Elevators should talk to their passengers — announcing floors, warning when doors are closing, and informing during fire alarms. But the aging voice modules found in many existing elevators are hard to update, limited in their message libraries, and often no longer available as spare parts.
Valkyria is Nelox AB’s answer: a modern, compact carrier board based on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, capable of holding up to 150 WAV files — everything from floor announcements and door warnings to fire alarm messages in any language. The unit connects to the elevator’s existing CANopen bus and replaces the old module without requiring new cable runs.
Configuration is done through a built-in web UI — no special tools, no proprietary software. The technician opens a browser, uploads audio files, sets the node ID, and clicks save. Done.
Features
- Up to 150 WAV files — floor announcements, door warnings, fire alarms, information messages
- CANopen bus — connects directly to the elevator’s existing bus without rewiring
- 16-channel CAN relay — robust signal handling for complex installations
- Configurable web UI — change audio, volume, and node ID directly in the browser
- Any language supported — swap the entire message library without hardware changes
- Compact form factor — fits inside existing enclosures and installation spaces
- Industrial quality — built for continuous operation in demanding environments
Who it’s for
Valkyria is designed for elevator service companies modernizing existing lifts. Instead of replacing the entire control system when a voice module fails or goes out of production, Valkyria is installed as a direct replacement. It saves time, materials, and costs — while giving the customer a better product than the original.
