Your Competitive Advantage:
When Standard Control Isn't Enough

Most control equipment available on the market consists of closed systems whose software is created thousands of kilometers away from the realities of the Polish market. They work perfectly – as long as everything is 100% standard. The problem appears when you need to go beyond the schema.

• Lack of modification possibilities: The software is closed. Any change in operating logic is impossible.
• Limited support: The distributor has no access to the source code, so their ability to help with atypical problems is zero.
• Need for expensive mechanical changes: Instead of adapting the software to existing infrastructure, you are forced to make costly replacements of mechanical components to fit the controller's limitations.

As a result, your company must give up potentially profitable but non-standard projects. Your development is hampered by the limitations of the technology you use.

At SterDźwig, there are no "black boxes" because we are the authors of the software – from the main controller, through cabin electronics, floor stations and displays to communication modems, protocol converters, amplifiers and CAN distributors. This fundamental difference gives us, and therefore you, almost unlimited possibilities.

Here are a few examples of real problems we solve thanks to full code control:

• Non-standard Hydraulic Elevators: We adapt the control logic to any, even the oldest and most atypical valve block, saving your client tens of thousands of dollars on replacing the entire unit.
• Freight Elevators with Special Requirements: We implement complex dependencies, non-standard travel priority, safety catch handling, or integration with industrial automation in production facilities.
• Hospital Elevators with Atypical Requirements: We implement travel handling rules according to the requirements of Infectious Disease Departments.
• Special Logic for Emergency Services: We design non-standard elevator handling scenarios during fires that go beyond the rigid framework of standards.
• Historic Elevators: We implement the recommendations of heritage conservators who prohibit replacing elevator components with modern elements compatible with contemporary control systems.
• Individual Solutions for Users: We create unique voice messages or non-standard elevator operating modes such as: calling directly to apartments or calling a selected elevator in a group of elevators: passenger + freight.

Our flexibility is not just a technical feature. It's a powerful business tool that gives you three key advantages:

1. Take on Projects That Competitors Avoid

You gain the ability to seamlessly execute complex projects that scare away other companies. You become specialists in "difficult cases," which allows you to dictate higher margins and build a unique market position.

2. Become a Hero to Your Client

Instead of telling the client "it can't be done" or "everything needs to be replaced," you say "we'll find a solution." The difference in how your company is perceived is enormous. You build a relationship based on trust and real problem-solving.

3. Build the Image of a True Expert

Cooperation with us is knowledge transfer. By implementing atypical projects with us, you build competencies that make your company not just a service provider, but a true technical advisor in the elevator industry.

Our ability to rapidly and flawlessly adapt software doesn't come from nowhere. At its foundation lies a unique, two-stage testing process, borrowed from the most demanding industries such as aviation and automotive.

Before any new software reaches the site, it undergoes rigorous testing in our laboratory that eliminates all risk.

Stage 1: Simulation on "Digital Twin"

First, in a 100% virtual environment, we test the software logic itself. We run simulations on the "digital twin" of the elevator, checking how the code will behave in every imaginable situation – from normal operation to atypical usage scenarios.

Stage 2: Hardware Test on "Living Organism"

After successfully passing simulation tests, we load the software and connect the component to our real-time hardware simulator – an advanced device that mimics a real elevator by providing signals from the drive, doors, buttons, and sensors. This way we test not only the code, but the real cooperation of software with physical electronics.

This is a fundamental difference: we don't experiment on-site at your client's location. We conduct full testing in our laboratory. This gives you and your clients absolute peace of mind and guarantee of safety and absolute reliability.

Full control over code isn't just a technical detail – it's the ability to execute projects that no one else in Poland can undertake.
