The KONE MonoSpace® DX Elevator is redefining vertical transportation for mid‑ and low‑rise buildings, combining advanced engineering with intelligent design. More than just a means of moving between floors, it delivers a tailored passenger experience that blends efficiency, safety, and aesthetics.
As buildings evolve to meet new demands, the MonoSpace DX elevator is becoming an integral part of how people interact with a space, shaping its functionality and visual and sensory identity. From its space‑saving, machine‑room‑less design to its built-in digital connectivity and customizable interiors, the MonoSpace DX sets a new benchmark for the modern ride experience.
Smarter Designing, Smaller Form Factor
The MonoSpace DX is one of the most advanced elevators. It has a machine room-less design. Powered by the compact KONE EcoDisc hoisting motor, it needs no machine room. This results in saving space for other uses and gives the architect the freedom to plan layouts more effectively.
Since the motor is located directly in the hoistway, the construction and integration are faster and simpler. This is very useful for retrofit jobs or in tight urban spaces, where constructing a machine room might be challenging.
Connectivity Built in for Intelligent Experiences
MonoSpace® DX offers built-in digital connectivity via KONE APIs. This allows property owners to:
- access real-time data
- integrate third-party services
- roll out new features with minimal disruption
With 24/7 connected services, the elevator can share its performance insights constantly. It allows proactive maintenance. This reduces downtime and enhances end-user comfort. Remote monitoring and quick adjustments enable the building to adapt to changing needs.
Design That Responds to Its User
Elevators are an integral part of the building’s visual and sensory identity.
MonoSpace® DX allows you to select from:
- a wide range of materials
- signalization
- lighting
This choice enables designers to create personalized interiors that reflect the building or brand’s theme.
Lighting is also a design element in the elevator. It can be adjusted according to the:
- building activity
- time
- season
This lighting makes wayfinding easier. Additionally, it makes the atmosphere more pleasant. Handrail and skirting lighting can enhance security and give the elevator a modern appeal.
Media displays can also be integrated into the elevator. This can help with:
- real-time updates
- news
- branding
- delivering messages to tenants
These interactive features not only keep passengers entertained but also serve as a navigation aid.
Emphasis on Safety and Hygiene
User comfort and safety are paramount. KONE’s handrail sanitizing system ensures cleaner surfaces by continuously destroying bacteria, viruses, and dirt. This prompts users to hold the rails. It results in a better holding grip. The rails also reduce the risk of slips and falls.
The elevator complies with major accessibility standards, ensuring seamless use for all. It also meets fire operation and vandal-resistance standards to ensure the safety of everyone, regardless of the situation.
Smooth and Eco-Friendly Operation
MonoSpace DX is a design-conscious product that saves energy. It consumes around 80% less energy than hydraulic equivalents, featuring regenerative driving, smart standby, and long-life LED lighting.
An alternative to offset the remaining embodied carbon is available, providing significant help to projects seeking to achieve their sustainability goals. This is particularly important for developments aiming for green certification.
Modernizable and Ready for the Future
A building with an older MonoSpace elevator can smoothly transition to DX functionality thanks to the upgrade options. These include amendments in the areas of electrification, hoisting, doors, and interiors. An upgrade can be done in phases to minimize disruption.
Electrification upgrades improve reliability and efficiency. New doors are quieter and safer, with no impact on spatial footprint. The car interiors can be introduced into a new era with modern finishes, smart displays, and signalization.
Together, these modular upgrades ensure the elevator evolves alongside the building, ultimately adding enduring value and appeal to residents.
Summing It Up
Integrating intelligence with thoughtful design and energy efficiency, KONE’s MonoSpace® DX elevator creates the modern passenger experience. It caters to users’ needs while preparing the building for the future. With its flexibility in customization, hygienic enhancements, and digital protocols, the elevator is more than a vertical conveyance; it is an integral part of the building’s identity.
