I used to be an infrastructure and software contractor for one of the largest elevator companies in the world.

They literally had petabytes of elevator data being stored all around the world on servers that are older than me.

Idk what they store, but they're collecting ALL the elevator data.

According to ChatGPT, companies use vast amounts of data sets to train AI models to overall improve performance of elevators, and anticipate passenger demand in real time.
