Digital Transformation Process

Digital transformation is a core pillar of our business philosophy.

Our proprietary AKES product configuration software enables rapid, intuitive design for standard product lines. This system integrates seamlessly with automated drawing software and a robust Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform, connecting all operational and manufacturing activities.

Consequently, Quoting – Design – Production – Logistics operate in complete synchronization, optimizing turnaround times and minimizing operational errors.

Our automation infrastructure is built on 3 core pillars:

• AKES: Proprietary product configuration and parameter selection software developed by KOHLER.

• Automated Drawing System: Specialized technical drawing generation for each elevator product line.

• ERP System: A comprehensive management platform connecting the entire manufacturing and business process.

Through long-term strategic partnerships with leading component manufacturers, KOHLER is committed to using only top-tier materials, enhancing durability, operational reliability, and exceptional performance across all elevator systems.

In addition to straightforward, rapid installation, KOHLER elevators excel in ultra-quiet performance, smooth ride quality, superior comfort, and long-lasting equipment lifespan.
