Schindler warns of elevator blackouts: This is how passengers remain safe!

Fireworld, Österreich - On May 2, 2025, Schindler Aufzüge AG reinforced its strategy for prevention against potential blackouts. The concern about power failures caused by network overloads or cyber attacks increases. Such short -term interruptions can be extremely risky for passengers in elevators, since self -exemptions are often life -threatening.

The technical solutions that are available for safe and automatic evacuation during a power failure are already available. Schindler recommends the installation of automatic evacuation systems for new systems and also offers the possibility of retrofitting with existing and foreign systems. The advantages of these systems are diverse: they enable quick, safe and stress -free evacuation of passengers.

When a power failure occurs, the elevator system stops and stops in the shaft. After a few seconds, the system initiates a slow drive to the next floor, where the cabin opens and the passengers can get out safely. During this time, the emergency center remains available and the emergency light works for up to an hour. Ventilation openings in the cabin also ensure respectable basic care during a failure.

difficulties in crisis situations

The challenges that a blackout brings with it are considerable. In order to be adequately prepared, an investment in the retrofitting of elevator systems is advised. This is reflected in the broader context of the Emergency and crisis management , which includes concepts for problem solving in critical situations. According to the Wikipedia page, this management deals with prevention, handling and management of problems in emergencies, crises and disasters.

Effective crisis management requires an interdisciplinary approach and involves scientific and social science perspectives. The planning, evaluation and implementation of measures for safety in emergencies is crucial. The findings from crisis research can be of great benefit to individuals, institutions and companies, especially with regard to the preparation for potential disasters and their effective coping.

In a globalized world, where technologies and infrastructures are increasingly susceptible, it is essential for companies and authorities to continuously evaluate and improve their emergency and crisis management practices. With its innovative solutions to the safety of passengers, the Schindler Aufzüge AG contributes to how important proactive measures are in danger.
