Smart Elevators and Video Analytics to Shape Housing Trends in 3-5 Years

YEKATERINBURG, October 2. /TASS/. Smart elevator systems, camera video analytics, and keyless apartment access will become key housing trends over the next 3 - 5 years, Irina Korsun, Director of Digital Developer company, said at the 100+ TechnoBuild International Construction Forum.

"Video analytics - not just video surveillance, but specifically analyzing everything the cameras see to detect potentially dangerous situations and locate forgotten items. Predictive maintenance - forecasting what will break and fixing it in advance, so residents don't even have to submit any requests. Finally, smart elevators - this is a rather expensive case but the format itself is combined with keyless access, where you don't touch anything and the elevator recognizes you via a tag or your phone, immediately arrives, and takes you where you need to go," she said. These are the primary areas developers highlight for development and rollout over a 3-to-5-year timeframe.

The expert also mentioned the installation of electric vehicle charging systems in parking lots and the expansion of "smart" apartments functionalities as promising areas.

The 100+ TechnoBuild International Construction Forum is being held in Yekaterinburg from September 29 to October 2. TASS is the information partner of the event.
