In our increasingly fast-paced and dynamic world, proactive maintenance is a powerful strategy that can position a business above its competition and provide stability, especially amidst the challenges of the year’s final and often busiest quarter. As the Ber months roll in and the Christmas season approaches, the sooner the better for businesses to invest in facility management plans that can help them maximize their building technologies.

As a seasoned global leader in reliable building solutions, Mitsubishi Electric is a committed advocate of proactive maintenance. Learn how International Elevator & Equipment, Inc. (IEE) provides both world-trusted building technologies and comprehensive support services beyond product installation.

Reimagining Building System Maintenance

Elevators today are a crucial fixture in most urban spaces, seamlessly transporting countless people within various types of establishments, adding not only ease and convenience, but also accessibility, safety, and speedy mobility—all of which benefit both a business’s clientele and staff. Hence, regular elevator maintenance is an absolute must, as issues and failures can seriously impact the customer experience as well as operational efficiency.

Recognizing this, Mitsubishi Electric set out to reinvent and revolutionize elevator maintenance with M’s BRIDGE, a remote service that combines human expertise, comprehensive data analyses, and a powerful global network to deliver timely, top-notch maintenance for our elevators. True to its purpose of minimizing risk and maximizing convenience, M’s BRIDGE provides continuous, round-the-clock monitoring of units and utilizes the information collected to identify and determine fixes for any issues that may arise. This cutting-edge innovation ensures that business runs smoothly and successfully, unhindered by unexpected elevator breakdowns that can lead to expensive repairs and replacements, and, potentially, profit losses.

In addition to M’s BRIDGE, Mitsubishi Electric also created MelEye, an advanced monitoring system that leverages web-based technologies to reliably monitor a building’s vertical transport infrastructure, such as its elevators and escalators. With real-time status updates, the MelEye system can aid building managers in detecting faults in unit operations, enabling them to act fast and prevent prolonged downtime.

Smart Design with Ease of Maintenance in Mind

The stability and reliability of a building’s systems can largely depend on the technologies’ workings, and investing in solutions that are intentionally designed to support proactive maintenance can go a long way.

One example of such products is Mitsubishi Electric’s U Series Escalator. Equipped with preventive maintenance technology, U Series escalators feature a built-in fault indicator, which displays informed diagnoses of the unit’s condition, indicating which service parts may soon require replacement and where issues are located. With this innovative technology, technicians can attend to the unit’s maintenance needs with enhanced efficiency, decreasing downtime and supporting business continuity.

Investing in easy-to-maintain heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HVAC) can also significantly reduce inconveniences for one’s business. Mitsubishi Electric’s VRF City Multi Systems, for instance, are thoughtfully designed so that even if one unit is shut off for repair, other indoor units can continue to operate. On the other hand, outdoor units can be operated with just a single compressor, minimizing the piping work and components needed for maintenance.

Additionally, our Lossnay ventilators are built with dual barrier coated blades, doubling the fan’s protection against dirt buildup and lowering the required maintenance frequency—ultimately lessening downtime.

Continuous Business Operations with Building Innovations

While investing in high-quality building technologies is one of the crucial first steps to successful operations, what follows should be an effective proactive maintenance program that can prevent costly, untimely repairs and replacements, helping secure business continuity all year round. Mitsubishi Electric leads the way in the creation of various smart technologies that support robust proactive maintenance routines. Our products are intuitively designed to help building managers and operators stay ahead of any maintenance needs—ensuring uninterrupted productivity and a safe, smooth customer experience like no other.

Beyond these, IEE provides 24/7 after-sales maintenance services backed by expert technical support from the Mitsubishi Information Center (MIC), another step forward in guaranteeing total customer satisfaction and boosting business operations.
