The new generation of PORT enables property owners to take an even more flexible and sustainable approach when renovating, consolidating or repurposing buildings. 80% of the buildings that will be in use in 2050 already exist today. However, the way they are used may change over time.

With Schindler PORT 4D, a pure office building can become a mixed use building, for example, without the need to alter its existing structures. Clearly assigned access authorizations make combining offices, hotels, restaurants, retail spaces or apartments under one roof possible. With Schindler PORT 4D, the transport capacity of elevators can also be increased by up to 25% while reducing their energy consumption by as much as 40%.

“Buildings are built for people. With Schindler PORT 4D we make buildings even more eco-friendly and easy to access. This is the first holistic building traffic management system that enables seamless and secure transportation.”

Florian Troesch, Head of Transit Management Solutions at Schindler
