Quality! Why Our Electronics and Controls Work for Decades, Not Years?
In a market where price becomes the primary criterion, there is a temptation and common practice to constantly ask: "How cheaply can this be done?". At SterDźwig, for over 20 years, we have been asking a different question: "How can we do this best?". The answer to this question is the foundation of our engineering philosophy and the reason why the oldest electronic components of our production have been working reliably, continuously, 24/7, for 21 years.
Quality at SterDźwig is a promise of peace and safety for years to come, which we make to our partners. In this article, we will show you what you get when you choose to work with us.
Foundation of Reliability: Automotive & Aerospace Standards
Model Based Design (MBD)
In industries where there is no room for error – automotive and aerospace – the "gold standard" for creating new technologies has been developed. We implemented it in Polish industry 13 years ago as the first production company in the country.
Automotive/Aerospace-Grade Electronics
At the heart of every electronic module we produce are automotive/aerospace-grade microprocessors, optoisolation, and power supply sections. These components are designed to work reliably in extreme conditions for hundreds of thousands of kilometers – in our elevators, they operate in much more favorable conditions, guaranteeing a powerful safety margin.
Software with Safety Certification
We create our code using the same TUV-certified tools that are used to write software for systems requiring the highest level of safety (SIL3) in the aviation and automotive industries. This is the software that controls every electronic module you receive.
Two-Stage Testing
Every solution, before entering production, undergoes rigorous testing. First in computer simulation, and then on professional Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulators – the same ones used by the largest manufacturers in the automotive, aviation, and space industries.
CAN Communication Ecosystem
We have our own CAN communication protocol, developed from scratch for the elevator industry. It is a unified protocol that allows all control system components to communicate with each other. You receive a communication standard over which you and we have full control, and which provides unique diagnostic capabilities in the market.
Components Without Compromise
At SterDźwig, we never compromise on components. We choose proven solutions from the world's best suppliers, guaranteeing you reliability.
We Use "Oversized" Electrical Components
Yaskawa, Fuji, Delta, Omron, LG, LS, Finder, Zettler. We never select components "at the limit". Every element has a reserve of power and durability, which translates into years of trouble-free operation and resistance to harsh conditions.
Reliable Sensors
In our systems, you will find only sensors from renowned global brands such as Balluff and Kuebler, guaranteeing precision and repeatability throughout the elevator's entire life cycle.
Solid Mechanics and Wiring
Galvanized, thick mounting plates, solid control cabinets, and wiring from the best Polish manufacturers with connectors from renowned companies like Wieland or PTR. These are details that are often not visible, but they determine whether a service technician will struggle with the installation or will be able to focus on their work.
Emergency Descent System
We use full sinusoidal inverters, ensuring smooth and safe elevator operation even in the event of a power outage. This is another area where we accept no compromise.
The Conclusion Is Simple. Investment, Not Cost.
We don't compromise on quality because we know you can't afford to either. Every downtime, every failure, and every service intervention that could have been avoided is a real cost to your business and damages the trust of your clients.
By choosing SterDźwig controls, you are not just buying a product. You are investing in peace of mind, safety, predictability, and the lowest possible total cost of ownership (TCO) over the long term.
Proof? Our oldest electronic components have been working reliably, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For 21 years.
Words Are Not Everything. See Proof in Practice.
Our quality philosophy has been validated by over 20 years of market practice and thousands of completed projects. The best proof of our reliability is the trust placed in us by industry leaders across Poland.
