Why elevator integration decides everything in a hotel
In most verticals the robot picks itself by the job. In a hotel, the elevator picks it. A room-service robot that runs only the lobby and the ground floor is a demo; one that calls and rides the elevator to a guest floor is a service. That integration depends on the elevator’s controller, the building’s low-voltage wiring, and a secure handshake between the robot and the lift - it is not a setting you flip on the robot.
This is the part a bare-OEM install quietly leaves to the hotel’s engineering team and the elevator vendor to figure out. We treat it as the first question of the deployment: we confirm what your specific elevator stack supports, scope the integration, and only commit to a multi-floor route once it is real - never promise every floor and then strand the robot in the lobby.
