Otis Presents Gen2® MOD in Latin America

Flat polyurethane-coated belts of the Gen2 are up to 20% lighter, require no lubrication, and last up to three times longer than conventional steel cables

New modernization solution brings the benefits of Gen2 elevator technology to existing buildings in Latin America.

The components will be produced at the Otis factory in São Bernardo do Campo.

São Bernardo do Campo, October 2, 2023 – Otis Brazil announces today the launch of the Gen2 MOD to bring the benefits of Gen2 elevator technology to old equipment through modernization. Otis (NYSE: OTIS) is the world leader in the manufacturing, installation, and servicing of elevators and escalators.

“Modernization typically occurs after 15 years of service and is an important part of the elevator lifecycle, as it allows building managers and owners to update their vertical transportation equipment with modern solutions”, says Fernando Peiter, Marketing and Sales Director of Otis for Latin America. “In addition to proven technology, the Gen2 MOD brings energy efficiency, passenger comfort, and the ability to connect with a destination management system, enhancing the overall experience for the end user.”

Gen2 MOD Features

The modernization extends the useful life of existing elevators, providing an updated system with safety features and other technologies – without requiring a completely new elevator system.

The Gen2 MOD was developed for nearly all existing elevator configurations up to 24 stops, compatible with Otis and other brand equipment. The components will be produced at the Otis factory in São Bernardo do Campo.

This new modernization solution brings the benefits of Otis Gen2 elevator technology:

The innovative flat polyurethane-coated belts of the Gen2 elevator are up to 20% lighter, require no lubrication, and last up to three times longer than conventional steel cables. These belts also eliminate contact between the metal of the pulleys and the metal of the steel cables used in traditional systems, resulting in a smoother and quieter ride for passengers. And, for safety, their condition is monitored 24 hours a day by Otis’s PULSE™ system, without the need to stop the equipment.
The gearless machine of the Gen2 elevator, which is smaller and requires fewer moving parts, offers a compact design.
The ReGen™ regenerative drive reduces energy consumption and generates clean energy by redirecting excess energy generated by the movement of the elevator back to the building.
A standby control system, which places the elevator in standby mode and resumes when the call button is pressed.

Advanced Connectivity

With modernization, elevators can also be monitored by the Compass 360™ destination management system, which reduces travel time by grouping passengers by destinations and zones, and by the eCall™ app, which allows the passenger to call the elevator from their own smartphone, automatically activated via Bluetooth® or wireless technology.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

The German economist Wolf-Peter Schill has no doubts: “Electric cars are already far superior to cars with internal combustion engines.”

Lula’s government changes rule in important benefit and thousands of Brazilians will no longer receive it; see what has changed.

Roraima bets on the sun to escape high tariffs: Amid the energy crisis and price hikes, solar energy is growing in Roraima and transforming consumption in the North region.

Scientists want to turn internet cables into sensors to listen for tremors on the Moon, and the plan could permanently change how the Artemis missions will explore, map risks, and protect astronauts on the lunar surface.

The German economist Wolf-Peter Schill has no doubts: “Electric cars are already far superior to cars with internal combustion engines.”

Researchers discover a possible hydrogen deposit of up to 46 million tons beneath an ancient coal basin, and the volume could exceed half of the entire global production.

While the world looks at oil, the war with Iran is already disrupting helium supply from Qatar, affecting car and iPhone chips, threatening AI expansion, and putting pressure on aluminum packaging at the highest value in four years.

Global warming will expose a treasure hidden under the ice of Antarctica and may spark an international dispute over gold and valuable minerals.

The Argentine government celebrates the lowest poverty rate in 7 years, but experts warn that the methodology has changed, real wages have fallen, unemployment has risen, and the number of people on the streets of Buenos Aires has increased by 57% since Milei took office.

If the trip to the Moon were a hoax, it would be necessary to keep the secret among 400,000 people for more than 50 years and to deceive even the Soviet Union, which was tracking the radio signals coming from the exact direction of the satellite during each Apollo mission.
