Beyond Guesswork: Predictive Diagnostic Intelligence

Traditional elevator evaluations rely on subjective reports — "we noticed an unusual noise". However, the human ear is limited (20 Hz–20 kHz), and mechanical failures begin invisibly. When your property management, legal team or insurance carrier requires objective, quantifiable evidence, conventional maintenance technicians cannot provide the engineering rigor needed to prevent costly breakdowns and structural damage — or to defend your position in court.

Our team, led by Engineer Georgio Batista de Lima, acts as a certified expert witness combining mechanical engineering, industrial automation, and proprietary Artificial Intelligence. With ultra-sensitive measurements (precision of 0.1 µm) we capture mechanical degradation months before failures occur. We replace subjective assessments with mathematically proven, interactive results, producing definitive elevator inspection reports and legal evidence against major OEMs (Otis, Schindler, ThyssenKrupp, KONE, Atlas, etc.).

Our methodology integrates ASME A17.1 (Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators), ASME A17.2 (Guide for Inspection), ABNT NBR 16483, ABNT NBR 15597, and ISO 18738 (Measurement of Ride Quality in Lifts) — delivering a multi-standard compliance certificate accepted in both Brazilian and international legal proceedings.

"Swiss Audit" — 100% Independent

We do not manufacture parts or sell maintenance contracts. We diagnose only — ensuring our compliance reports are completely free of hidden commercial bias. Zero conflict of interest.

Proprietary AI Ecosystem

Our exclusive software cross-references noise and vibration spectra against ISO 18738 critical thresholds and ASME A17.1 acceptance criteria, replacing reactive crisis management with surgical predictive maintenance.

360° Forensic Video Evidence

Immersive multi-camera recording of all hoistway components synchronized millisecond-by-millisecond with acoustic events, providing irrefutable chain-of-custody evidence for attorneys resolving contractual disputes with OEMs.

Our Excellence Protocol

Unique Methodology in Brazil:

Two-Phase Inspection with Full Noise & Vibration Assessment

1

Comprehensive Normative Audit

Full equipment audit per ABNT NBR 16483, NBR 15597, and ASME A17.1/A17.2 equivalence. We methodically verify structural conditions, mechanical safety components, and active/passive electrical safety systems.

  • Machine room, hoistway, cab and guide rail inspection
  • Full documentation audit and maintenance logbook review
  • Integrity assessment of brakes, governors, ropes, sheaves and door interlocks
2

ISO 18738 Spectral Comfort Test & 360° Video

Precision capture of micro-vibrations and acoustic anomalies invisible to the naked eye, using laboratory-grade RBC-calibrated instrumentation. This is the differentiating factor that makes us the most advanced elevator diagnostic firm in Brazil.

  • Tri-axial ultra-sensitive accelerometers and velocimeters (acceleration & velocity)
  • Synchronized 360° multi-camera video recording of full hoistway
  • Report with FFT deviation charts — mathematically exact per ISO 18738

Applicable Standards & Codes

ASME A17.1-2022
Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. Reference standard used in parallel with Brazilian ABNT norms for multinational client reporting.

ASME A17.2-2020
Guide for Inspection of Elevators, Escalators, and Moving Walks. Defines inspection procedures and acceptance criteria used in our two-phase protocol.

ISO 18738:2012
Measurement of Ride Quality in Lifts / Elevators. Horizontal vibration A95 ≤ 15 milli-g, cab noise ≤ 55 dB(A). All parameters measured with RBC-calibrated instruments.

ABNT NBR 16483
Brazilian standard for safety rules for the construction and installation of electric elevators (equivalent to EN 81-20). Mandatory for ART issuance.

ABNT NBR 15597
Brazilian standard for safety rules for existing elevators (equivalent to EN 81-80). Applied in our normative compliance audit of in-service units.

ASME A17.3-2020
Safety Code for Existing Elevators and Escalators. Used as a retrofit and modernization compliance benchmark for aged installations.
