Easy navigation
KONE People Flow Intelligence will
make buildings easier to navigate, and
Virtanen envisions a future of even
smoother people flow. He sees buildings
recognizing regular users through
a wireless connection with a device
such as the phone in their pocket, and
automatically guiding them to their
destination.
“The elevators of the future are more
like taxis and less like buses. We want to
get people to the right destination with
the least number of stops possible,” he
says.
No waiting, no hassle, just smoother,
smarter people flow. ■
