Gen2
™
Elevator System: The first major breakthrough in elevator lifting
technology in nearly 150 years. Gen2, an elevator system for low- and mid-
rise buildings, is the first to use flat coated steel belts to lift the elevator cars.
The belts are 1 in. (25 mm) wide and 0.1 in. (2.5 mm) thick, quieter, lighter,
easily bend around a 4 in. (101 mm) diameter sheave, and last up to two to
three times longer than traditional steel ropes. That means the Gen2 system
requires a machine one-quarter the size of a traditional machine, eliminating
the need for a separate machine room.

Otis is focused on advanced technology that will improve its operations and products
in three key areas: quality, efficiency, and safety. For example:
Otis dispatching technology improves service dramatically by analyzing and
adapting to a building’s traffic pattern, then assigning elevators to respond to
variations in passenger traffic within the building. This is critical to an
integrated building transit system because traffic patterns in the buildings of
the future will be more complex than in today’s buildings.
Otis engineers are also designing sophisticated remote elevator monitoring
systems. The more closely an elevator is monitored, the easier it can be
maintained with fewer costly shutdowns.
