On May 10, 2016, the 12th China International Elevator Exhibition opened in Shanghai International Convention and Exhibition Center. Hitachi Elevator (China) Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "Hitachi Elevator") 's innovative concept of "HUMAN FRIENDLY(human care, create a better future)" was officially released. At the same time, products designed based on this concept -- "HF-1 concept elevator" and "Hitachi Escalator and automatic Sidewalk Solutions" were also displayed at the exhibition.
In the last elevator exhibition, Hitachi Elevator released the ultra-high speed elevator technology with a speed of 1200 meters. This release of the concept of HUMAN FRIENDLY not only further confirmed the innovation ability of Hitachi elevator, but also revealed the further pursuit of innovation of Hitachi elevator -- human care, to create more safe, secure and convenient elevator experience for passengers.
On top of speed is the power of innovation
The theme of this exhibition of Hitachi Elevator is "Better serve people with innovation, make life further", which well explains the status of "innovation" in the process of design and production. In the fast developing society, people pay attention to efficiency; In the age of quality life, people pursue comfort. Hitachi elevator to innovate and refresh speed, with ingenuity to create the ultimate experience. As Shinji Mizumoto, president of Hitachi Elevator (China), mentioned, the car is a "horizontal moving" means of transportation, and the elevator is a "vertical moving" means of transportation. We want to make the elevator not only the fastest "sports car", but also the most comfortable "RV".
HF-1 elevator, as the first concept model of HUMAN FRIENDLY, works with the famous Japanese designer Naoto Fukanzawa to integrate his "Without Thought" design concept into the product design. Through the optimization of the car interior spatial design, lighting, floor display and other details, reflected Hitachi elevator based on human innovation.
Another embodiment of the combination of "innovation" and "humanization" can be seen in Hitachi escalator and automatic sidewalk products: through the application of innovative technologies, passengers' demands for safety and comfort and pursuit of unconscious experience on stairs can be fully satisfied. The intelligent and safe sensor detection technology is used to carry out real-time abnormal monitoring and comprehensively increase the safety of the elevator. The 20 meters/minute intelligent deceleration state specially set for children and elderly passengers is Hitachi's innovative technology that fully reflects humanistic care and attaches importance to passengers' pursuit of escalator experience.
Human concern is the root of all innovative technologies and development strategies
In addition to focusing on speed breakthroughs, Hitachi Elevator is also looking at smart transformation. As the world moves towards industry 4.0, China has released the "Made in China 2025" strategy, and intelligent manufacturing has become a compulsory course for major enterprises. The direct direction of intelligent manufacturing is human concern. The concept of HUMAN FRIENDLY is not only a response to the strategy of "Made in China 2025", but also a sublimation and unification of its own product design and service concept. It re-examines the people-oriented technology development direction and takes the development of humanization business as a new strategic goal.
Shinji Mizumoto, president of Hitachi Elevator (China), explained the concept of HUMAN FRIENDLY in more detail at the press conference: "The innovation we understand is not only the innovation starting from technology and product, but also the innovation starting from demand. We want to make it easier for people to move around the city. Therefore, we integrate design and technology to satisfy people's unconscious behaviors and integrate them into products and services. Through practical application in various fields, these touch points can be embodied in concrete."
Starting from the concept of HUMAN FRIENDLY, Hitachi Elevator will continue to strengthen the development of old ladder transformation, old building installation, new maintenance business in the future. Hitachi Elevator through the popularization and optimization of MUGTM elevator maintenance system, elevator service support system, ELECLOUDTM mobile terminal information platform and other new maintenance service system, relying on big data, cloud computing, Internet of things and other technologies to promote the data information analysis, service support supporting intelligent humanization construction, to add an additional layer of intelligent bumper for elevator safety.
Hitachi Elevator believes that elevators, as an important means of transportation in cities and buildings, only pay attention to the elevator itself, has not met people's increasing pursuit of quality life. In the face of various urban development issues, Hitachi Elevator will take the concept of humanity as the basis, through the social innovation force to provide a variety of high-quality solutions, comprehensively promote the elevator led by the building system business, in response to the continuous innovation of the mobile system needs to create the future in innovation.
