Tata Communications to collaborate with Surbana Jurong

To enable connectivity of Surbana Jurong's Lift Monitoring System to Microsoft's Azure cloud platform

Tata Communications is working with Surbana Jurong to equip its Internet of Things (IoT) enabled lifts and escalators with secure, scalable connectivity to Microsoft's Azure cloud platform. Tata Communications, Microsoft and Surbana Jurong will be discussing their collaboration in a keynote panel at IoT Asia on 21 March 2018.

As a key part of its Smart City in a BoxTM solution, Surbana Jurong's Lift Monitoring System enables property management companies and public sector organisations to remotely monitor the safety and maintenance of lifts and escalators.

The IoT-enabled monitoring system uses artificial intelligence tools on a Microsoft Azure cloud platform to predict when a lift or escalator is likely to fail, and trigger an alert for maintenance before a breakdown occurs. Given the critical nature of this operation, Surbana Jurong's Lift Monitoring System uses the highly secure Microsoft Azure cloud platform coupled with Tata Communications MOVE. This IoT connectivity service enables data to be carried over an edge-to-edge encrypted virtual private network (VPN) for maximum reliability.
