Cyient inks agreement with thyssenkrupp Elevator

IT firm Cyient, formerly known as Infotech Enterprises, today said it has entered into a long-term agreement with thyssenkrupp Elevator, to support its MAX platform.
MAX is the world's first real-time, cloud-based predictive maintenance solution and a game changer for the elevator industry.
Cyient's advanced analytics and big data solutions will be integrated into MAX to help deliver predictive maintenance solutions, a release said.

Cyient will develop algorithms and integrated solutions to leverage data from thyssenkrupp's "things" - its elevators, and enhance thyssenkrupp's ability to diagnose potential problems and deliver superior service.

Krishna Bodanapu, Managing Director and CEO, Cyient said, "Our collaboration will enhance thyssenkrupp's competitive advantage in the elevator industry with the help of advanced analytics and big data solutions."
Andreas Schierenbeck, CEO of thyssenkrupp Elevator, said "Building on our collaborations for MAX with Microsoft and Vodafone, we are glad to have found another strong partner for this solution in Cyient.
"We are confident that their expertise in analytics will help to further develop MAX's competencies, supporting our 24,000 plus technicians in the field and taking elevator service into the digital era.
