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.

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

While communities suffer from water scarcity and the advancing desert, women in Morocco use nets high up in the mountains to trap fog droplets, fill reservoirs, and transport drinking water through more than 10 km of piping.

Macaúba has ceased to be a pest in the cerrado and has become a billion-dollar bet to supply planes and trucks, with Mubadala eyeing R$ 15 billion, vegetable oil, degraded lands, and sustainable fuel that still depends on future commercial-scale harvesting.

Research vessel departs from Fortaleza this Sunday for a 35-day mission to map the Brazilian ocean floor and search for unknown marine species, two-ton robot on board can descend up to 6,500 meters deep.

China built a 300-meter horizontal skyscraper that connects four towers at a height of 250 meters, with a steel structure weighing 12,000 tons, equivalent to the Eiffel Tower, and it was assembled on the ground before being lifted with hydraulic systems.

Tiny watermelons, sweet and with red or orange flesh, can become a choice for those who want an individual fruit without waste and easy to produce.
