Augsburg – One thing is certain: the coming interlift is 2019’s largest lift trade fair. And it will probably be even bigger than the previous event in 2017. 455 exhibitors are currently registered, and large joint presentations from Italy and China as well as participants from the federal state of Saxony will also be there. Korea, too, for the first time has signalled concrete interest in a greater participation. Lift companies from more than 40 countries will be presenting their innovations in Augsburg; the occupied area will increase by about 2,000m² to over 46,000m². As recently, the quota of new or repeat exhibitors is around 5%.
Interlift 2019 Presents Tomorrow’s Lift World
Lift companies from all over the world prefer showing their innovations in Augsburg. Here at the world’s leading trade fair the concentration of international top decision-makers amongst the visitors is at its highest. Numerous innovations and further developments are also expected in 2019. In addition to new ISO norms which are valid worldwide, it is digitalisation that is responsible for increasingly fast technical changes here. Digital documentation, remote monitoring, Industry 4.0, building information or maintenance as required are just some of the fields which currently occupy industry intensively.
In this way the interlift 2019 is an obligatory date for everyone who has anything to do with lifts, for many innovations and trends which will affect the world of lifts in the future are presented here for the first time.
Iinterlift 2019: Optimised Trade Fair Tour and Improved Service for Visitors
In contrast to recently, the halls 8 (Wittur-Cube) and 9 are included in the trade fair tour. At the interlift 2019, visitors to hall 3 can get to hall 7 directly via
halls 8 and 9. That this model functions very well was shown by the GrindTec, a trade fair comparable to the interlift with regard to size and visitor numbers. The trade fair management situated between halls 8 and 9 and a Street Food park have also contributed to this success.
The shuttle bus service has also been further developed by the organisers, the AFAG. The offer, which was already comprehensive, is being extended by an additional line from the Munich bus station (directly next to the central train station) to the exhibition centre. Together with the connections to Munich Airport and the Augsburg central train station there are now three regular bus services to the exhibition centre.
As in 2017 the parking spaces of the WWK arena directly next to the exhibition centre are available for all visitors arriving by car. A free shuttle bus runs between the stadium and the exhibition centre and in this way visitors can comfortably reach the entry areas within about 7 minutes.
The relocation of the exhibitors’ “Lift Experts’ Night” to the business area of the WWK arena has also proved successful. The shuttle service is of course also available to the guests of this festive evening.
Hotel reservations via Regio Augsburg
It is basically the case that the hotels in and around Augsburg are well-booked during the interlift.

CYPRESS, Calif. – December 11, 2018 – Mitsubishi Electric US, Inc. Elevator & Escalator Division introduces Diamond HS™ premium passenger elevators for high-rise buildings. Designed to offer premium service while addressing passenger safety and comfort, Diamond HS™ elevators include innovative technology systems that keep pace with society’s ever-growing demands for energy efficiency and sustainability.
“Mitsubishi Electric is committed to providing uncompromised reliability and sustainable performance in all of its products. Our high-speed Diamond HS™ elevators are no exception,” says Erik Zommers, senior vice president and general manager for Mitsubishi Electric US, Inc. Elevator & Escalator Division. “We designed and manufactured Diamond HS™ elevators in response to the market’s diverse application demands. They offer comfort, smooth and efficient passenger movement, energy savings and originality in design.”
Some of the industry-leading features of the Diamond HS™ line include:
- The world’s highest level of efficiency and power factor for traction machines
- One of the world’s quietest brakes as a result of advanced noise-reduction technology
- New sfleX-rope™ technology for super high-rise rope mechanics to reduce rope stretching
- An optional active roller guide that reduces vibrations and provides even more comfort for passengers
Diamond HS™ elevators are equipped with Sigma AI-2200C or Sigma AI-22 group control systems (ΣAI-22 and ΣAI-2200C). These systems utilize artificial intelligence to optimally apportion passengers to cars according to factors such as waiting time, travel time, current car occupancy, energy consumption and building size. Diamond HS™ elevators are also available with an optional destination-oriented allocation system (DOAS) that can reduce average waiting times by up to 30 percent compared to conventional control systems. Passengers use hall-operating panels to select their destination floor before boarding the elevator, allowing the supervisory controller’s algorithm to determine the best car to serve that floor. Dispersing passengers by destination eliminates the need for passengers to press a button within the car, reduces the number of potential stops that a car will make, minimizes wait and travel times for all users and reduces energy consumption.
To promote sustainability, Diamond HS™ elevators use a permanent magnet gearless traction machine, which produces an intense magnetic field due to high-density, high-precision winding of the joint-lapped cores built into the machine’s motor, reducing energy usage and CO2 emissions.
Diamond HS™ are equipped with intelligent door systems to promote safety and reliable door operation. As sensors detect conditions including variations in door loads between floors, wind strength within elevator shafts and sediment in the door tracks, the data is analyzed by a highly-efficient Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) so that the elevator can adjust the speed at which doors open and close and modify torque to reduce the likelihood of a door-related failure. Precise control of AC motor speed and torque is provided by variable-voltage, variable-frequency (VVVF) inverters that enable Diamond HS™ elevators to vary voltage and AC motor input frequency as required. Additionally, Mitsubishi Electric offers a door operator design that is unique to the industry, where the door operator mechanism is structurally isolated from the elevator cab, minimizing noise and vibration transmission into the cab, and further stabilizing door operation.
The brake system incorporated into the Diamond HS™ elevators’ traction machines employs a double-brake configuration to stop elevators securely. An additional high-resolution motor encoder maintains landing precision and affirms that passengers feel safe stepping across the threshold to board and disembark and feel comfortable during their ride. If the sensors detect a passenger or object over the track, the doors will immediately stop closing and then fully reopen.
Emergency features include standard earthquake and fire emergency operations, as well as emergency car lighting, automatic emergency power source operation, a remote supervisory panel, and MelEye, an advanced control system from Mitsubishi Electric.
In addition to safe and efficient passenger movement, rider comfort is key in the design and configuration of Diamond HS™ elevators. Leading-edge control systems and devices work with highly skilled installation technology to assure that even high-speed rides are smooth and quiet throughout their duration. An added focus on alignment ensures that cars are perfectly positioned at floors as the doors open.
