Integration of IoT, AI, and MCP technology to deliver next-generation elevator management solutions.
Germantown, TN, and Detroit, MI, January 8, 2025 – Lift AI, a leader in IoT and AI-driven solutions for real estate and vertical transportation, has acquired eMCP, LLC, a pioneer in automated maintenance control programs (MCP) for elevators. This acquisition enhances Lift AI’s role as the leading platform driving innovation, transparency, and accountability in the global elevator industry.
This partnership demonstrates Lift AI’s commitment to creating a unified platform that connects real estate owners, operators, and elevator service providers. The addition of eMCP expands Lift AI’s reach by over three thousand elevators and to the professionals who maintain and manage them.
A Maintenance Control Program (MCP) for elevators is a formalized and Code-compliant plan that specifies the maintenance tasks, schedules, and procedures required to ensure the safe and reliable operation of an elevator.
By integrating eMCP’s automated MCP-generation software with Lift AI’s asset management platform, a comprehensive solution can be provided that ensures preventive maintenance is identified and completed, minimizes costly failures, and improves rider safety. eMCP customers report up to 70% fewer equipment-related callbacks, longer equipment lifecycles, and improved ride quality.
A Step Forward in Vertical Transportation Maintenance
“This partnership represents a step change for elevator maintenance,” said Rob Wurth, CEO of Lift AI. “By integrating eMCP’s expertise with Lift AI’s advanced IoT platform, we’re empowering building owners, operators, and service providers to reduce costs, enhance safety, and achieve greater operational efficiency. This is only the beginning as we explore new ways to transform elevator management through technology.”
"Our clients have seen fewer callbacks, longer equipment lifecycles, and better ride quality with eMCP. Joining Lift AI allows us to evolve our platform further, delivering even greater value and setting new benchmarks for the industry,” said John Koshak, Managing Member of eMCP.
