Schindler Miconic 10 The original destination dispatch systemSchindler Technologies
A quantum leapin elevator service2Schindler Miconic 10
Schindler Miconic 10 is the first system tosuccessfully resolve the two fundamentaluncertainties of elevator group control.When an elevator is called,– How many people are behind that call?– What is each passenger’s destination?Miconic 10 resolves these questions through arevolutionary interface and an advanced algorithm. It represents a quantum leap forward inthe way we use the elevator.Miconic 10’s unique set of benefits includes:– Advance knowledge of every passenger’sdestination before they even reach the elevator,providing real-time data for advance planningof traffic– Reduced passenger journey times duringup-peak traffic of up to 30% againstconventional group control– Elimination of crowding during heavy traffic,avoiding competition by passengers for the firstavailable car– Assurance of a dedicated service for peoplewith special needs — while still providing themost efficient trip– An interface with other building systems, suchas security, to create an integrated operatingenvironment– Greater design flexibility for building coreconfiguration.And Miconic 10 has one other attribute that reallysets these claims apart. It exists, it is available, andit is proven in service.Schindler Miconic 103
The passenger perspectiveSimplicity and reassuranceImmediately on keying her destination at thelobby or landing, she is directed to a speciallyassigned elevator. The journey from then iscompletely automatic.The passenger keys inher destination floor ona familiar telephonestyle keypad, which hasreplaced the customaryUp and Down callbuttons. Immediately,her destination isconfirmed, a car isassigned and the caridentity shown on thedisplay.4Schindler Miconic 10She can walk withouthurrying to the assignedelevator, confident thather car, even if not yetthere, is assuredly onits way and will notdepart before she stepsin. While entering,she checks that herdestination floor is lit onthe indicator set in thecar entrance.Once inside, the doorsclose and the car movesoff to her destinationwithout any furtheraction. She relaxesand enjoys the ride,noticing that the caroperating panel providesonly special serviceoperations.
At her destination,the floor number onthe stop indicator panelconfirms her arrival.She leaves the car,having experiencedan efficient andcomfortable journey.Meeting special needsMiconic 10 incorporates special features toaccommodate people with special needs, and canbe specified to meet or exceed the requirements ofthe Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).– Both visual and audible responses can beprovided.– The elevator assigned will have fewer passengersto allow extra room in the car. Where possible,Miconic 10 will avoid assigning a car with exitingpassengers at the boarding floor.– The doors remain open longer to allow thepassenger extra time to enter and exit the car.– With the ADA-compliant version, mandatory inthe USA, the passenger is guided throughoutthe journey by audible tones. These indicate carassignment and location, as well as the status ofdoors and arrival at the destination floor.To activate features for special needs, passengersfirst press the international wheelchair symbollocated on the keypad.Schindler Miconic 105
A revolution in traffic managementMiconic 10 is a powerful and unique controlsystem based on a simple principle: to bring passengers to their destinations sooner, with lesscrowding and more comfort than any conventional elevator system. Miconic 10’s advancedsoftware drives a powerful logic program thatsystematically rationalizes elevator traffic flow.It employs a sophisticated variable algorithm tomanage the complexities of traffic patterns asthey change through the day.Miconic 10 in mid-and high-rise buildingsMiconic 10’s remarkable passenger handlingeffectiveness really comes into its own whenapplied to elevator groups serving multiple-floorintensive traffic. In a corporate building, with,for example, 6-car groups serving 15 or moreConventionalMiconic 106Schindler Miconic 10floors and transporting as many as 2,000 people,Miconic 10 delivers a substantial payback in bothimproved journey times and individual comfort.Managing efficiently the internal traffic in large,complex buildings is the elevator industry’s mostchallenging task. Miconic 10’s concept of elevatoroperation more than meets that challe nge.Miconic 10 in low-rise buildingsIn a 6-floor building such as the example usedhere, passenger handling capability alone maynot be a major issue for management. However,when the benefits of user-friendliness are addedto increased efficiency, the Miconic 10 packagebecomes an attractive and viable proposition.

Thenext 8 fill up the second, and the few remainingoccupy the other cars.It directs the 6 passengers traveling to each of thetwo busy floors to individually assigned cars, andrationally distributes the remainder.This random behavior by passengers means thatevery car has multiple destination stops, so journey times are slowed. And the majority of passengers suffer overcrowding.As a result, Miconic 10 ensures that all the passengers experience a speedy one- or two-stop ride,no one suffers overcrowding and time to destination is faster.Schindler Miconic 107

The early input of destination information is thekey to Miconic 10’s unique capability.Every request can be assessed individually beforethe passenger enters the car.Processing and assignment occurs in a fraction ofa second, and to the passenger it appears virtuallyinstantaneously.Miconic 10 in action1 At the lobby, two passengers (red) key floor 2and another (green) keys floor 5.2 Miconic 10 registers the calls and analyzeselevator status. It selects cars A and B forassignment due to the shorter time theyrequire to answer the calls, achievingminimum waiting time.Its algorithm groups passengers with thesame departure and/or destination floors.It also allows individualized service to different destinations under light traffic. So initiallyit aims to give everyone a one-stop trip byallocating the passenger for floor 5 to Car Aand the two for floor 2 to Car B.3 A further call is keyed by a passenger atfloor 4 requesting travel to floor 5.Miconic 10’s algorithm favors groupingpassengers by destination, so it modifies itsassignment of Car A to collect the additionalpassenger on the way up.Schindler Miconic 109
Design freedomWith conventional elevator control every passenger must be able to access any elevator at veryshort notice. All entrances must be visible andaccessible from any point on the landing or lobby.In practice this heavily influences building corelayout and severely constrains lobby design andfunctionality.With Miconic 10 each passenger has only oneelevator to consider, and does not need simultaneous sight of all of them. The designer has muchgreater flexibility in floorplate layout and morefreedom to exploit elevator entrances as a designfeature.Applications of Miconic 10Miconic 10 may be incorporated into multiplearrangement groups of elevators. Its algorithmsare well suited to elevator groups having unequalnumbers of floors.Special service switchingIn addition to its normal function the keypad alsogives management the ability to access specialfeatures through input of codes programmed intoMiconic 10.Typical applications include:– emergency service use– dedicated and express VIP journeys– designating cars for specific building needssuch as freight or maintenance– limiting access to specific floors.Many security features, such as card readers, PINnumber registration, special keys and hands-freeradio tags may be integrated into the Miconic10 terminal. And we are working with owners todevelop new features that will help them achievetheir individual needs.It may also be installed as a modernization ofsystems currently employing Miconic TX orMiconic VX controllers. Miconic 10 is compatiblewith the Schindler LobbyVision buildingmanagement system.Possible configurations with Miconic 10In-line groups greater than 4 cars lack practicalitywhen using conventional controllers. Miconic 10now makes linear configurations totally viable.10Schindler Miconic 10Corner groups routinely suffer crowding at theapex. Pre-assignment of passengers eliminates this.Distances between car entrances in facing groupswould normally be minimized. Miconic 10 allowsmuch greater creative use of elevator placement.
