Real-time logging of elevator status and locations

Purpose

1. Automate the real-time logging of elevator status, operation metrics, and location events to centralize data for predictive maintenance, regulatory compliance, customer transparency, incident auditing, and efficiency improvements.

2. Automated processes reduce manual errors, ensure uptime visibility, and automate data flows from IoT devices, BMS, tracking sensors, or telemetry APIs into asset management, ticketing, notification, analytics, and reporting platforms.

Trigger Conditions

1. Elevator status change detected via sensor or IoT pulse (e.g., moving, idle, door open).

2. Location event initiated (elevator arrives/departs a floor, unexpected halt, emergency stop).

3. Scheduled status poll (e.g., every 30 seconds, hourly automated snapshot).

4. Error, maintenance, or incident alarm automatedly flagged by hardware or software.

5. On-demand diagnostics or third-party API polling by maintenance teams.
