A state-of-the-art vertical lift machine requires state-of-the-art engineers. Vidir has both. Meet two key members of the Vidir engineering team – Dimitri Caldeira, Director of Engineering, and Brady Palsson, Electrical Technologist.

They stopped by Vertical with Vidir to give their insights on today’s vertical lift machines, the latest trends, and what they’ve engineered for Vidir to differentiate the VLM market.

“Everything these days is integrated one way or another,” Caldeira said. “We have inventory control inside the machines. So, very precise information—real data—is available for whatever needs you may have.”

To keep pace with industry 4.0, Vidir VLMs have the technology to be fully aligned with the future.

Palsson spoke on some of the differentiators he believes set Vidir apart from other VLM space competitors. Unlike some VLMs that could take up to two weeks to install at a location, Vidir strives for an installation period of approximately three days.

“Throughout the industry, we see everybody’s attempt at VLMs have different technologies used, and some of them have advantages and disadvantages,” Palsson said. “By jumping into our servo motor application, we negated a lot of the problems previous manufacturers have had to engineer around. By increasing our accuracy, we can negate a lot of the needs for very expensive positional encoders, etc.”

According to Caldeira and Palsson, the secret to Vidir’s VLM’s success lies in its simplicity, accuracy, durability, and reliability.

“We’re using technology that’s been in place for many years,” Caldeira said. “But the way we’re combining the technology with electrical and automation, that’s what makes it special.”

J.P. Morgan flags diverging multifamily conditions across U.S. markets in mid-2026 outlook

J.P. Morgan flags diverging multifamily conditions across U.S. markets in mid-2026 outlook

Orange County's multifamily market is projected to remain resilient through 2026, with overall vacancy edging up only modestly and workforce housing keeping Class B and C vacancy well below Class A levels. Interest rate uncertainty is pushing owner-operators toward shorter loan terms and variable-rate strategies, while rising operational costs are prompting tighter liquidity management. The asset-class divide—driven largely by concentrated new supply in submarkets like Tustin—is the defining dynamic of the market this year.

  • 01Class B/C vacancy in Orange County stood at 2.9% in Q1 2026, less than half the 6.5% recorded for Class A assets, according to Moody's data cited by JPMorgan Chase.
  • 02Overall vacancy is forecast to rise only slightly, from 4.5% to 4.7%, with effective rents projected to grow 0.9% year over year, matching 2025's pace.
  • 03Rate uncertainty is steering multifamily borrowers toward three-to-five-year loan terms or variable-rate extensions rather than long-term refinancing locks.

Smart buildings become a financial no-brainer as the market races toward $554 billion

Smart buildings become a financial no-brainer as the market races toward $554 billion

Smart IoT-enabled buildings are becoming a financial baseline rather than a premium option, with global deployments projected to reach 115 million by 2026 and the market growing from $141.79 billion in 2025 to $554 billion by 2033. Building Information Modeling is simultaneously shifting from optional tool to standard delivery framework, making smart infrastructure a competitive necessity across design, construction, and facilities management.

  • 01Smart buildings market projected to reach 115 million globally by 2026.
  • 02Market value expected to grow from $141.79B in 2023 to $554B by 2033.
  • 03Rising demand for smart, IoT-enabled building solutions.

Smart buildings become a financial no-brainer as the market races toward $554 billion

Smart buildings are transitioning from optional upgrades to financial necessity as the global market grows from $141.79 billion in 2025 to $554 billion by 2033, with 115 million IoT-enabled structures expected by 2026. Building owners, lenders, and institutional tenants now treat smart capabilities and BIM as baseline standards rather than discretionary features, driving adoption across commercial, logistics, and residential asset classes.

  • 01Smart buildings are increasingly adopting IoT technology.
  • 02The smart building market is projected to reach $554 billion by 2033.
  • 03IoT-enabled structures are expected to hit 115 million globally by 2026.
