Elevator Modernization (or Lift Modernisation) is the process of upgrading the critical parts of the elevator in order for it to be able to handle new technology, have better performance, improve safety, and even give the aesthetics an up-to-date appeal
Most elevators are built to provide about 20 years of service, as long as service intervals specified and periodic maintenance/inspections by the manufacturer are followed. As the elevator ages and equipment become increasingly difficult to find or replace, along with code changes and deteriorating ride performance, a complete overhaul of the elevator may be suggested to the building owners.
A typical modernization consists of controller equipment, electrical wiring and buttons, position indicators and direction arrows, hoist machines and motors (including door operators), and sometimes door hanger tracks. Rarely are car slings, rails, or other heavy structures changed. The cost of an elevator modernization can range greatly depending on which type of equipment is to be installed.
Modernization can greatly improve operational reliability by replacing mechanical relays and contacts with solid-state electronics. Ride quality can be improved by replacing motor-generator-based drive designs with Variable-Voltage, Variable Frequency (VVVF) drives, providing near-seamless acceleration and deceleration. Passenger safety is also improved by updating systems and equipment to conform to current codes.

Benefits of elevator modernization
As one of the most important parts on the car, with the development of new LED lighting technology and related products, and the pursuit of higher car lighting quality and safer lighting environment, car owners are now moving towards high brightness and low energy. The consumption, high response, and intelligent development have become more and more abundant. Looking at some new models on the market, in addition to the traditional lighting effects, many of the lights have the functions of automatically adjusting the brightness, adjusting the illumination angle and the distance, greatly improving the driving environment and improving the driving safety. For example, the LED headlights of Dongfeng Peugeot 4008 have intelligent far and near light adjustment function. The light source can be analyzed by the camera arranged above the windshield, and the high beam and low beam lights can be automatically switched according to the lighting and traffic conditions, which not only ensures the safety of the vehicle. It can also give better security to surrounding vehicles. The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class lighting system is more intelligent, and its headlights contain 84 individually controllable LED light sets, which can be adjusted according to the driving environment to reduce the lighting conditions to the car and other The discomfort caused by the driver of the vehicle reduces the incidence of traffic accidents. In addition, there are many cars equipped with similar intelligent lighting systems. However, in China, this kind of intelligent lighting technology is mainly used in B-class cars and C-class cars. Qin Kai, senior research and development manager of Hella Nanjing R&D Center, accepted the Gesta Auto reporter at the 3rd Shanghai International Automobile Lighting Exhibition in 2017. Said in the interview. He said that because the domestic new car consumption is currently dominated by A-class vehicles, it is still difficult to equip such a lighting system on A-class vehicles in terms of cost. In addition, there is still a certain gap between domestic car companies and foreign companies in terms of vehicle adaptation. The platformization of foreign auto companies, technical reserves and understanding of such advanced systems are very mature, so that they often use related technologies. The relevant adaptation schemes will soon be developed. However, all LED lights have been used in A-class cars, but they are not intelligent. According to this trend, the smart LED lamp system may be simplified for use in the A-class car in the future. It is understood that this exhibition of light show Shanghai has exhibited four innovative technologies, namely HD84 matrix module, LED intelligent headlights, full LED taillights and laser markings for shielding radar sensors. Among them, HD84 module is a high-definition digital lighting system, which has 84 LEDs distributed in matrix, which can adjust the distribution of light distribution required for different traffic conditions, weather conditions and road conditions. For example, when other vehicles enter the light distribution area of ​​the vehicle light, the module selectively selectively masks the area where the other vehicle is located to prevent glare. At the same time, for the lighting of highways and traffic signs, the glare of wet roads in bad weather, etc., HD84 headlights have corresponding lighting schemes. In the past two years, this matrix-style dazzling high beam has become the focus of hot debate in the industry. Many European models use this technology. In China, due to the development and innovation of China's LED lamp technology, it is faster than foreign countries. Domestic OEMs have become more and more accepting of this technology. For example, Geely and Chery have already cooperated with us. Qin Kai said .
