The Problem

Your most critical equipment is also your biggest blind spot

Elevators and escalators are the backbone of accessibility and flow in every multi-story facility. But for most teams, they're also the least visible assets in their portfolio. Most facilities have no idea if a unit is running, degrading, or about to fail until someone reports it broken. The costs include operational disruption, ADA compliance risk, and maintenance partner coordination challenges.

Sound Transit
"When we start seeing an increased number of elevator re-levels, it can be an indicator that there is an issue with the valve . With Knaq, we get ahead of it and turn what would be an emergency repair with extended down time into a minor adjustment or repair on our timeline"

Based on your selections, most teams in similar environments start with a focused initial deployment and expand in phases as operational needs become clearer.

Pricing varies based on equipment types, deployment scope, site complexity, and installation logistics, which is why we typically recommend a brief conversation with an engineer to validate the right approach for your environment.
