Most elevators nowadays are equipped with an acoustic system (bell and/or intercom system) for emergency calls. These systems are not suitable for deaf and hearing-impaired people. The European Union has incorporated the equality treatment of disabled persons in its policies and guidelines especially for the public sector. The usual emergency call systems also provide no secure way to prevent false alarms, which cause high costs by summoning emergency teams in vain.

The Austrian Family-run company has a very long tradition in the processing of its own harvested Styrian fruits and wheat into high quality spirits. In this process only water from the own natural and pure spring is added to the alcohol. So for more than 300 years the company holds the right to distill spirits like schnapps, noble brandy, liquors and gin, which are double distilled following the Styrian tradition.

The engineering company is located in the south of Austria and has been active for more than ten years in various water-related projects and now wishes to bring its patented fish lift and lock system into new markets. Fish sluices and fish lifts are currently available on the market but as stand-alone pieces and not in combination. In situations where these state of the art solutions are not suitable, a fish lift sluice as a combination of both can be the solution. Existing fish sluices operated as locks for watercrafts offer no transportation possibility for fish.
