With its autonomous and self-climbing robot, this prototype
solution allows the safe and high-quality installation of elevators,
and is ideally suited for use in high-rise buildings.

"We are proud to introduce this innovative robotics system which
provides a new level of worker safety and helps to improve quality,"
said Karl-Heinz Bauer, Chief Technology Officer, Schindler Group.
"This is another example of Schindler's commitment to providing
digital and urban mobility solutions to shape smart cities of the
future."

The innovative technology was recently used to install several
elevators in commercial complexes and tall residential buildings in
Europe.

R.I.S.E is developed to eliminate the repetitive, physically
demanding work of drilling multiple holes in concrete walls, to set
anchor bolts that give greater precision when installing guide rails
and to reduce safety risks significantly in demanding working
conditions.

Schindler is a pioneer in elevator technology with a long
tradition of developing innovative mobility solutions, including the
first-ever patent for elevators without a machine room.

Research partnership with CTBUH

Schindler and the Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat
(CTBUH) have signed a two-year partnership agreement, focusing on
research into robotics and automation processes in the construction
of tall buildings. CTBUH is a non-profit organization that
facilitates the exchange of knowledge on tall buildings.

The research will enable academic and industry experts to explore
together with Schindler researchers the application of robotic
technologies - used in R.I.S.E - to enhance the quality and speed of
construction while maintaining safety on sites.

R.I.S.E is on display at the CTBUH 2018 conference in Dubai from
October 21- 25, 2018, along with several of Schindler's innovative
offerings that bring mobility solutions to urban cities.
