Mitsubishi Electric Building Solutions Delivers 123 Elevators
to Large Office Building in ChinaAchieves smooth and efficient operation by applying an AI based group control system

JD.com Headquarters (Second Phase Construction)

TOKYO, August 2, 2022 – Mitsubishi Electric Building Solutions Corporation (MEBS, Head Office:Chiyoda-Ku, Tokyo; President: Tadashi Matsumoto) announced today that Shanghai Mitsubishi Elevator Co.,
Ltd. has delivered 123 elevators for JD.com’s new Headquarters building *1 for second phase construction.
The building is located in Yizhuang Economic Development Zone in Beijing and has a total floor area of
530,000 square meters. Approximately 15,000 people work in the 19-story building complex consisting ofthree parts (A, B and C office buildings), including five underground floors. Since many employees andvisitors come and go every day, the occupation density on each floor is expected to be higher than that of atypical building. Accordingly, shortening the waiting time for elevators was a challenge.
Of the 123 units delivered, 84 are large-capacity elevators that are usually installed in 40 to 50-story buildings.
These units can be operated under a group control system and MEBS’s Destination Oriented Allocation System(DOAS) to efficiently transport large numbers of users at once, easing congestion in the buildings andcontributing to comfortable travel.
Product Features
JD.com’s new Headquarters building is recognized as a smart building with a variety of new cutting-edgebuilding facilities installed, including facial recognition access, IP telephone and web conferencing systems
using a high-speed 5G network, and AI-based building monitoring and smart lighting systems. MEBS issupporting smooth movement within the building by delivering elevators that are compatible with groupcontrol system and DOAS operation.
*1 In addition to the latest smart building equipment, the building is designed with consideration for the environment in accordancewith China's Green Building Assessment (GB standard), which has been in effect since 2006.

Group control system to enhance operational efficiency- This system controls multiple elevators at all times to reduce waiting time and save electricity.
- The introduction of AI maximizes operational efficiency by predicting traffic in the buildings andcontrolling the number of elevators allocated accordingly.

2) Destination Oriented Allocation System (DOAS) to ensure comfortable travel- This system eases congestion in elevator lobbies by distributing passengers according to their destination
floor.
- By holding an ID card over the card reader, users can register their destination floor in advance andboard the elevator without touching the hall button.
MEBS’s Elevator Business in China
China is the world's largest elevator and escalator market, with an annual demand for new elevators andescalators exceeding 900,000 units. Although the growth in units sold has slowed considerably in recent
years due to restrained speculation in the real estate market, moderate expansion is expected to continue
against the backdrop of actual demand for public infrastructure and housing. MEBS will continue to respondto the needs of the Chinese market by providing safe, reliable, and comfortable products and services.
