In July 2025, SDYSS Elevator announced a strategic cooperation with a top-tier hospital in Kazakhstan, winning a procurement project for 12 medical elevators. This collaboration marks another major breakthrough for SDYSS in the Belt and Road market after its 2024 factory expansion, demonstrating its technical strength and international service capabilities in the high-end medical elevator sector.
- Project Background and Needs Analysis
Located in Almaty, Kazakhstan, the hospital is a key medical hub in Central Asia with an annual outpatient volume exceeding 1 million. The original elevators, over 15 years old, suffered from frequent failures, high energy consumption (30% higher daily power consumption than new elevators), and narrow carriages (only accommodating 1 hospital bed), severely impacting medical logistics efficiency. The hospital explicitly outlined three core requirements:
- High Reliability & Safety: Compliance with Kazakhstan’s GOST-K 51857-2002 medical elevator standards, featuring dual redundant safety braking systems and intelligent fault warning functions;
- Efficient Logistics Adaptation: Carriage size upgraded from 800kg to 1200kg load capacity, with 1.1m clear width to facilitate rapid passage of medical trolleys and emergency equipment;
- Quiet Operation & Environmental Compatibility: Operational noise below 45dB (ISO 3640 standard), with anti-corrosion coatings and UV sterilization devices for high-frequency disinfection in hospitals.
- Customized Solutions and Technological Breakthroughs
SDYSS provided a comprehensive “hardware upgrade + software empowerment” solution tailored to Central Asia’s climate and medical scenarios:
- Core Component Innovation
Adopted self-developed permanent magnet synchronous traction machines (IE4 energy efficiency), combined with vector frequency conversion control technology, achieving 28% energy savings compared to traditional elevators. The carriage floor uses 304 stainless steel anti-slip material, supporting 1200kg load capacity to accommodate 2 hospital beds and accompanying medical staff.
- Intelligent Operation & Maintenance System
Integrated AIoT remote monitoring platform to collect real-time elevator data (e.g., door opening/closing frequency, guide rail vibration). Abnormalities trigger a three-level alarm (local audio-visual alert + cloud notification + engineer dispatch), with machine learning predicting maintenance cycles to reduce downtime by 70%.
- Environmental Adaptability Design
Added intelligent temperature control systems to ensure stable operation in extreme temperatures (40°C summer/-30°C winter). Carriages include UV sterilization modules automatically activated during empty runs, achieving 99.9% sterilization rate.
III. Cross-Border Implementation & Supply Chain Assurance
Facing inland transportation challenges in Central Asia, SDYSS established a “sea-rail intermodal + localized service” system:
- Logistics Solution
Utilized China-Europe Railway Express (Xi’an-Almaty) for core components, combined with DROYA Logistics’ “express customs clearance” channel to reduce transportation time to 18 days. Carriage modules were locally assembled in Kazakhstan to minimize cross-border logistics costs.
- Certification & Compliance
Products obtained both EAC certification (Eurasian Economic Union) and Kazakhstan’s GOST-K mandatory certification. Additional EMC testing reports ensured compatibility with medical equipment.
- Delivery Assurance
Implemented a “dual project manager” team: Chinese technical experts provided remote installation guidance, while local engineers (trained at SDYSS headquarters) handled on-site commissioning, ensuring 7×24-hour response. The first elevator was operational within 5 days of arrival, 40% faster than industry averages.
- Customer Value & Market Expansion
Post-delivery, the hospital’s equipment manager stated: “The new elevators reduced failure rates from 3 times/month to zero, shortened waiting times by 40%, and improved disinfection efficiency by 50%, significantly easing peak-hour logistics pressure.” Annual cost savings include €28,000 in electricity and €15,000 in maintenance.
SDYSS’ International Business Director noted the project exemplifies the “technology export + localized service” strategy. Future plans include expanding in Central Asian hospitals and airports, with a 2026 target to establish a spare parts warehouse and training center in Kazakhstan, reducing service response time to under 4 hours.
