Adaptive Elevator System - MetaCore | Schindler Group

Schindler has been engineering smart, sustainable mobility since 1874, keeping cities connected and people moving.

Schindler presents MetaCore, an adaptive elevator system powered by PORT 4D technology that enables one elevator group to serve multiple user profiles—such as office workers, residents, and hotel guests—in the same building. By reconfiguring elevator service logic in real time, MetaCore turns buildings into flexible, multi‑use environments without major physical renovation.

Flexibility by Design
Schindler MetaCore allows building functions to evolve seamlessly by reprogramming elevator grouping logic—rather than rebuilding shafts. This makes it possible for a single elevator group to support different building applications (e.g. office, residential, hospitality), switching configurations instantly to match occupant needs.

Key features:

• Supports mixed-use and repurposing without demolition
• Flexible configuration for different passenger groups
• Customizable in-car experience per user type
• Minimal retrofit required in existing buildings

Sustainable Asset Lifespan
MetaCore extends building longevity and sustainability by avoiding costly demolition and reconstruction. Through simulation tools like Schindler Traffic Vision, owners can plan and deploy reconfigurations that reduce waste, carbon emissions, and lifecycle cost.

Key features:

• Significant resource and carbon savings
• Avoids structural overhaul, preserves elevator shafts
• Planning visualization via traffic simulation
• Lifecycle‑aligned sustainability model

Tailored Passenger Experience
Using PORT 4D and myPORT integration, MetaCore delivers bespoke elevator journeys. The system detects users and directs them to the most appropriate car, while the in-car environment—lighting, audio, display—can adapt per passenger profile for heightened comfort and personalization.

Key features:

• Intelligent group-based car assignment
• Seamless use of PORT and myPORT technologies
• Personalized cabin ambiance per occupant group
• Optimized flow and travel time per user profile

Planning Certainty & Modular Integration
Deploying Schindler MetaCore is guided from design through implementation. Simulation-led planning ensures performance predictability, while modular integration allows easy upgrades in both new and existing buildings.

Key features:

• Traffic Vision simulation for planning confidence
• Rapid reconfiguration achievable at low cost
• Compatible with both new installations and retrofits
• Scalable design for adaptive future use

Schindler MetaCore offers future‑proof flexibility, enabling buildings to evolve along with urban dynamics—without costly construction. It combines intelligent vertical transport, passenger personalization, and sustainable design to support the evolving needs of modern cities and their spaces.
