Otis Showcases the Power of Connectivity at Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat International Conference

Leaders from Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: OTIS) will share the latest on connected vertical transportation solutions, including how elevators interact with service robots and a preview of what’s next for AI-powered destination dispatching, at the international conference of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) starting today through October 18.

“We look forward to sharing how Otis is embracing the latest technology to advance the industry,” says Otis Asia Pacific President Stéphane de Montlivault. “We are proud to play a vital role in building what is next for urban mobility and making transportation more efficient and more connected than ever before.”

The theme of this year’s conference is “Humanizing High Density” with a focus on the need to make cities human-centric centers that allow populations to thrive. In line with the theme, Otis will present solutions that benefit building owners, facility managers and passengers alike, including:

• The future of vertical transportation in high rise buildings will include the use of an innovative destination dispatch system designed to improve the passenger experience. Soon to be launched in Asia, the Otis Compass® Infinity destination dispatch system uses AI technology to continuously store and predict traffic patterns that dynamically change over time, which can significantly shorten the wait time for passengers. Users can also connect to the system via Bluetooth® technology on their smart phones to automatically be assigned an elevator upon arrival at the building.
   
• Smart screens inside Otis elevator cabs can provide video calls to OTISLINE – a 24/7 customer support network that can accelerate technical support in an emergency and minimize the stress of entrapped passengers.
   
• Hospitals, hospitality, commercial businesses and others turn to service robots to enhance the customer experience, offer safe solutions and improve productivity. Otis Integrated Dispatch ™ (OID), a platform that helps service robots communicate with elevators and reach new heights autonomously, is helping our customers use their service robots more efficiently so they can be more effective at what they do.
   

Otis Senior Director of High Rise Lucien Wedzikowski will speak Monday, October 16, about the evolution of commercial buildings due to a rise in remote and hybrid work that resulted in major population shifts in many regions across the globe.

Nippon Otis President Thibault Lefebure will speak Tuesday, October 17, discussing the benefits of Otis Integrated Dispatch ™.

More than 1,200 delegates from across 50 countries and territories are expected to attend CTBUH’s international conference in Singapore, Oct. 16-18 at Marina Bay Sands. Otis will have a booth on-site, complete with a robot to greet attendees. Conference attendees can visit Otis and get an up-close view of the service robot at booth #9 & 10, Marina Bay Sands, Level 5.
