Lift communications systems comprising wall-mounted displays and methods of using and configuring the same
Lift communications systems, wall-mounted controls, and methods of using and configuring the same are disclosed. A lift communications system includes one or more lifts, each one of the one or more lifts is movable within a space. The lift communications system further includes a wall-mounted control coupled to a wall of the space. The wall-mounted control is configured to communicatively couple to the one or more lifts via a wireless connection. When the wall-mounted control is communicatively coupled to a lift of the one or more lifts, the wall-mounted control is configured to direct operation of the lift and receive data from the lift.

one or more lifts, each one of the one or more lifts being movable within a space; and
a wall-mounted control coupled to a wall of the space, the wall-mounted control configured to communicatively couple to the one or more lifts via a wireless connection,
wherein, when the wall-mounted control is communicatively coupled to a lift of the one or more lifts, the wall-mounted control is configured to direct operation of the lift, receive data from the lift, and provide, via a user interface, one or more movement controls based on potential movement parameters of the lift that are determined from the data.
2. The lift communications system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a remote control communicatively coupled to the wall-mounted control, the remote control programmed to selectively operate the lift via the wall-mounted control.
3. The lift communications system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a remote display communicatively coupled to at least one of the wall-mounted control and the one or more lifts, the remote display providing information pertaining to operation of the one or more lifts, wherein data pertaining to the operation is generated by the one or more lifts and transmitted to at least one of the wall-mounted control and the remote display.
4. The lift communications system of claim 1 , further comprising a server computing device communicatively coupled to at least one of the wall-mounted control and the one or more lifts, the server computing device configured to store and provide information pertaining to operation of the one or more lifts.
5. The lift communications system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more lifts is a rail-mounted lift.
6. The lift communications system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more lifts is a mobile lift.
7. The lift communications system of claim 1 , wherein each one of the one or more lifts are configured to communicatively couple to the wall-mounted control via a network.
8. The lift communications system of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more lifts are configured to communicatively couple to the wall-mounted control via a direct connection.
9. The lift communications system of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more lifts are configured to communicatively couple to the wall-mounted control via an access point.
10. A lift communications system comprising:
one or more lifts, each one of the one or more lifts being movable within a space;
a wall-mounted control coupled to a wall of the space, the wall-mounted control configured to communicatively couple to the one or more lifts via a wireless connection, wherein, when the wall-mounted control is communicatively coupled to a lift of the one or more lifts, the wall-mounted control is configured to direct operation of the lift;
a remote control communicatively coupled to the wall-mounted control, the remote control programmed to selectively operate the wall-mounted control; and
a remote display communicatively coupled to the wall-mounted control and the one or more lifts, the remote display providing information pertaining to operation of the one or more lifts,
wherein:
data pertaining to the operation of the one or more lifts is generated by the one or more lifts and is transmitted to the wall-mounted control and the remote display, and
the wall-mounted control provides, via a user interface, one or more movement controls based on potential movement parameters of the lift that are determined from the data.
11. The lift communications system of claim 10 , further comprising a server computing device communicatively coupled to at least one of the wall-mounted control and the one or more lifts, the server computing device configured to store and provide information pertaining to operation of the one or more lifts.
12. The lift communications system of claim 10 , wherein at least one of the one or more lifts is a rail-mounted lift.
13. The lift communications system of claim 10 , wherein at least one of the one or more lifts is a mobile lift.
14. The lift communications system of claim 10 , wherein each one of the one or more lifts are configured to communicatively couple to the wall-mounted control via a network.
15. The lift communications system of claim 10 , wherein each of the one or more lifts are configured to communicatively couple to the wall-mounted control via a direct connection.
16. The lift communications system of claim 10 , wherein each of the one or more lifts are configured to communicatively couple to the wall-mounted control via an access point.
17. The lift communications system of claim 1 , wherein the wall-mounted control is battery powered and removable from a mount.
18. The lift communications system of claim 1 , wherein the lift of the one or more lifts comprises a battery and the wall-mounted control is configured to display information relating to the battery based on the data from the lift.
19. The lift communications system of claim 1 , wherein the user interface comprises controls for performing an emergency stop of the lift.
20. The lift communications system of claim 1 , wherein the user interface comprises controls for resetting the lift.
