New Normal: Limited Elevator Occupancy

Leading health authorities recommend limiting elevator occupancy to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. But elevators were not designed to work efficiently when only 2-4 people can ride them at a time.

Lose-Lose: Overcrowd, or Wait?

Even when an elevator is full, it still stops to pick up new passengers.  When the doors open, the passengers are confronted with two choices: overcrowd the elevator, or wait for the next one.

The Problem: Unnecessary Stops

Overcrowding greatly increases the risk of COVID-19 transmission, but waiting for the next elevator is frustrating and time-consuming. These unnecessary stops lengthen journey times, form a bottleneck at the elevator, and ultimately limit a building's maximum occupancy.

INTRODUCING ABACUS—A SMART SENSOR TO HELP YOU MONITOR AND EFFECTIVELY MANAGE ELEVATOR DENSITY.

The first smart elevator Occupancy sensor

Prevent Unnecessary Stopping

By monitoring the elevator interior and detecting occupancy in real time, Abacus knows when your elevator is full and prevents time-consuming, unnecessary stops—increasing elevator throughput by up to 60%.

Comply with Emerging Regulations

Abacus simplifies compliance with leading health guidelines by activating an express ride when the elevator is at capacity—automatically minimizing opportunities for overcrowding.

Make Informed Decisions

Over time, Abacus gathers rich data, monitors elevator overcrowding, and tracks elevator utilization—helping you manage risk and confidently coordinate tenant re-entry.

How it works

How it works

With Abacus, your elevators gain intelligence, without sacrificing privacy. Our sensor performs all processing on-device to anonymously detect people inside the elevator.
Unlike other people counting solutions, Abacus sees each person as a data point—without storing footage or streaming video to the cloud, preserving the privacy of your passengers.
By counting these data points, Abacus senses how many people are in the elevator in real time. And once the elevator is at capacity, Abacus tells the elevator to drop off those passengers before stopping to pick up new ones—making the elevator safer and faster for your tenants.

Alleviate the Elevator Bottleneck

By preventing unnecessary stops, Abacus restores elevator efficiency that is lost due to the occupancy limit—improving elevator throughput by up to 60%.

Increase Building Occupancy

Abacus not only boosts elevator efficiency, but also monitors elevator utilization and peak times—allowing you to bring more people back without oversaturating your elevators.

Ease Tenant
Worry

With Abacus, elevator rides are shorter and less crowded, reducing health risks when riding the elevator—addressing a key concern discouraging tenants from returning to the building.

The Arrival of Real Time Occupancy Sensing

and What it Means for the Future of the Elevator

Elevators make about 18 billion trips every year in the United States alone. Despite this staggering figure, elevator operation has changed little in over a century. In recent decades, destination dispatch systems have promised to bring about the “smart elevator” and deliver better performance out of the same bank of elevators. However, these systems only improve performance when moving people from the lobby up into the building. In this whitepaper, we explain how occupancy sensing technology enhances elevator efficiency during other peak periods of the day, and why this capability will be essential for high rise buildings in the post-pandemic world.
