G Element and KONE Partner to Revolutionize Vertical Transport Management with 3D Digital Twin Technology

Singapore, 8 October 2024 – G Element, a leading provider of 3D live Digital Twin solutions, and KONE, a global leader in elevator and escalator solutions, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to jointly explore market opportunities and develop advanced digital solutions for enhanced vertical transportation management. This partnership will focus on delivering innovative solutions that improve the performance, management and efficiency of elevators and escalators through the integration of 3D Digital Twin technology.

The partnership marks a significant step forward in smart building innovation, combining KONE’s global leadership in the lift and escalator industry with G-Element’s expertise in Live Digital Twin solutions. At its core, this collaboration focuses on deploying advanced 3D Digital Twin solutions to enhance building performance and efficiency. Both companies will work closely to launch targeted market initiatives across Asia and Australasia, while exchanging technical expertise and industry best practices.

G Element’s Digital Twin platform is able to integrate current security systems and vertical transportation solutions, providing real-time surveillance, alarms and access control.
