Mumbai: IT services provider, Patni Computer Systems today said it has partnered with Schindler for development, enhancement and testing services for the latter's double-deck elevator.

Schindler is a leading global mobility company. A double-deck elevator is a revolutionary product designed such a way that two cabins of an elevator are attached on top of one another.

This enables passengers on two consecutive floors to use the elevator simultaneously. The doors of either elevator can be kept closed in cases where a particular floor is not being served.

Patni has designed an efficient load-measurement system, positioning of the deck and managed exceptions such as building sway by high winds, a press release issued here said.

The company has also successfully provided an end-to-end array of development, enhancement and testing services which ensures that the product conformed to the highest safety and technical excellence standards followed by Schindler, the release said.

Patni's dedicated lab for Schindler is based in Mumbai and forms an essential part of the company's RD efforts. This includes creation of complex algorithms as well as hosting of various simulators of Schindler elevators.
