You press the button for the elevator, wait&#8230; and wait. The minutes seem to tick by, but the elevator still isn&#8217;t there. This everyday situation can be frustrating for many, especially when you&#8217;re in a hurry and have no idea how much longer it will take. There is usually a simple lack of information: When exactly will my elevator arrive? <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The problem: No real-time information on the actual waiting time<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the main reasons for frustration when waiting for the elevator is the lack of transparency. Users do not know what the elevator is currently doing and how long it is likely to take. This depends on many factors that are normally hidden from the user. Is he busy on another floor, is there a priority trip, is the door on a floor blocked or are there simply many people using the elevator at the same time? Without information, waiting remains a passive, unsatisfactory experience. This lack of information leads to uncertainty and dissatisfaction with the elevator system. One simple piece of information can completely change this user experience! <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-49u4cc-d6a5bbd9356e5907ae31a197fde2b4a1\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-49u4cc-d6a5bbd9356e5907ae31a197fde2b4a1{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-49u4cc-d6a5bbd9356e5907ae31a197fde2b4a1 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m1kprfun-56021de744fce5261698e9fcd75ca951\">\n.avia-image-container.av-m1kprfun-56021de744fce5261698e9fcd75ca951 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-m1kprfun-56021de744fce5261698e9fcd75ca951 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-m1kprfun-56021de744fce5261698e9fcd75ca951 av-styling- avia-align-left  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-6692 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-6692 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/elfin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Display-Arrival-Time-Touch.png\" alt='' title='Display-Arrival-Time-Touch'  height=\"569\" width=\"1000\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Display-Arrival-Time-Touch.png 1000w, https:\/\/elfin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Display-Arrival-Time-Touch-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/elfin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Display-Arrival-Time-Touch-768x437.png 768w, https:\/\/elfin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Display-Arrival-Time-Touch-705x401.png 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2d2zf6-6aed190a2c457f9e016c9345ad7a6e82\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-2d2zf6-6aed190a2c457f9e016c9345ad7a6e82{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-2d2zf6-6aed190a2c457f9e016c9345ad7a6e82 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m1ox2qxa-e8a730ea70055d8b4310edce7a908818 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2><strong>The solution: Always keep an eye on waiting times with modern displays<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In many other areas of life, it has been shown that transparency and information help to increase satisfaction. When users know what is happening and how long they have to wait, they feel less at the mercy of others. In the case of elevators, it would therefore be helpful if there were a system that provided clear information about the elevator&#8217;s expected arrival. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How about simply showing users how long they will have to wait? Then everyone can decide for themselves whether they want to wait, whether it&#8217;s better to take the stairs or whether they can even grab a quick coffee. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is now possible! An innovative solution that is already being used in some modern buildings are displays that show the expected waiting time on each floor until the elevator arrives. This technology not only gives users an insight into the current utilization of the elevator system, but also enables them to make their own decisions. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Less frustration, more understanding<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surveys show that the introduction of such information systems creates an unexpected transparency of information and a clearly positive perception of the operator. Users understand the situation better and have the feeling that they are back in control of their decisions. Especially at peak times, when the elevators are heavily frequented, transparency leads to more patience and understanding. The stay becomes a positive user experience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such systems could also increase the efficiency of elevator operation in the long term. If more people use the stairs when the elevator takes longer, the load is reduced and there are fewer overloads in the system. In buildings with heavy interfloor traffic, this could lead to an improvement in the overall performance of the elevators. If the approximate travel times are known, a comparative calculation, for example, can provide specific recommendations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the signals for displaying the estimated time of arrival have been defined in the CANopen-Lift standard, more and more modern elevator controllers are making this information available. The<a href=\"https:\/\/flexypage.de\/\"> flexyPage\u00ae displays<\/a> can show this information from all these manufacturers and thus contribute to a better user experience. <\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waiting for an elevator is often unpleasant, especially if there is no information about the cause of the delay. Modern <a href=\"https:\/\/flexypage.de\">flexyPage\u00ae displays<\/a>, which show the expected arrival time on each floor, create transparency and enable users to make informed decisions. This technology helps to reduce frustration, promote understanding and ultimately make the use of elevators in busy buildings more efficient and positive. It&#8217;s a small step with a big impact that makes everyday life a little bit more pleasant for many people. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_section-7c0e59b2bcb0f2ed853555f795505c35\">\n.avia-section.av-av_section-7c0e59b2bcb0f2ed853555f795505c35{\nbackground-color:#f5f4ff;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-av_section-7c0e59b2bcb0f2ed853555f795505c35 main_color avia-section-huge avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-6579'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div class='flex_column_table av-mncudhil-c0f9b78cd0308d1bcac3823ef1fdd11f sc-av_one_half av-equal-height-column-flextable'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mncudhil-c0f9b78cd0308d1bcac3823ef1fdd11f\">\n@keyframes av_boxShadowEffect_av-mncudhil-c0f9b78cd0308d1bcac3823ef1fdd11f-column {\n0%   { box-shadow:  0 0 0 0 rgba(47,32,138,0.29);
