A seamless business operation entails elevators gliding smoothly between floors, air conditioning systems maintaining perfect temperatures, and escalators keeping foot traffic flowing effortlessly. This level of reliability does not happen by chance; it results from careful, proactive maintenance.

Preventive maintenance boosts the performance and longevity of building systems that directly impact the long-term success of the establishments that rely on them. At the International Elevator & Equipment, Inc. (IEE), we fully utilize our preventive maintenance strategies for the reliability and sustainability of our building solutions. This is how we ultimately support the longevity of our systems and the businesses they serve. Our approach ensures that every component of your building operates at its highest potential while contributing to a more efficient and effective work and establishment environment.

The value of preventive maintenance

Preventive maintenance is the key to ensuring that building systems function optimally. It helps avoid costly disruptions and extends the life of vital equipment by anticipating potential issues and addressing them before they become critical.

When building systems operate efficiently, the entire establishment benefits. This is why preventive maintenance goes beyond keeping machines running—it is about safeguarding the establishment's longevity and business continuity. An investment in preventive maintenance is an investment in the future success of your operations, ensuring that systems work harmoniously to support your goals.

Benefits of preventive maintenance

Preventive maintenance provides numerous advantages that directly impact system reliability and business operations. These benefits ensure that systems remain efficient and cost-effective for the long term.

For building solutions

Reduced downtime - Preventive maintenance helps us identify and address potential issues before they lead to equipment failures. This minimizes system downtime and ensures that building technologies and systems continuously operate without unexpected interruptions.

Extended equipment lifespan - Regular maintenance keeps critical components in optimal condition. With consistent care, building solutions technologies can deliver efficient performance for years and reduce the need for costly replacements.

Increased safety - At IEE, safety is a top priority. Preventive maintenance aids in risk management, thus leading to fewer safety incidents and a more secure environment for our clients and their building occupants.

Improved system reliability - Maintenance improves the building technologies’ operational efficiency and energy consumption. By keeping systems running smoothly, we help reduce energy waste and ensure optimal performance throughout the establishment.

For establishments

Lower operational costs - Well-maintained systems result in fewer emergency repairs, reduced downtime, and improved energy efficiency. All of these contribute to lower operating costs. Preventive maintenance provides businesses with cost savings while ensuring reliable system performance. In the long run, these savings add up and significantly impact your bottom line.

Business continuity - Unexpected equipment failures can cause costly disruptions to operations. Preventive maintenance ensures that your business remains fully operational and avoids revenue losses.

Reputation enhancement - Reliable building systems reflect positively on your business. When elevators, escalators, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems function smoothly, they enhance the experience for employees, tenants, and visitors. In return, these smooth operations boost your establishment's reputation for quality and professionalism.

Compliance and safety standards - By maintaining systems regularly, establishments comply with safety regulations while avoiding potential legal and financial risks. Preventive maintenance ensures that your building’s systems are always up to code, protecting both your business and occupants.

IEE methods for preventive maintenance

We take a proactive approach to our technologies’ preventive maintenance. We combine our expertise with cutting-edge technologies to maximize system performance and longevity. Our data-driven insights, 24/7 service commitment, and enduring client support helps solve problems before they arise.

Data-driven maintenance

We utilize data-driven diagnostics to stay ahead of potential issues. By analyzing our Building Management System’s (BMS) performance in real-time, we can develop tailored predictive maintenance programs that address specific needs.

Real-time data allows us to identify patterns and predict future issues, allowing us to implement proactive interventions that keep your systems in peak condition. This approach helps us identify problems early, prevent costly breakdowns, and guarantee optimal system reliability.

24/7 guaranteed expert assistance

We understand that issues can arise at any time, thus, we offer 24/7 call-back support through our Mitsubishi Information Center (MIC). Clients with concerns, troubles, or encountered emergencies with our building technologies can directly contact the MIC.

In the event of a reported callback, we are committed to responding promptly. If a passenger is trapped in the elevator, our team guarantees arrival within 30 minutes. For other non-emergency issues, we ensure arrival within 60 minutes.

Modernization efforts

When modernization is needed, we upgrade only the components that require improvement and not the entire system. This extends the life of your equipment while boosting safety, performance, and comfort.

Our targeted approach reduces the strain on your building, minimizes downtime, and ensures a smoother, safer ride without the high cost and disruption of a full system replacement. This proactive approach maximizes the value of your initial investment and delays the need for major overhauls.

Global remote support

Through Mitsubishi Electric’s IoT platform, M’s Bridge, we offer global remote maintenance that continuously monitors and analyzes elevator performance. This service provides real-time data analytics for us to perform failure analysis for early recovery and predictive maintenance to attain downtime reduction. With the M’s Bridge, we can also develop tailored maintenance plans based on system data for optimal efficiency and reliability. This cutting-edge platform enhances safety and ensures the elevator’s functionality is at its best through continuous monitoring and inspection.

Propelling long-term reliability

In ensuring an establishment’s sustainability, the longevity and reliability of building systems are essential. At IEE, we recognize that preventive maintenance is not just a necessity but a strategy for success.

As a Building Solutions Concierge, we take pride in being a trusted partner in your journey toward operational excellence. We proactively maintain elevators, escalators, and HVAC systems to keep operations smooth, reduce downtime and costs, and improve safety. Our tailored, data-driven approach maximizes the life of your systems while minimizing disruptions so your business can focus on what matters most: your clients, tenants, and customers.

Mitsubishi Electric’s innovative technologies, coupled with IEE’s commitment to making innovative products accessible, providing expert recommendations, and enabling around-the-clock support, guarantee your establishment helps make the Cities of Tomorrow a reality.
