ibex is an intelligent sway monitoring system designed to protect elevator operations during high-motion events.

 

ibex alerts elevator controllers when sway levels approach thresholds that could impact hoist way cables, triggering automated responses such as reducing elevator speed, restricting service zones or parking cars in safe locations until conditions normalize.

​

Why is it important?

​

Building sway during high winds can cause elevator cables to swing around in their hoist ways, resulting in unwanted impacts with other elevator equipment. ibex helps protect elevators from damage and prevent costly downtime and repairs maintain good vertical transport service on windy days and provide uninterrupted elevator service to tenants and visitors.
