And that’s basically it!
But why the upgrade? Elevators have existed before computers, seriously. The Empire State building had elevators when it opened in the 1930s, and it didn’t need “8GB Core i5” nor could it have one. The transistor was invented in the 1950s, to late 1940s.
The labor and materials to design and install an analog elevator control was probably more expensive than an x86 board. Not to mention more failure prone.
I’m sure now AI can build the elevator circuit/controls with lower issues? Then, it can just run?
