Introducing the next evolution of Schindler PORT Technology and the first ever holistic solution for building transit management. Built on 30 years of innovation and experience, Schindler PORT 4D delivers a complete ecosystem of transit and access terminals, breakthrough integration packages, and planning expertise to realise customer visions and unlock new dimensions in building spaces.
A building is like its inhabitants - living and ever-changing. As a developer, investor, architect or consultant, taking this into consideration will help you design flexible, efficient, and sustainable buildings and create more value for your tenants. Schindler PORT 4D allows your present and future tenants to plan personalised journeys through building spaces, while giving you the tools to effectively and holistically manage the complexity of your building.

Schindler PORT 4D goes beyond vertical transportation and approaches building transit holistically, optimising the passenger journey every step of the way. By considering movement comprehensively, we open new opportunities to improve comfort and convenience while meeting the demands of future building design today. This practical system is the result of great leaps forward in technology over the last few years and adds even more capability. Schindler PORT 4D is modular, totally configurable, and — due to its collaborative approach — almost infinitely scalable.
Let’s have a look at the four pillars of Schindler PORT 4D.
The holistic approach of Schindler PORT 4D guarantees maximum efficiency for your building project. We look at buildings in the context of their urban surroundings, rather than as isolated objects. Our solutions help customers address their most pressing challenges by allowing people and goods to move through a built environment in the most sustainable and efficient way possible.
Schindler PORT 4D is a modular system with components that integrate seamlessly. Select from a range of terminals to find the best solution for your building. Residential or commercial, hotels or hospitals — all tenants and guests benefit from a scalable system that is easily repurposed in response to changing demand.
Integration is one of the primary challenges in modern building design. To help overcome this, we created Schindler CoLab: an open, secure, and modular building integration toolbox that allows you to seamlessly merge Schindler’s pioneering digital services portfolio into your building management and user experience.
PORT 4D offers powerful solutions for the personal mobility and security needs of each of your tenants — leaving you free to focus on the big picture. Key features like the Schindler myPORT App — with integrated access control and visitor management — guarantee your tenants and visitors a seamless, touchless, and hygienic journey through the building.
Schindler PORT 4D is a holistic, modular, personal, and collaborative solution for building transit management.

Schindler PORT 4D solutions can directly contribute to achieving short-term and long-term sustainability goals. Breathe new life into older buildings with increased passenger transport capacity; equip new buildings with modular solutions that evolve throughout a building’s lifecycle; and adapt energy consumption to meet your building’s needs.

Schindler PORT 4D ensures optimised lift group traffic — even during peak times. The unique Schindler PORT ECO Mode makes it possible to reduce a lift system’s energy consumption by adapting service levels to usage. For example, if passenger waiting times fall below a defined threshold, ECO Mode switches non-essential lifts into standby mode.
A substantial amount of energy is saved over the course of a day, thanks to the reduced number of lift trips and increased efficiency. When multiplied over the course of a year, the savings become phenomenal. Because Schindler PORT ECO Mode dynamically monitors the traffic situation in the building, a high level of service is always assured.
Building transit modernisation doesn’t have to affect a building’s day-to-day operations. An existing lift system can be upgraded to Schindler PORT technology using an approach called phased modernisation, which limits the impact on tenants by installing new equipment during off-peak hours. Convert almost any conventional lift system to provide immediate traffic improvement and passenger benefits with minimal disruption.
Phased modernisation reduces disruptions by ensuring that lifts are taken out of service for the minimum required time only. We get the system up and running quickly by installing Schindler PORT before taking lifts offline. These well-planned steps benefit your tenants and visitors by reducing congestion and waiting times and improving overall building transit efficiency.
