while delivering exceptional outcomes in energy savings and enhanced building security.
     PORT Technology represents the third generation of destination dispatch control algorithm which Schindler has developed. While Miconic 10 and Schindler ID revolutionized the elevator industry by focusing on moving people in an efficient manner, PORT is a major step forward by taking the concept of seamless transit management to a new level, adding more customization, communication, security, energy-saving and style features.
    With PORT Technology, each journey begins when a person enters his building and presents his access card over a reader at a turnstile gate or stand-alone PORT station. Within less than a second, the software's predictive algorithm quickly calculates each passenger's journey, chooses the best-suited elevator for them and crisply displays their assigned elevator on a bright and color monitor.
     By grouping passengers going to the same destination floor, PORT Technology avoids chaotic elevator runs, including the problem of random stops at numerous floors, which consumes large amounts of time and energy. PORT Technology provides the shortest possible trip for every passenger with less intermediate stops.
     The PORT Technology can be installed in any building structure, be it a high-rise skyscraper, an intelligent office tower, a mixed-use complex, a luxury condominium, a hotel, a campus-like building or a hospital.  PORT Technology was chosen for such prestigious projects as International Commerce Centre in Hong Kong and Heron Tower in London.
