✅ CARLOS SILVA COMMITMEN: GREATER SIMPLICITY, BETTER INSTALLATION

 

At Carlos Silva, we remain committed to simplifying the installer’s day-to-day work. For this reason, we are pleased to announce that our KDT Evo installations will soon incorporate the new DSM10 board (Multiple Series Derivation).

This innovation has been specifically designed to optimize the installation process:

  • Greater integration: A single DSM10 board groups the connection of three shaft series derivations, replacing three DSE boards.
  • Simplified installation: We optimize space in areas with a high concentration of safety elements, such as the pit, reducing the number of boards and simplifying wiring.

We continue to evolve so that your work becomes faster, cleaner, and more efficient.

✅ A BRIEF LOOK AT OUR HISTORY

 

In 1964, Mr. Carlos Silva founded Carlos Silva SAU with a clear vision: to develop control solutions that combine quality, reliability, and regulatory compliance.

Our activity began in 1969, in Barcelona, manufacturing relay-based control panels. Later, in 1992, together with our engineer Xavier Soret, we took a major step forward by introducing HIDRA Classic, our first modular elevator control system, marking the beginning of our specialization in this sector.

Since then, every milestone has reflected our commitment to technological innovation:

🔹 1964 · Foundation of Carlos Silva SAU
🔹 1969 · Start of operations in Barcelona with relay-based control panels
🔹 1992 · HIDRA Classic, first modular elevator control system
🔹 1996 · Modular, customized, plug-in electrical pre-installations
🔹 1997 · KDT, control system for freight elevators
🔹 2004 · SARLink, remote management via the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
🔹 2011 · HIDRA Crono, high-performance modular system
🔹 2016 · M2CS 1.0, web-based elevator remote management platform
🔹 2020 · KDT Evo, control system for low-speed elevators and freight elevators
🔹 2025 · M2CS 4.0, with enhanced functionalities for maintenance companies

Today, more than 60 years later, we continue to move forward, remaining faithful to the vision of Mr. Carlos Silva: to provide robust, safe, and future-oriented technological solutions for the elevator industry.

We continue to look to the future with the same philosophy that has guided us from day one: quality, technology, and trust in the service of the elevator sector.

NAYAR’S ADVERTISIM DEVICE IS NOW 100% COMPATIBLE WITH CARLOS SILVA’S TECHNOLOGY, OFFERING MORE BENEFITS TO THE END USER

Carlos Silva’s proprietary communication protocol has been incorporated into Nayar’s Advertisim devices, so that they can connect using the communication protocol used in their maneuvers.

Thanks to the success of this compatibility, users benefit from the technology developed by Carlos Silva, as well as the extra quality and design and the online content management platform offered by Nayar.

It was announced at the end of 2022 and has been achieved. The technology companies Carlos Silva and Nayar have completed the total technological compatibility project that, let us remember, they started that same year, benefiting clients from having control of their entire elevator park in a unified way on the same platform (net4machines), also offering , access to Carlos Silva’s M2CS elevator remote management service and all its maintenance tools. After that announcement and with the focus on a collaborative professional career that brings numerous advantages to the elevator sector, both companies opted for a new compatibility core that is now a reality: Advertisim.

Advertisim is Nayar’s own device with real-time connectivity capable of displaying elevator information and advertising content, with centralized remote management on a single online platform, regardless of the country in which the user and/or the device are located, allowing provide information to the user that guarantees an excellent passenger experience; having also achieved a product completely integrated into the button panel. Advertisim is 4G, and is also compatible with 3G, Wi-Fi and and Ethernet. Currently and thanks to this joint project, the compatibility of Advertisim with Carlos Silva’s maneuvers has been completed.

In the words of José Luis Sanchis, CMO of Nayar: “After a period of collaboration and integrations we have achieved an important milestone thanks to the efforts of both companies, which is the integration of our Advertisim product into new products for new installations or modernizations of the hand of Carlos Silva. What we have achieved is that all the functionalities that Advertisim presents are absolutely compatible with the information from Carlos Silva’s painting. In this way, the client benefits from the technology developed by Carlos Silva during these years, since they can view it on the screen – they can see information on floors and regulations, special signs or alerts, personalized notices, headlines, weather information, images, videos or multimedia news, among others; also counting on the design, image quality and a management platform that the Nayar team has developed over the last ten years. The client can use this platform, Advertisim Manager, through online access and transmit all these advantages to the end client, who alone can manage the contents of the multimedia screen.”

A milestone that reinforces the commitment of both technology companies to continue taking advantage of common synergies to provide the elevator sector with technologies capable of meeting the challenges of the global market. For his part, Josep Corrons, CEO, Executive of Carlos Silva, indicates: “We are aware of the complexity of managing the maintenance of a fleet of elevators from different manufacturers, each of them with their remote access applications, and precisely because This is why we offer the M2CS service for telemanagement of elevators equipped with our HIDRA Crono, KDT Evo and HIDRA Classic controls, which, in addition to the multiple functionalities, also offers great interconnection capacity with other remote management platforms such as net4machines (n4m) from Nayar, with whom we share the objective of offering flexible, versatile and innovative solutions to the sector. The compatibility and integration achieved with Nayar’s Advertisim devices is one more step towards this objective shared by both companies, in this case focused on simplifying the tasks of configuring information related to the elevator and offering elevator occupants more indications. complete and coherent. We know that the maintenance of an elevator park is still complex, but with Nayar and Carlos Silva it may be a little less so.”

PLUG AND PRAY?… NO MORE … JUST PLUG AND QR

We know that commissioning a lift is not an easy task. There are many electromechanical, electrical and electronic elements that make up a lift and all of them end up connected in the control panel.

In those first moments any help is good and now, if our ARM module has a QR code on the registration data sheet, we can obtain it in two simple steps:
1) Connect the ARM module in a high place with good signal coverage and wait less than 1 minute for the module to connect (amber or green SIGNAL LED and steady green LINK LED).
2) Scan the QR code of the ARM module registration sheet with our mobile phone, click on the link and we can use the M2CS tools in this lift (Monitor, Settings Console, Invitation…).

We can continue to use this form of access for 30 days and before this period expires, we must register our module in M2CS and we can use our username and password as before, or use another form of access…

What’s new in M2CS 2.1

If M2CS 2.0 focused the changes on tools to help lift maintenance companies in their functions, 𝗠𝟮𝗖𝗦 𝟮.𝟭 aims to provide maintenance companies with tools to reach end users (neighborhood communities, residents or other users who frequently use the same lift and wish to be informed of its status). With these tools, maintenance companies that want to use them will be able to demonstrate to their customers the efficiency of their service.
 
✅ 1 – New tool for maintenance that allows you to record very quickly an intervention carried out on the lift to facilitate future cause-effect analysis.
 
✅ 2 – Tool for the neighborhood community, residents or frequent users, in the form of a web application that will allow the user to be informed of the state of the lift and the interventions carried out by the maintenance company.
 
✅ 3 – Lift usage report: journeys made, service rate, maintenance interventions, usage per floor.

HOW TO USE THIS ANNOYING FILTER?

In the Events FILTER tab, all the different events that each lift has registered appear and we can mark the ones we want to analyze in the other views. But there are a lot of events and we don’t know what we are looking for… THIS ISANNOYING!!!!
Let’s be calm! The M2CS wizard simplifies our work in one click by selecting the type of events we want to analyze from the drop-down menu. This action automatically marks the event categories that correspond to the type of search. And with the categories marked, we can add or remove them at ourdiscretion.
Next, we can leave all the lift subsystems marked or leave only the ones we want to analyze. And M2CS has already selected all the events that meet our search criteria. Now we select the analysis period and the last day of the period and… APPLY… After a few seconds of waiting we can choose the view that best shows us what we want to see.
