In Shunde in May, the breeze is gentle and the landscape is lush with greenery. On May 23, a group of leaders and representatives from Foshan Chancheng Property Management Association visited Nidec Elevator Components, kicking off an exchange tour themed "Elevator Maintenance, Renewal and Renovation". As the host, we presented to the association's guests Nidec's elevator traction machine R&D, lean production, quality management and corporate culture.
Departure: Discussing the Secrets of Elevator Renewal and Renovation
At the beginning of the symposium, the General Manager of Nidec Elevator Components sincerely and enthusiastically introduced Nidec's corporate background, culture and spirit to the Secretary-General and representatives of Chancheng Property Management Association.
Subsequently, the VP of China Sales delivered an in-depth speech and exchange on the "Nidec Elevator Components Renewal and Renovation Solutions":
• Comparison between elevator renewal, renovation and replacement
Renewal focuses on "utilizing old parts through repairs", while renovation emphasizes "function enhancement". Elevator renewal and renovation are upgrades based on the original equipment; choosing Nidec elevators gives new life to existing elevators.
• Elevator renovation characteristics of global buildings
Countries in North America and Europe tend to choose renewal and renovation for old elevators. This approach not only has cost advantages but also protects the original buildings.
• Advantages of Nidec's renewal and renovation
◦ Independent R&D and manufacturing of core elevator components ensure safer and more reliable use for customers.
◦ A century of experience in non-standard customization and a wide range of renovation solutions to meet various customer needs.
◦ Environmental friendliness: The renovation retains existing components in the elevator shaft, such as guide rails, buffers and counterweights, saving an average of over 6 tons of steel per elevator. The adoption of fully computerized microcomputer control and permanent magnet synchronous traction machines reduces power consumption by approximately 50% or more.
◦ By retaining as many original components as possible, the construction time for renewal and renovation is about half shorter than that of installing new elevators. The shortest renovation cycle for a 10-floor elevator is 7 days for delivery and use. (Note: Excluding the time for acceptance and certificate issuance by the Technical Supervision Bureau)
◦ Brand-new car appearance and modern human-computer interaction interface.
Elevators renovated and renewed by Nidec can continue to serve for 15-20 years.
Choice outweighs effort; selecting a high-quality supplier makes renewal and renovation more worry-free and labor-saving.
▲ Partial Nidec renovation cases
After the professional explanation by the VP of China Sales, participants actively raised questions and conducted in-depth discussions on the topic of elevator renewal and renovation, creating a positive and lively atmosphere. Both parties gained valuable insights and ideas by examining maintenance and renovation from the perspective of components.

Visit: Entering the "Technological Heart" in the Workshop
After a round of discussions, the Nidec Elevator team led the guest representatives to form groups, put on safety helmets, stepped onto the blue passage, and visited the intelligent motor manufacturing workshop.
During the visit, the Operation Director of Nidec Elevator Components explained throughout the process: "Our production line integrates multiple independently developed management systems, realizing data-based control throughout the entire process from raw material storage to finished product inspection."
When seeing the scenes of the precision assembly area and intelligent warehousing area, the representatives of Chancheng Property exclaimed: "We never expected that traditional motor manufacturing has become so intelligent! Such an efficient production model is very inspiring for property equipment management."

Ending: Technical Dialogue in a Small Space, Group Photo Before Departure
Before leaving, both parties took a group photo in front of the Nidec office building. This exchange was not only a display of technology but also sowed the seeds of "jointly building a secure community". In the future, Nidec will continue to deepen its presence in the elevator drive field and use more efficient and intelligent solutions to help urban life move forward steadily and upward.
