Visual Flow

Each node represents an automated step. Connections show how data and decisions move through the workflow.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Detailed explanation of each automated stage in the workflow.

  1. 1
    Trigger

    Receive emergency signal

    Emergency alarm, entrapment notification, or critical fault code is automatically detected from building management system or elevator monitoring. Signal includes elevator ID, location, and fault type.

  2. 2
    Action

    Validate emergency status

    System cross-references alarm data with elevator status history and building occupancy to confirm genuine emergency. False alarms are filtered out automatically.

  3. 3
    Decision

    Classify emergency priority

    AI analyzes fault codes, entrapment indicators, and building type to determine if this is life-safety critical or standard emergency. Life-safety issues get immediate priority routing.

  4. 4
    Action

    Identify available technicians

    System queries technician schedules, locations, certifications, and current assignments to find qualified emergency responders. GPS tracking shows nearest available certified tech.

  5. 5
    Action

    Auto-dispatch emergency team

    Automatically assigns closest certified technician and creates emergency work order with all relevant elevator data, building access codes, and emergency protocols. Backup technician is also notified.

  6. 6
    Action

    Coordinate emergency response

    Real-time updates are sent to building management, emergency contacts, and dispatched technicians. System monitors technician ETA and escalates if response time exceeds thresholds.

  7. 7
    Output

    Generate emergency documentation

    Complete incident report is automatically generated with timestamps, response times, actions taken, and compliance documentation. Emergency response metrics are updated in real-time dashboards.

Outputs

  • Emergency work order with technician assignment
  • Real-time incident status updates
  • Automated emergency response documentation

Key Metrics

  • Emergency response time
  • First-call resolution rate
