Elevator and Destination Dispatch Index
Overview & Concepts
BluSKY Elevator + Security Integration
How BluSKY unifies elevators, turnstiles, access control, intercoms, cameras, analytics, and reporting into a single pane of glass. Explains configuration, monitoring, and investigation of the entire elevator + security experience from one interface. Great first stop for positioning and scope. [BluINFO Link] (BluINFO)
Destination Dispatch Elevator Basics
Intro to destination dispatch (DD): grouping riders by destination to increase handling capacity, reduce energy use, and improve experience. Covers asymmetrical “odd floor” travel and how DD reduces false/“ghost” calls from incompatible cars. [BluINFO Link] (BluINFO)
How BluB0X Destination Dispatch Works—and Why It Outperforms Middleware (White Paper)
Deep dive into BluSKY’s native DDE approach: unified real-time control/diagnostics, mobile elevator calls, guided visitor rides, and measured gains (~10–15% faster time-to-destination with mobile + DDE flows). Contrasts direct integration with middleware. [BluINFO Link] (BluINFO)
Why Elevators and Security Need a Single Pane of Glass (Blog)
Explains current siloed journeys (turnstiles vs elevators) and how BluSKY removes friction with personalized DD, one interface, and policy-driven flows. Useful for championing modernization. [BluINFO Link] (BluINFO)
