Layout FI System Maximum in-line arrangement is 4 elevators. Elevators not in the same groups should not be set in the same line. Avoid placing the elevators entrance near pillars. Elevators in the same group with face-to-face arrangement, the distance of facing elevators (L) should be 3.5~4 .5m. Elevators not in the same group with face-to-face arrangement, the distance of facing elevators (L) should be more than 6m. Elevators in the same group is recommended to have the same service floors. Elevators in the same group is recommended to have one base floor instead of having multiple access floors. Implements Group Control in Response to Different Requirements of Different Buildings. A group control system groups multiple elevators for achieving a well-balanced operation by taking waiting times into account. Such a system requires flexibility so that it can be used in various types and sizes of buildings and be responsive to changing traffic demand. Please select the most suitable elevator system for the building you are planning. | FI-600 / FI-700 | FI-100 | FI-10 | | --- | --- | --- | | (3-8 Cars)② | (3-6 Cars) | (3-4 Cars) | | Allows a flexible control for elevator car allocation and the required number of cars according"Human Flow Prediction" and "Future Reference-Trajectory Control" for shortening the average waiting times. | Elevator cars are allocated at equal time intervals according to "Reference-Trajectory Control" for shortening the average waiting times and reducing the probability of a long wait. | Provides a ring control to allocate the elevator car closest to the the floor where a new hall call is registered. | | Basic Specification | Instantaneous reservation and service forecasting | | | |
