How Lift AI Transforms Elevator Maintenance with Reliable IoT Connectivity

    From Reactive Repairs to Proactive Uptime

    Lift AI develops intelligent monitoring systems that give elevator operators unprecedented visibility into their equipment performance. 

    But their ability to prevent downtime for customers was undermined by their own connectivity infrastructure. On July 4th, 2020, a perfect storm of a massive over-the-air update, an unexpected data load, a credit card limit, and no rollback capability took 380 devices offline simultaneously. Lift AI had to ask customers to physically retrieve devices from the tops of elevators, costing thousands of dollars. 

    Their platform was designed to prevent elevator downtime but was itself causing it. 

    Make sure your IoT infrastructure can match the reliability promises you make to your customers, and free your engineering team to focus on the innovations that set you apart.

    Engineering Focused on Uptime, Not Infrastructure

      Discover how offloading connectivity infrastructure to Blues allowed Lift AI's team to redirect their energy toward the predictive algorithms that actually prevent elevator failures before they happen.

“What sets Lift AI apart is our focus on the business use case and application engineering. We use best-in-class partners and products to move quickly and cost-effectively; the Blues team wakes up every morning and just thinks about this. You could have a whole department to keep devices running—or you can hire Blues.”
