Remote monitoring and diagnostics play a crucial role in ensuring the efficient operation and maintenance of lifts and escalators.
(i) Define “Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics Solution (RM&D)” in the context of lifts and escalators. State the relevant codes/regulations. How do these systems differ from traditional maintenance approaches?
(ii) State the primary objectives of implementing remote monitoring systems for lifts and escalators.
(iii) Review the key components of a remote monitoring system for lifts and escalators and their functions.
(iv) Explain the key advantages/benefits of RM&D for lift systems if RM&D is to be implemented in your chosen building. Take a photograph of the displayed
“Permit to Operate” document from any lift used in the chosen building and include it into your report.
(v) Identify the challenges associated with implementing remote monitoring systems for lifts and/or escalators in your chosen building.
(vi) Provide examples of successful deployments of remote monitoring systems for lifts and/or escalators in Singapore.
Support your findings with properly labelled photographs, sketches, layout plan, etc(if any).
