Two additional Schindler R.I.S.E robots have joined the company’s global fleet, as contractors see increasing value in the hardware, which delivers up to 40%-time savings while improving safety and working conditions inside lift shafts.

With these additions, the company is now operating seven robots worldwide, supporting projects across multiple markets and delivering time savings of up to 40% during elevator shaft preparation and installation.

A critical part of every elevator system is the guide rails. These rails are secured to the shaft walls using brackets, each fixed with multiple anchor bolts.

Schindler R.I.S.E prepares the shaft walls by measuring positions, drilling holes and installing anchor bolts for the guide rails and elevator doors.

Particularly in high-rise buildings, traditionally, installing those bolts has meant weeks of heavy drilling for on-site workers, with the associated vibration, dust exposure and physically demands.

Schindler R.I.S.E was developed to transform this operation, increasing safety, improving efficiency and ensuring consistent, high-quality installation. Rather than replacing human expertise, the system was designed to take over the loud, repetitive and physically strenuous tasks – allowing skilled technicians to focus solely on the outcomes of the work: precision alignment, guide rail installation and overall ride quality.
