HIGHLIGHTS
- Building operators use the AdiNexus Industrial IoT Gateway to collect operational data from elevator controllers and connected equipment.
- The gateway connects elevator controllers, drive systems, sensors, and electrical meters into a centralized monitoring platform.
- Multi-protocol connectivity enables data acquisition from different elevator controller and automation systems.
- Edge data processing enables real-time status monitoring, fault detection, local data logging, and communication buffering.
- Secure remote connectivity allows maintenance teams to monitor elevator operation and equipment conditions without continuous physical inspection.
The Challenge – Collecting Data from Elevator Systems
Modern buildings may have multiple elevators operating continuously across different floors and buildings.
Collecting controller data and monitoring elevator conditions can become difficult when equipment is distributed or uses different communication interfaces.
Limited Elevator Status Visibility
Operators may not have centralized access to the operating status of individual elevators.
Delayed Fault Detection
Elevator controller faults and abnormal operating conditions may not be identified immediately.
Distributed Equipment Data
Controller, drive, sensor, and electrical data may remain separated across different systems.
Maintenance Monitoring Challenges
Maintenance teams need historical operating and fault information to identify recurring equipment issues.
Manual Data Collection
Physical inspection and manual recording make continuous elevator monitoring difficult.
Multi-Elevator Monitoring
Monitoring multiple elevators across a building or facility requires a centralized data collection approach.

The Solution – Intelligent Elevator Controller Data Collection
The AdiNexus Industrial IoT Gateway acts as the connectivity layer between elevator controllers, electrical equipment, sensors, and centralized monitoring platforms.
Installed within the elevator control environment or building automation network, it collects controller data and securely transfers relevant information to SCADA, cloud, or other monitoring systems.
Integrated Systems
AdiNexus can connect with:
- Elevator controllers
- PLC-based elevator control systems
- Variable frequency drives
- Energy meters
- Door control systems
- Safety and status sensors
- Building management systems
Supports Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, and other supported industrial communication interfaces for multi-vendor connectivity.
Real-Time Monitoring & Alerts
Operators can monitor:
- Elevator running status
