Description
- The present invention generally relates to a system and a method for monitoring at least one elevator.
- The majority of the 12 million elevators operating around the world are not equipped with modern sensor technology. The latter is a prerequisite to enable elevator health-based efficient operations, utilization analysis and predictive maintenance. Retrofitting older elevators with modern sensor technology for utilization and health status monitoring is costly and time consuming, and therefore rarely done in practice. Operators of elevators are therefore facing tremendous operation costs (e.g. for fixed schedule maintenance) compared to what would be feasible with modern monitoring technology.
- The issue is usually solved by retrofitting or exchanging old systems by ones that are equipped with modern sensor technology from the elevator OEM. Therefore, remote monitoring of utilization and health status is only used to greenfield installations of new elevators with dedicated sensor technology and to modernization projects where old equipment is replaced at the end of life or to retrofits. Old legacy equipment, which however forms most of the installed base, is not remotely monitored regarding the utilization and health status of elevators.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a cost saving system and method for monitoring and/or assessing the status and/or utilization of an elevator. According to a first aspect, the invention provides a system comprising an elevator monitoring device for monitoring at least one elevator operatively coupled to at least one motor which is operatively connected to at least one power meter; wherein the elevator monitoring device is configured to receive, from the power meter, data regarding the at least one motor collected by the power meter,
wherein the elevator monitoring device is further configured to pre-process the data collected by the power meter (thus generating pre-processed data), and
wherein the elevator monitoring device further comprises a machine learning model using an analytical algorithm for monitoring and/or assessing a status and/or a utilization of the elevator (or, in other words, for monitoring and/or assessing a state of operation of the elevator) based on the pre-processed data). - The elevator monitoring device may be realised as any device, or any means, for computing, in particular for executing a software, an app, or an algorithm. For example, the computing device may comprise a central processing unit (CPU) and a memory operatively connected to the CPU. The computing device may also comprise an array of CPUs, an array of graphical processing units (GPUs), at least one application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), at least one field-programmable gate array, or any combination of the foregoing. The elevator monitoring device may comprise at least one module which in turn may comprise software and/or hardware. Some, or even all, modules of the elevator monitoring device may be implemented by a cloud computing platform.
- The system may, apart from the elevator monitoring device, further comprise (but does not necessarily have to comprise) the power meter configured to collect data regarding the operation of the at least one motor, in particular data about the power consumption of the at least one motor. The term "at least one motor" may comprise at least one motor configured and arranged for moving the elevator up and/or down, at least one motor configured and arranged for opening doors of the elevator and/or at least one motor configured and arranged for closing the doors of the elevator.
- The system may (but does not have to) further comprise the elevator and/or the at least one motor operatively coupled to the elevator.
- Preferably, the analytical algorithm is based on any supervised learning approach, and more preferably comprises, or consists of, a classification algorithm like xgboost or random forest and/or a deep neural network (such as a convolutional neural network and/or a recurrent neural network).
- In an advantageous embodiment or refinement, the system comprises the elevator, and the elevator monitoring device is located close to the elevator on an edge device or remotely. When the elevator monitoring device is located remotely from the elevator, it may be located at least partially, or completely, in a cloud computing platform and/or partially, or completely, in an elevator monitoring center. The elevator monitoring center may comprise an elevator monitoring device for each of a plurality of elevators (or more precisely: motors of elevators), or it may comprise on elevator monitoring device for all of the plurality of elevators. Advantageously, the elevator monitoring device is distributed between a local device (e.g. a microcontroller, an application-specific integrated circuit, ASIC, a field-programmable gate array, FPGA, and/or the like), or a local module, located close to the elevator and a remote device (e.g. a microcontroller, an application-specific integrated circuit, ASIC, a field-programmable gate array, FPGA, and/or the like), or remote module. In this way, the computing resources of any remote device or remote module may be exploited.
- In a preferred embodiment or refinement, the power meter is configured to collect the data by measuring at least one power quantity (such as current, voltage, frequency, power factor, active, reactive and apparent power in all employed phases) of the at least one motor, preferably with a temporal measurement resolution of at least 5 Hz, preferably in the range of from 5 Hz to 50 Hz. The inventors have found that such a temporal resolution produces the best suitable data for the applications as described herein.
- In a further embodiment, the data collected, preferably measured, by the power meter are provided as a time series of sensor signals indicative of a usage of the elevator. The time series is advantageously segmented into (time) windows which may be overlapping or strictly separate. For the training data, the time series is divided into windows which are then labelled with labels, in particular with event descriptors such as door opening and closing, elevator riding up/down events, number of floors travelled per ride, elevator load per ride (for example number of passengers and/or total weight of the load), etc. These labels enable training the machine learning model to generate key performance indicators (KPIs)
- According to another aspect, the invention thus also provides a method for training a machine learning model (in particular a machine learning model of an elevator monitoring device), comprising: collecting data regarding power consumption of at least one elevator by at least one power meter, wherein the data are provided as a time series of sensor signals (events); dividing the time series of sensor signals (events) into windows; labelling the windows with event descriptors; and training a machine learning model in supervised training based on the labelled data (or, in other words: the labelled time series).
- Preferably, the machine learning model is a machine learning model trained with pre-processed data. Thus, the method for training a machine learning model may further comprise a step of pre-processing the data collected by the at least one power meter, wherein pre-processing may be performed before or after labelling, and wherein training of the machine learning model is performed using the labelled pre-processed (or: pre-processed labelled) data.
- Pre-processing of the training data may include data cleansing such as filling up of missing values and/or resampling of the raw data to equidistant data. Advantageously, said data cleansing is also applied in the deployment phase. For the training of the machine learning model, the data of a limited number of elevators can be used as a training set.
- In a further embodiment, the system comprises an acceleration sensor configured for collecting rotational and/or vibration data, wherein said collected rotational and/or vibration data is preferably used for the calibration of the machine learning model.

Fig. 1 shows a general overview of asystem 100 for data analytics of the status and/or utilization of at least oneelevator 200. Thesystem 100 comprises anelevator monitoring device 300 which will be described in the following. Theelevator monitoring device 300 itself may be provided according to an embodiment of the sixth aspect of the present invention. - The
elevator 200 in this embodiment is operatively coupled to at least onemotor 240, for example one motor for moving the elevator up and/or down, one motor for opening doors and one motor for closing doors and/or the like. At least onefeeder 220 is arranged for the power supply of the at least onemotor 240. Each of the at least onemotor 240 may be provided with itsown feeder 220, or all of themotors 240 may be provided with one and thesame feeder 220. - Additionally, at least one
power meter 260 is provided and operatively connected to the at least one motor 240 (and/or the at least one feeder 220) for collecting data from the at least one motor 240 (and/or directly from the at least one feeder 220), in particular for measuring at least one electrical power quantity of the at least one 240, for example a current, voltage, frequency, power factor, active, reactive and apparent power in all employed phases. Onepower meter 260 may be provided for all of the at least onefeeder 220, or onemeter 260 for each of the at least onefeeder 220 may be provided. - The at least one
power meter 260 can advantageously be installed retroactively at the at least onefeeder 220 of a built-inelevator 200. The power meter (or "smart meter") 260 is placed at thefeeder 220 of amotor 240 for the collection ofdata 400, which helps in early detection of various failure modes of theelevator 200. However, additional local devices and sensors can be added to theelevator 200. For example, acceleration sensors can be placed inside of theelevator 200 to capture rotational and/or vibration data which help in early detection of various failure modes encountered in mechanical equipment. - In the following, for the sake of simplicity, explanations of details and optional refinements will be given with respect to a
single power meter 260 connected between asingle motor 240 and asingle feeder 220 for that motor. However, it will be readily understood that the same concepts apply also to any of the above-described variants withmultiple motors 240,multiple power meters 260 and/ormultiple feeder 220. - The
power meter 260 measures power quantities such as current, voltage, frequency, power factor, active, reactive and/or apparent power in all employed phases and provides them asdata 400. Advantageously, the measurement resolution is larger than 5 Hz, preferably in the range of 5Hz to 50Hz, so that a high temporal resolution is given. - The
data 400 which are collected by thepower meter 260 can refer to (and be indicative of) events such as door opening and closing events, elevator riding up/down events, time that theelevator 200 is idle, number of floors travelled per ride, elevator load (such as number of passengers per ride and/or total weight of load) and/or a distance that the elevator cable has covered which is typically measured in kilometers. - The
data 400 are transferred from thepower meter 260 to the elevator monitoring device (which may also be designated as an "analytical unit") 300. Theelevator monitoring device 300 in some embodiments or refinements constantly analyses the data stream 400 ("real time mode") and identifies a set of predefined events that are known to provide useful information about the usage of theelevator 200. Such an analysis can be conducted in real time but also subsequently such as in batch mode, for example once an hour. Theelevator monitoring device 300 learns to identify predefined events by using artificial intelligence (AI). A supervisedmachine learning model 500 is trained on a training set ofdata 400 of annotated elevator rides. - While the
smart meter 240 is typically deployed directly at theelevator motor feeder 240 and/or theelevator motor 220, theelevator monitoring device 300 can either be located close to theelevator 200 on an edge device or remotely such as in a cloud computing platform, for example a cloud-based service like Siemens Mindsphere (registered trademark). - A third option are hybrid solutions in which the
elevator monitoring device 300 is distributed (or: divided) between a local module close to the elevator 200 (e.g. used for implementing a data pre-processing unit performing a data pre-processing and/or some preliminary feature calculation) and a remote module on which themachine learning model 500 is running on precalculated features for the calculation of relevant key performance indicators (KPIs). - This hybrid approach can significantly reduce the amount of
data 400 that has to be transferred over a wide area connection - such as the Internet - between the location of the at least oneelevator 200 and theelevator monitoring device 300. In the first two cases all raw power measurements (i.e. raw data 400) are transferred from thepower meter 240 to the elevator monitoring device 300 (e.g. in the cloud) while in the hybrid approach preferably only the pre-processed data, for example precalculated features, are transferred to theelevator monitoring device 300. - As shown in
Fig. 2 , thedata 400 collected by the power meter is provided as atime series 600. For the training dataset for training the machine learning model, thetime series 600 is segmented (e.g. by an expert) intowindows 650 that are labelled with a corresponding event descriptor such as door opening and closing, elevator riding up/down events, number of floors travelled per ride, elevator load such as number of passengers per ride, etc. For the training of themachine learning model 500 it is typically sufficient to acquire and annotate data from a few days or one week of elevator usage (depending on the defined usage event). - The
data 400 labelling process can be carried out by a human domain expert that is manually segmenting thedata 400 of atime series 600 into therespective event windows 650. The labelling process can be supported by a low-level automated method using a set of threshold-based rules followed by a domain-expert validation of the segmentation proposal. - In a next step, which is advantageously performed in the training phase and optionally in the deployment (or inference) phase, the labelled
data 400 are pre-processed which may include data cleansing steps on time series data like filling up of missing values and resampling of the raw time series data to equidistant data. In the deployment phase, where thepower meter 260 will usually provide non-windowed raw data, the pre-processing step may optionally comprise windowing i.e. splitting up thetime series 600 received from thepower meter 260 in a sequence of overlapping or nonoverlapping chunks of data, with the size of thewindow 650 and/or the delta between consecutive windows as configurable parameters. However, thesystem 100 advantageously does not require domain specific pre-processing steps and is transferrable to other technical types ofsmart meters 260 orelevators 200 without, or with small, adaptations. - The
machine learning model 500 is trained on thepre-processed data 400. Eachwindow 650 of atime series 600 is processed by an algorithm (A) that estimates the most probable event for a givenwindow 650. The parameters of themachine learning model 500 can be optimized based on a detection error between the prediction or classification and the label until a sufficient performance index is reached. - For the algorithm it is possible to use classification algorithms like xgboost or random forest. Such algorithms typically require the windowed data to be transformed into a set of informative and non-redundant features to facilitate the subsequent learning. Other algorithms like (deep) neural networks, especially convolutional neural networks, can be trained directly on the raw window data. A deep neural network denotes a class of artificial neural networks that have a plurality of hidden layers between the input layer and the output layer. Such a model is able to process raw data without prior time consuming feature engineering. A further alternative option for the
machine learning model 500 is an unsupervised segmentation approach that divides thetime series 600 into segments and assigns each segment to a particular sensor signal (event). - After the
machine learning model 500 has been trained with the annotateddata set 400 and the classification performance is sufficient (which may be determined using a test data set), and optionally after a calibration and setup phase, themachine learning model 500 can be deployed (optionally together with thepower meter 260 if it is not already present) even at a formerlyunknown elevator 200 from which nodata 400 was used during the training. - During the operation phase of the
machine learning model 500 relevant elevator operation key performance indicators (KPIs) are calculated, of which a few are discussed exemplarily in the following: the number of door openings/closings and total ride length are calculated from the sequence of elevator operation events. The sequence of elevator operations is classified into segments. The KPI "number of door openings/closings" can be directly calculated from the respective segments. The calculation of each ride length is done based on the length of the "elevator riding up" segments and "elevator riding down" segments and a physical model of the elevator acceleration and breaking using the characteristic acceleration and breaking parameters from the elevator specification/setting. - Alternatively, the length of the rides can be determined by applying a trained ride length model on features calculated from the "ride up" or "ride down" segments. Failures can be identified using the domain knowledge like the time required for door closing or door opening and the allowed sequence of events, for example an
elevator 200 can only ride after the door has closed, or a door can only be opened again after having been opened before when it has been closed in between. - The present invention allows for low-cost monitoring and/or assessing of the utilization and/or health status of an
elevator 200 by attaching apower meter 260 to a motor 240 (in particular to afeeder 220 of a motor 240) of an installedelevator 200 and by analyzing thepower meter data 400 by usingmachine learning models 500 in aelevator monitoring device 300. Additional sensors and costly retrofits of theelevator 200 are not required. Therefore, there is no new certification of the elevator system by approving authorities required. Due to the usage of artificial intelligence, manual adjustments to thesystem 100 when deployed to a new site are reduced to a minimum. - The
elevator monitoring device 300 may further comprise an analysis module configured to compare KPIs (or predictions) of themachine learning model 500, in particular of the analytical algorithm, to expectations and/or subject them to predefined rules about "suspicious" or "faulty" behavior. - For example, the
machine learning model 500 may predict theelevator 200 to be moving up after a predicted "doors open" event that has, however, not yet been followed by a predicted "doors close" event. One of the predefined rules may dictate that the elevator must not move without each "doors open" event having been followed by a "doors close" event, or, in simple terms, that the elevator must not move with open doors. - The results of the analysis module may be output in a monitoring signal. The monitoring signal may be used, for example, to control or feed an elevator KPI dashboard which may be displayed by an optional display device of the
system 100. Such an elevator KPI dashboard may receive, and illustrate, a plurality of monitoring signals from a plurality ofelevator monitoring devices 300 monitoring a plurality ofelevators 200 at a plurality of sites. - The cost advantage of the proposed solution is realized by attaching (if it did not previously exist) a
power meter 260 to thefeeder 220 of anelevator 200 without changes to the elevator core system and calculating relevant elevator monitoring KPIs like the number of door openings/closings and the total ride length by applying trainedmachine learning models 500 to thedata 400 measured by thepower meter 260. According to some advantageous embodiments of the present invention, amachine learning model 500 is trained and applied totime series data 400 from apower meter 260 attached to anelevator 200 in order to generate a sequence of elevator operation events from which relevant elevator monitoring KPIs like the number of door openings/closings and the total ride length can be calculated. Themachine learning model 500 typically involves a classification or segmentation approach. - In
Fig. 3 , processing steps of a method according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention are illustrated schematically. The method may be performed advantageously using thesystem 100 as described in the foregoing, or any other system according to any embodiment of the first aspect of the invention. Method according to embodiments of the second aspect of the invention may be adapted, modified and refined according to any options, modifications and refinements as described with respect to any embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention and vice versa. - In a step S100,
data 400 are collected by thepower meter 260, in particular by measuring at least one power quantity (such as current, voltage, frequency, power factor, active, reactive and apparent power in all employed phases) related to at least onemotor 240 of anelevator 200, in particular by measuring at afeeder 220 of said at least onemotor 240. - In a step S200, the
data 400 are transferred to anelevator monitoring device 300 and pre-processed therein. As has been discussed in the foregoing, the pre-processing in step S200 may comprise data cleansing, windowing and/or feature precalculation. - In a step S300, a
machine learning model 500 comprising an algorithm is used (preferably by the elevator monitoring device 300) for thedata 400 for monitoring and/or assessing the status and utilization of theelevator 200. To that end, the predictions of themachine learning model 500, in particular of the analytical algorithm, may be compared to expectations and/or be subject to predefined rules about "suspicious" or "faulty" behavior. - The predictions of the
machine learning model 500 and/or the results of the application of the predefined rules to said predictions may be output in a monitoring signal. The monitoring signal may be used, for example, to control or feed an elevator KPI dashboard which may be display by a display device. -
Fig. 4 schematically illustrates acomputer program product 700 comprisingexecutable program code 750 configured to, when executed, perform a method according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention.Fig. 4 may also be used to illustrate a non-transitory, computer-readable data storage medium comprising executable program code configured to, when executed, perform a method according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention. - The
system 100 makes it possible to monitor and/or assess the utilization and/or health status of anelevator 200 by evaluating thetime series 600 of electrical power quantities of theelevator 200 in all electrical phases employed. Thesystem 100 makes use of artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically identify patterns in thetime series data 400, thereby reducing the manual effort needed for installation and maintenance. As thesystem 100 only requiresinput data 400 that can be drawn directly from apower meter 260, it can be used without the need of additional and potentially expensive sensors. During training, themachine learning model 500 may be trained withdata 400 from a limited number ofelevators 200 of e.g. a type A, and this trainedmachine learning model 500 can then be deployed forfurther elevators 200 of a different types such as type B in the deployment phase. -
