Ynvisible to develop e-paper-based digital signs
Ynvisible Interactive announced a collaboration with Waypoint Transit Solutions focused on bringing cost-effective, real-time, physical transit information signs to cities and agencies that could not previously afford such infrastructure. Together, both companies intend to bring to market transit information solutions based on e-paper display signage to bus stations.
The collaboration focuses on enhancing the commuter experience by delivering real-time updates on arrival and departure times, and other essential transit information. Ynvisible’s energy-efficient, reflective e-paper technology stands out for its low-power consumption and readability in various lighting conditions, making it an ideal solution for sustainable, user-friendly, easy-to-maintain signage solutions. Waypoint has placed an order for a limited quantity of customised e-paper displays, for testing and validation, and is looking to potentially order quantities of more than 20.000 units when the product is fully ready.
"Waypoint is developing flexible, low-cost, real-time arrival signs that can be installed at far more bus stops than current options. To do this, we needed a low-cost, customisable, e-paper solution that performs well in many conditions, which led us to Ynvisible." says Ryan Johnston, CEO of Waypoint Transit Solutions.
By leveraging Ynvisible’s cutting-edge digital display technology, this collaboration will enable digital signs that consume minimal energy, while allowing useful updates for commuters. This energy-efficient technology will provide cities with a forward-thinking solution to manage real-time information, while promoting sustainability.
"Digital signage is a key platform for us, and we’re thrilled to see a growing number of businesses exploring e-paper display solutions in this market. We are looking forward to working with Waypoint Transit Solutions to develop a cost-effective, eco-friendly digital signage solution for bus stations, and seeing this product across cities and countries around the world." says Keith Morton, VP of Sales & Marketing at Ynvisible.
Ynvisible produces cost-effective, low-power, sustainable e-paper displays fit for off-the-grid, remote and/or IoT devices that require low energy consumption. Their work in digital signage can be replicated for a variety of applications, from solar-powered signage to retail and public information signs, to disaster response equipment.
On 5 December 2024 at 4pm (CET) / 10am (EST) Ynvisible will host a webinar with a live Q&A for anyone interested in their development of e-paper technology. Registration and more information can be found here.
