加拿大电梯承包商协会在六月宣布把协会牵头开发的维护控制程序（MCP）项目的合同签给了美国的物联网公司Lift AI。该公司由罗伯沃特创立，总部位于底特律，并在德州奥斯汀设有工程办公室。目前，加拿大电梯承包商协会和Lift AI公司的数据库已经收到了来自多家电梯制造商提供的数据，他们希望有兴趣加入该项目或者有疑问的单位及个人可以联络协会或者罗伯沃特本人。Lift AI创始人罗伯沃特称，Lift AI十分有幸能参与维护控制程序项目，为电梯承包商和其他行业利益相关者提供一个友好的维护控制程序数据库，希望此项工作能为那些致力于推动电梯运行的平稳性及安全性的人们提供帮助。

　　CECA INKS DEAL WITH LIFT AI TO BUILD MCP DATABASE

　　The Canadian Elevator Contractors Association (CECA) announced in June it awarded a contract to build the CECA maintenance control program (MCP) Database to U.S.-based Internet of Things company Lift AI. Founded by Rob Wurth, Lift AI is headquartered in Detroit with an engineering office in Austin, Texas. With many manufacturers already providing information for the database, CECA and Lift AI ask that those interested in participating or with questions, contact CECA or Wurth. "Lift AI is honored to help build a user-friendly MCP database for elevator contractors and other industry stakeholders, and hope the efforts will prove useful for those working to keep elevators running smoothly and safely," Wurth said.
