The KW-Kalkulator: A Game-Changer for the Elevator Industry

In today’s fast-paced world, efficiency is essential across all industries — especially in the elevator sector, where smart solutions are key. The KW-Kalkulator introduces a powerful new way to configure elevator control systems and operating panels.

Its standout feature: full configuration of elevator controls, panels, and displays from any internet-enabled device. No need to be tied to a desk — engineers and planners can now work from anywhere.

An integrated AI-driven online configurator streamlines the entire process. In just a few steps, users receive a tailored quote based on their project’s requirements — saving valuable time.

The KW-Kalkulator supports a wide range of applications. From hydraulic to rope, chain, and even car elevators, users can configure nearly all drive systems and related components.

It enables input of detailed shaft and control data, cabin and door parameters, as well as drive unit and switch cabinet specifications. The result is a full quote, including cable sizing and power requirements.

A key feature is the selection of operating panels — from standard programs like KV and KB to customized button modules. For inner panels, options include flush, surface-mounted, and desk versions, all mirrored on the exterior panels.

With its intuitive interface, flexibility, and broad range of uses, the KW-Kalkulator sets a new standard in the elevator industry — greatly simplifying life for planners and engineers.
