New AURO system for the Hublot-Express chairlift

The Auto-Lock system makes a significant contribution to the safety of guests by automatically locking the safety catch during the journey. The lock opens automatically at the right time at the mountain station. Thanks to smart, networked technology, the additional AURO system offers maximum safety using numerous cameras and sensors. As a result, chairlift monitoring can be limited to one station, optimising resources.Thanks to connected technology and artificial intelligence-controlled cameras and sensors, the additional AURO system offers an extremely high standard of safety. This enables autonomous operation without the need for a staffed mountain station.

It is the second chairlift in Switzerland to be modernised with AI-based monitoring. When the systems are triggered, a person in the valley station can assess the situation and continue operation accordingly or request an employee to resolve the situation in the mountain station. Zermatt Bergbahnen is thereby demonstrating its openness to new systems on the market!
