The simple, yet elegant, face of the Schindler PORT system.
The brain behind the Personal Occupant Requirement Terminal, or Schindler PORT, is a powerful software system that uses information to guide and transport people quickly and safely to their individual destinations, communicating with them through a simple yet elegant device called Schindler PORT.
Schindler's extraordinary new Schindler PORT is your portal to communicate with building occupants. It can provide a range of command and communication functions that provide continuous service to you and your building’s occupants. Reliable as it is elegant, the Schindler PORT terminal can be mounted to the wall or installed with a freestanding pedestal. Whatever your architectural specifications, the Schindler PORT terminal can be a welcome feature.
Schindler also designed the Schindler PORT terminal to be extremely energy efficient. Each Schindler PORT has a motion sensor to detect when it is required to be active and at all other times, is placed into a low energy consumption state. When the screen illuminates, an ambient light sensor determines the brightness level required, again optimizing energy usage. Finally, the processor, the heart of each Schindler PORT, has the lowest energy consumption in its class.
Schindler's building mobility solutions are built upon our more than 20 years of destination-dispatch technology experience. Today, the most efficient method of moving passengers through a building is truly the smartest way to move people.
With the Schindler PORT universal card reader, a rider simply swipes a personal access card at the Schindler PORT terminal for an elevator car to be immediately assigned with an approved destination.
A new standard LCD destination indicator can display multiple color combinations with as many as two 1” high letter/number combinations. Schindler PORT can also be programmed to display to public visitors only the open floors that are accessed without the use of an access card.
In step with the latest design and tech trends, new Schindler PORT terminals feature touch screens that swipe (not scroll) and come in wall-mounted or pedestal-mounted versions.
Schindler PORT includes a variety of standard graphic platforms that allow for superior flexibility and ease in updating as building requirements change.
With Schindler PORT, a building owner or architect can easily design applications to accommodate a wide range of needs in real time. Whether it’s helping to meet new energy efficiency goals, updating security, scheduling maintenance or adapting to people with special needs, unprecedented levels of customization can be achieved.
Schindler PORT groups passengers by destination to provide the shortest possible trip for every rider, avoiding chaotic elevator runs and random, multiple stops.
Schindler PORT can customize your journey, whether it be a special VIP trip, a streamlining patient transport or allowing for more approach time, longer door opening time or additional space for passengers with special needs.
Floor access is defined by the building management through access cards or smartphones. Schindler PORT can also be integrated with turnstiles to further enhance building security.
Whether it is the first step or only step, Schindler PORT converts conventional elevator controls quickly and easily with minimal downtime. This delivers all the features, functions, and benefits of Schindler PORT including improved performance, access control and personalization.
