E Escalators and elevators continue to replace the traditional stairs in the modern world. As the population increases and places become more crowded, problems like congestion naturally come into the picture. In pursuit of tackling the issues created by overly populated spaces, high-rise buildings have become the need of the hour.

However, escalators and elevators today aren't merely limited to sky-high buildings. The modern-day subways, shopping malls, and other much shorter residential spaces have also started utilizing their potential, making them a primary contributing factor to global infrastructural development.

One major company at the forefront of this phenomenon is the leading German multinational elevator company known as TK Elevator. The company became one of the most trusted escalators and elevator service companies globally as they made navigation a breeze for all. How? Let's find out.

A Brief about TK Elevator With customers in over 100 countries served by more than 50,000 employees, TK Elevator achieved sales of €8.5 billion in fiscal year 2021/2022.

moving walks that enable advanced mobility between major infrastructures. These moving walk networks provide an emission-free solution for airports, railway stations, and central business districts.

One of the highlights of its product range is the TWIN elevator's cutting-edge technology which allows two independent elevator cars to operate within a single shaft.

The unique implementation of TWIN has led to an effective reduction in wait time for passengers and has saved valuable floor space for property owners across global landmarks.

Overall, TKE is a holistic experience that goes beyond its products and services. It begins with the purchase of TKE's precise German-engineered elevators and escalators, but what makes the experience special is the reliable service and maintenance spanning throughout the service life of the particular product.

Service, maintenance, and modernization are the crucial aspects that drive the TK Elevators' business. Developers, property managers, and REITs globally entrust TK Elevator with their entire portfolio of mobility assets across different properties and locations.

The world today continues to move toward a sustainable future, including the TKE. The brand is well-equipped to leave a footprint with its innovative yet energy-efficient elevators along with its cloud-based maintenance solutions.

Efficient, Convenient, and Sustainable TK Elevator has made mobility more convenient through its products and services that cater to different settings, be it residential, offices, shopping centers, hotels, hospitals, train stations, or airports. The range includes passenger, freight, panoramic, home elevators, stairs, and platform lifts for low, mid, and high-rise properties across various segments.

TK Elevators has consistently proven itself as an innovative mobility solutions provider tailored toward developing urban areas. It invests significant resources in R&D to make the latest equipment available to its customer base. The simple philosophy consists of three things: Higher efficiency, lower maintenance, and the least emission.

At its core, TKE's strength lies in its strong design and engineering. The company has aligned itself with the emerging global trend of designing and constructing sustainable buildings and cities. Its products and solutions optimize efficiency and reduce downtime. Notably, its magnetic traction machines allow TKE to bring energyefficient, high-speed, and high-capacity solutions to the market.

TKE also offers an array of modernized solutions for older elevators and escalators. These solutions efficiently revitalize the elevators and escalators whether they were made by TKE or third parties. The product line extends to

Ground-breaking Technologies and Products TWIN: This revolutionary system offers the benefits of significantly increasing system capacity without the need for extra elevator shafts. Its ability to park one of the two cars while the other stays operational is especially impressive. Thanks to the system, when the passenger volumes are low, non-moving cars become very energyefficient. Moreover, the TWIN can also be equipped with energy recovery devices that can provide around 30% of energy back into the building's power grid.

MAX: It is a ground-breaking predictive and pre-emptive service solution that enhances the remote monitoring capabilities to significantly boost the current availability levels of both new and old elevators. By utilizing the Internet of Things capabilities of Microsoft Azure, MAX enables an elevator to “inform” service workers about its actual needs. That includes real-time identification of problems, component replacements, and preventive system maintenance.

AGILE: The AGILE Destination Selection Control, also known as DSC, enhances customer experience and improves the system's energy efficiency by reducing wait and travel times. More than conventional elevator control systems, the AGILE DSC increases passenger handling capacity by up to 30%. This minimizes travel time and reduces congestion in lift lobbies. In addition, DSC allows for flexible elevator grouping, lift core layouts, and overall building design.

Keeping up with the Industry Trends & Challenges TKE provides services with a customer-centric mindset and a commitment to meeting customer needs through innovation. Drawing from its vast knowledge and market foresight, the company has introduced a range of valueadded products and solutions tailored to specific markets that are also sustainable.

By the year 2050, urban populations are projected to account for nearly 70% of the global population. That translates to a 2.5 billion increase in the number of city inhabitants, with the vast majority of growth expected in Africa, South America, and Asia. As migration to cities increases, one way to achieve urbanization is through efficient planning and infrastructure development.

Keeping this in mind, TKE is investing in the development of new technologies to elevate urban mobility to new levels.

Separating itself from the Crowd TKE covers the entire life cycle of elevators, escalators, and moving walks from A to Z. It prioritizes customer satisfaction and offers services that enable property owners and managers to save costs and boost profits throughout their expansion.

TKE's modernization services, combined with its digital solutions MAX and AGILE Destination Selection Control are ideal for property revamps, repurposing, and upgrades. Each customer benefits from improved accessibility and passenger capacity in older buildings, resulting in short and long-term advantages such as higher rent returns.

It's no surprise that the demand for IoT-based smart elevators is constantly growing. AI-powered elevators can provide real-time insights, productive maintenance, and enable communication in elevators. These innovative digital solutions have enhanced technology like data, extended

reality technology, algorithms, and detectors to reach the required levels of efficiency and consumer safety.

With innovation at the forefront, TK Elevator especially focuses on digital offerings like AGILE Destination Selection Control designed to work with new installation or modernization projects. With AGILE, TKE deploys energy intelligently and flexibly, saving energy consumption by optimizing elevator deployment at all times.

Additionally, AGILE effectively provides passengers with a better travel experience by reducing waiting and traveling times.

Future of High-Rise Construction The increasing number of tall buildings and the need for feasible and hassle-free traveling such as elevators are two sides of the same coin. A High-Rise elevator system demands meticulous and impartial capacity analysis and detailed simulation. In this system, not only the building, but its population and peak demands need to be correctly modeled.

Furthermore, elevator configuration and physical or dynamic zoning are also determined.

In high-rise buildings. TKE's TWIN is especially useful in reducing urban sprawl and its impacts. Moreover, older buildings can also be made more sustainable or “greener” by modernizing their vertical mobility system. Other solutions, namely MAX and AGILE DSC can also make operations of older buildings more energy efficient.

C India under the Spotlight In India, a country that contributes to around 17% of the world's population, the boom in high-rise construction is even less of a surprise. The country's population is growing at 1.7% every year. On the contrary, the urban population is growing rapidly at 6% with 380 million living in 8,000 cities and towns.

The Indian elevator market is uniquely driven by rapid economic development and urbanization. Locally operating an R&D center underlines TKE's commitment to serving and developing solutions tailored specifically for the Indian market.

TKE's Elevators and Escalators, manufactured at Pune's Multi-Purpose Facility (MPF) are widely used in shopping malls and subway stations across the country. For residential projects, Its low and mid-rise elevator solutions have become the preferred choice for local communities on a daily basis.

TK Elevator has always supported the government's “Make in India” initiative through the promotion of its localized R&D and manufacturing. This MultiPurpose Facility (MPF) is built on 84,000 square meters of land. Seeing its immense growth potential, TK Elevators will continue investing its resources in the Indian market.

The MPF includes a corporate office, production facility, central warehouse, centralized call center, customer experience center, training center, product showroom, and test shafts. The facility was for an initial capacity of manufacturing 6000 elevators, which can be expanded to over 10,000 units in the near future.

smart devices, with technology revolutionizing the way humans do business. In the past few years, Smart, Machine-Learning, and Internet of Things solutions have changed the elevator industry by increasing elevator availability and reducing out-of-service situations by up to 50% through realtime diagnostics.

With a lethal combination of AI and Humans, the MAX technology predicts maintenance issues before they even occur and notifies elevator engineers by flagging the need to replace components and systems before the elevator lifecycle ends. Its cloud-stored data schedules maintenance based on machine-calculated life-span predictions of components, resulting in fewer service disruptions and reduced labor costs.

TKE's digitized after sales service, with each technician connected to the office through a smart tablet, enables the company to efficiently service the elevators and escalators while maintaining a better response time and minimum MTBF (Mean Time before Failure).

For some of its major customers, TKE has introduced a practice called predictive Maintenance. By leveraging this practice, critical components of the elevator can directly be replaced from the units at the end of the elevator's lifecycle irrespective of its malfunctioning or functioning.

Already among the world's best, TKE Escalators reliably moves millions of

people across metro stations around the world. From heavy-duty powerhouse escalators to trendy interior designs, TKE escalators are exactly what customers need.

Today, road traffic is a major concern in most modern cities. As a result, having a well-connected yet efficient metro network is essential.

With experience in installing escalators and elevators in various cities across the globe, TKE's objective is to effectively combat high-traffic scenarios through its expert solutions.

In addition to escalators and elevators, the company also offers moving walks. These moving walks are convenient, comfortable, and in line with the highest safety standards that optimize capacity and space. Whether you are pushing a stroller or carting luggage, they help people cover long stretches at metro stations while simultaneously saving time.

Leveraging its global service network, TK Elevator's highly skilled professionals aim to keep the new or retrofitted system operating at peak performance for years to come. TKE will also work closely with the customer to find the right solution to retrofit or add a modern touch to your aging system.

One additional benefit of these tablets is that technicians can access routes, manuals, technical data banks, and expert advice from remote locations, making for a superior customer service experience.

Rising through War Time

Their motorcycles are the perfect combination of a beautiful body framework, excellent engineering, and a smooth ride. Hardcore bike lovers, when looking to buy a motorcycle, often don’t settle for anything less than Harley. In this article, we’ll take you on a ride to show the journey of Harley Davidson from a bicycle brand to a motorcycle legend loved by all.

Competition with Global Market Founded in 1903, Harley Davidson is one of the few American companies that survived the Great Depression in 1930. It was established in one of the towns in the United States of America named Milwaukee in Wisconsin. The company experienced multiple changes in terms of leadership and subsidiary arrangements. When there was serious competition in the global market,

The origin of the company can be traced back to 1901 when William S. Harvey decided to use a small engine capable of displacing 116 cc flywheels for manufacturing pedal-powered bicycles. For another two years, William, along with his childhood friend Arther Davidson kept on tinkering with the engine. The journey of one of the most iconic motorcycle manufacturers in the world began when the process of engine-making was finished. When the USA decided to participate in the First World War, the demand for motorcycle users increased. Harley Davidson sold more than 15000 motorcycles to the US military during the war.

In fact, during Second World War, the government again asked Harley Davidson to serve in the military. The

company provided more than 90,000 motorcycle bikes to the military, probably one of the highest demand to date. However, when American Machine and Factory purchased Harley Davidson in 1969, the company lost its reputation for manufacturing reliable and quality motorcycles. The American Machine and Factory reduced the mass production of bikes and fired most of the workers which lowered the bike quality and made them inferior to their Japanese counterparts. Soon, the company became bankrupt and it was difficult for it to survive. However, the veteran didn’t bog down and kept coming back, ultimately making way for itself in the market again.

Pioneer of ‘Chopper Motorcycles’ In the beginning, Harley-Davidson manufactured large, air-cooled cruiser motorcycles with powerful engines with a minimum displacement of 700cc. This model of motorcycles brought the trend of the “chopper” motorcycle style that underwent mass production and was customized to complement the rider’s desires and specifications. They were well-known for the personalized bike specifications company offered for buyers.

Keeping up with the Quality Harley-Davidson is one of those brands in the market that has good manufacturing quality and designs that fulfill the requirements of customers at a low cost. However, the company has faced numerous challenges throughout its journey. As mentioned earlier, during the 1970s, it experienced tough times as its market share was declining due to the poor quality of its bikes. The American Machine and Factory company desired to take advantage of the market situation and raise production by neglecting its supply chain management. The company suffered vigorously in maintaining its quality, however, it recovered to become the sole surviving heavy-weight motorcycle-producing company.

Just in Time Management In 1981, Harley Davidson appointed new personnel at the management level. The company launched new production schedules that surged inventory turns from 16 to 28 million. It focused on improving relationships with suppliers and building better supply chain management. Thereafter, the company introduced “Just in Time Management” which helped it to achieve continuous advancement in quality and quantity. It increased the product development efficiency which dropped the cost and ultimately the sale was increased.

Harley Davidson has become a leader in the market not just in terms of producing and selling motorcycles but also as a perfect example for upcoming startups to follow. The foremost accomplishment of the company is quality improvement and quick delivery of products. The company consistently studies customer behavior and understands their needs to make innovations in the product.

What makes Harley-Davidson unique from other contemporary businesses?

Today, management institutes are teaching Harley Davidson as a case study to their students and making effective contributions in the field of marketing. Here are some factors that differentiate Harley-Davidson from most of its competitors.

HARD CHALLENGE

The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

www.theenterpriseworld.com | 47

T

here is a surge of people participating in 75 hard challenges all over social media, catching millions of eyeballs with pictures of books, diet plans, before-after progress pics, and various hashtags. If you haven’t already come across this trend, you might have questions like what is 75 hard challenge? Why is everyone going gaga over it? Are there any benefits? Is it safe? Let us answer all the questions you might have and more.

3. Document Your Progress: Take your progress photos every day.

4. Water Intake: Drink at least 1 gallon of water daily.

5. Book Reading: Read 10 pages of a book every day, excluding audiobooks.

P.S. The book genre must be: selfimprovement What are the benefits of 75 Hard?

What is the 75 Hard Challenge?

• The 75 Hard Challenge, a program that supposedly turns your life upside down for the better, was created by Andy Frisella—an entrepreneur, author, and podcaster at Real AF. While the whole thing is positioned as a “transformative mental toughness program,” its physical effects are noticeable, as seen from numerous progress pics on the hashtags such as #75Hard.

The idea for 75 Hard came after Andy interviewed James Lawrence, aka the Iron Cowboy, who completed 50 Ironman triathlons in 50 U.S. states every day for 50 days. According to James, to achieve mental toughness, one must intentionally put themselves in uncomfortable situations. In addition, Frisella also noticed that people around him were failing to complete the fitness programs they signed up for.

Rules of 75 Hard 1. Keep A Diet Plan: He doesn’t specify what specific foods to eat, however, he does put emphasis on not having cheat meals or alcohol.

• • • • • •

Improved Confidence and enhanced self-esteem and selfworth Better physical health Better ability to complete daily activities and management skills Enhanced Grittiness Stronger Fortitude Career Improvements Improved relationships

The program aims to benefit the person physically, mentally, and emotionally. Nutritional discipline and workouts will certainly benefit you in losing weight and overall fitness. And the daily water intake will keep you hydrated, an important factor in a person’s health.

Considering that one must only read self-improvement books, at the end of the program, you will read 750 pages, helping you solve personal issues if any.

Furthermore, the progress photos will give you a dose of motivation as you see the positive physical changes.

75 Hard Challenge: Safety Concerns

2. Follow A Workout Routine: Work out twice a day for 45 minutes, out of which one workout must be done outdoors.

48 | October 2023

It is safe to say that the 75 Hard might not be everyone’s cup of tea. And here’s why:

The creator, Andy Frisella, is not a doctor or a medical expert, nor is the program backed by scientific studies.

The 75 Hard came into existence purely based on Frisella’s own intuition. While there are numerous benefits to the 75 Hard, the program fails to consider human complexity.

Every human has different fitness levels, goals, and existing medical issues. As a result, many medical and fitness experts believe the program isn’t sustainable and might even cause injuries, based on the current one-sizefits-all nature of the program.

Experts believe that taking small steps is more beneficial in the long run.

Programs like The 75 Hard might suit someone with an already active lifestyle. However, for someone who is on the opposite spectrum, the sudden changes can be overwhelming.

Should you enter the 75 Hard Program?

While the physical, mental, and emotional benefits sound tempting on paper, the lack of expertise and scientific evidence means taking trendy challenges like 75 Hard with a grain of salt is a wiser choice.

Here’s a scenario for you: Assuming one completes all 75 days of the program, the dopamine drop on the 76th day could be huge, potentially causing a lack of motivation for the remaining days.

Considering all the pros and cons of the 75 Hard Challenge, it is best to consult the experts in their field as your doctor, dietician, or trainer, before you opt in. The expert help will allow you to tweak your lifestyle in ways that suit your specific needs and help you achieve goals efficiently in the long term.
