When developing KONE Residential Flow, we interviewed more than 200 developers, facility managers, and building residents around the world to understand their challenges and needs related to people flow in residential environments. We learned that many people face challenges with simple tasks like opening the door when carrying groceries or receiving deliveries. KONE Residential Flow takes the stress out of these everyday situations and makes arriving home more intuitive.
The solution brings more flexibility and convenience for building owners and facility managers too, because they can easily share building information and manage access rights from anywhere. By making a building the smartest on the block, KONE Residential Flow also helps to improve its value
