In cities with heavy pedestrian traffic, escalators and autowalks are indispensable. Senior citizens and the physically-challenged, in particular, have increasing needs for effective elevator design - especially in public facilities and transit systems such as subway and train station buildings. Fujitec is proud to provide escalators and autowalks that offer a reliable, smooth ride while contributing to a comfortable city life. In order to provide people-moving systems that are comfortable to everybody, Fujitec has developed a wheelchair-accessible escalator that allows both general passengers and wheelchair users to ride the escalator at the same time. In addition, our GS8000 escalators not only have reduced production and installation hours, but they also have enhanced safety and comfort. They are thus recommended as an ideal people-moving system. 9 The Vancouver International Airport - Canada The airport is served by 34 escalators, 15 autowalks, and 42 elevators. ⑤ ⑥ ① ⑦ ② ⑧ ③ ⑨ ④ ① J.F.

Making the most out of leadingedge technologies from a wide variety of fields of study, we produce products which are friendly to users and enhances the transportation needs of cities. NEUROS - Revolutionary Group Supervisory Control system using a neuro-computer NEUROS, which models the human brain, is a revolutionary group supervisory control system that efficiently controls elevators while autonomously learning and judging traffic status. Adoption of a neuro-computer with a self-learning function for group supervisory control enables modification of programs to achieve optimal control even if the computer encounters unexpected traffic situations. By applying neuro-technology, Fujitec succeeded in drastically cutting average waiting times as compared with conventional fuzzy control systems. While more and more high-rises are being built, the Fujitec NEUROS system further enhances the potential of elevators. With the catchphrase "Eco-friendly," Fujitec commits itself to preserving the environment. Fujitec's "Green" Elevators Give Serious Consideration to the Global Environment Fujitec has continued to push ahead with its development of the "Green" Elevator. Fujitec utilizes state-of-the-art technologies while reducing damage to the global environment and conserving the world's energy and resources. This is exemplified by the world's first power regenerated motor. Power generated at the time of brake application during elevator ascent and descent is stored for future use. New Double-Deck Elevator FLEX-DD Unlike conventional double-deck elevators with a fixed distance between the upper and lower cabs, our new double-deck elevator FLEX-DD automatically adjusts the distance between the upper and lower cabs according to the floor-to-floor distances within a building. The elevator employs a motor-driven jack that enables flexible adjustment of the distance between the cabs and displays this strong advantage in super high-rise buildings. Elevator Network Monitoring System - Elevator operation controlled by a LAN system Fujitec developed the world's first "Elevator Network Monitoring System" allowing remote monitoring of elevators. The system outputs various commands by way of a LAN from an office computer. Change of elevator operation patterns can be readily made from a personal computer. The system monitors the whole building system in combination with air-conditioning systems and building security systems. Its advanced features and functions have received very favorable evaluations. AUVIS - Elevator Multi-Informational AV System AUVIS is a system that provides audio and visual information inside the elevator. In response to elevator movements, well-timed messages can be delivered. AUVIS is recommended to commercial facilities as a means of providing timely commercial messages, emergency messages in case of fire, etc. The product is aesthetically pleasing and improves elevator environment. New-Generation Elevator Drive System TALON Drive The TALON Drive is a revolutionary elevator drive system that has drastically changed the concept of the conventional 100 -year-old traction sheave system used in roped elevator drive systems. The Talon system drives the elevator car up and down, without regard to car weight, by pressing the belt against the ropes passed over a sheave. This new drive system helps Fujitec create “the world's most earth-freiendly elevators”that save energy, space and resources. Linear Motor Elevator - The next generation of ropeless people-moving systems Drawing keen attention as the next generation of elevators, Fujitec's Linear Elevator, is ideal for ultra super high-rises and deep underground development projects. It is indeed an epoch-making, people-moving system that uses a linear synchronous motor to drive elevators upward and downward without using ropes. The unit of a linear elevator travels independently, enabling multiple units to travel on the same path. Furthermore, flexible transportation, which allows one unit to pass another unit, is ensured by providing branch and join devices on the path. Fujitec was the world's first manufacturer to successfully perform a demonstrative test of a linear elevator and continues research and development for practical use of this system. 14 Production System, Quality Control & Pursuit of Precision Ensure Reliability.
