With this the company intends to improve service for customers in Spain, Portugal and Italy. T he construction costs for the modern and environmen- tally friendly spare parts warehouse amounted to 3.5 million euros. A new central distribution warehouse in Spain is to reduce waiting times for elevator spare parts by 20% and to save 10% of all trips by service technicians. As a central management and storage point, the new faci- lity in San Fernando de Henares aims to guarantee the com- plete availability of all spare parts for elevator operators and optimize their logistics through Smart Data services, analysis and processing of real-time data. The company stressed that the use of smart data analytics will help to manage logistics processes in only a third of the time previously required. The digitalized spare parts logistics is intended to ensure that elevators can quickly be put back into operation. Down- time for customers would be minimized as the spare parts are available around the clock and arrive at the service technician at exactly the right time. According to the company, the technicians could save 10% of the annual trips between the customers and branch offices, since all required spare parts are now brought along on the first visit. With a total area of 6,853m², including 6,253m² storage space and 500 m² office space, the pilot project in Spain offers space for around 10,000 different spare parts. It can process over 1,4 million orders per year – an increase of 400% compared to the previous system. The warehouse in Madrid will be the first centrally mana- ged smart depot of its kind in the world, according to thys- senkrupp Elevator. Similar facilities are planned for various important distribution hubs, including Memphis, Neuhausen, Shanghai, Porto Alegre and Pune. As a result, thyssenkrupp Elevator wants to completely end the distribution of its many elevator components to currently more than 10,000 small storage locations. LEARNING SPARE PARTS WAREHOUSE To make the spare parts warehouses and thousands of ele- vators “talk” to each other, the new facility will be linked to Max – the predictive maintenance solution by thyssenkrupp Elevator already installed in 120,000 elevators worldwide. The real-time data collected by sensors is sent to the cloud, where it is analyzed by a learning system with artificial intelligence. According to thyssenkrupp Elevator, the advan- tage for customers is that Max recognizes which technical components need to be maintained or replaced before they fail. “This allows for replacement before the elevator is out of service for even a minute.” Max’s algorithm, which is connected to the technicians’ mobile devices, is to send precise diagnoses, keep employees informed about maintenance and repair needs at their custo- mers’ sites and prepare them for all eventualities. ⇤ thyssenkrupp-elevator.com 35 AKTUELL  NEWS
