Sharp NEC Display Solutions – Transportation Solutions

On the route to net zero, Europe’s aviation sector is set for an ambitious, yet clearly defined decarbonisation pathway, where urgency and collaboration are critical success factors.

With a target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, Sharp/NEC presents ‘A Lasting Vision’; a sustainable pathway guided by the association between high product quality and long-life durability.

In 2022, Sharp Corporation celebrated its 110th anniversary. Its founder, Tokuji Hayakawa, established a metalworking shop in Tokyo in 1912 inventing the “Ever-Ready Sharp Pencil,” a twist-type mechanical pencil that would become the origin of the corporate brand.

Waiting. We’ve all been there. Waiting for an appointment. Waiting for a meeting. Waiting for a coffee. Waiting for a train. . . Waiting is a fact of life and many organisations have embraced digital signage to reduce the perceived wait time. Content which both entertains and informs helps to ease anxiety and reduce strain on staff. The opportunity to influence brand perception and gain advertising revenue also cannot be ignored.

Digital signage opens up limitless opportunities for companies to present their messages in a compelling way, something that many organisations have already recognised.

The world of digital signage has changed at lightning speed in recent years. Today, anyone looking to present high-impact content has a vast array of choices.

With a size, shape, features, and price point matching any application requirement, with LED from Sharp/NEC you won’t ever have to compromise on quality.

Content integrity is critical to a successful video wall system. Whether its news feeds or video streams, or any number of complex data sources, you want to be in complete control of where and how it is presented. Hiperwall’s Co-Founder and Chief Scientist, Dr Stephen Jenks, explores the many content integrity benefits and features of Hiperwall’s latest video wall software.

Take action toward a sustainable future for the planet and for your business.

Europe has annouced its plan to be the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. 

When you bring home your brand-new car, not only do you expect it to look good, you expect it to give you reliable performance, day after day.

When you are responsible for recommending, specifying or budgeting for your company’s, or your client’s AV deployment, you will want to make safe choices and sound decisions.

Many are planning technology overhauls to carry them into the next decade

Providing choice and flexibility to our customers through an open and modular approach is a key design strategy at Sharp/NEC.

Your new control room system meets core operational requirements and is projected to achieve a healthy ROI based on your NEC visual displays and Hiperwall control software thanks to its low TCO.

The term ‘fit for purpose’ at first glance may not seem overly inspiring! It’s used to describe how an object is capable of performing the task it was designed to fulfil.

As Europe feels its way out of quarantine, NEC’s Filip Cogghe sees digital signage as a vital enabler to increasing passenger confidence.

Putting the System Integrator in control

At the design stage of any product, there’s a lot to think about in terms of the materials you might use. 

Nostalgia meets state-of-the art LED technology

Two new NEC LED displays replace outdated FIDS to benefit from long-life energy-efficient operation whilst maintaining the nostalgic ‘split-flap’ look and sound of yesteryear.

The RATP is using dynamic large format content to enhance the passenger experience.

The RATP, Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens, is the world's third largest urban transport operator controlling part of the public transport network in Paris and its suburbs.

Innovation strategy with LED eye-catcher

Germany’s largest airport never stands still. More than 60 million people a year pass through here at what is one of the most significant international aviation hubs.

Long life, low TCO, full safety

Reducing the cost of ownership whilst delivering an enhanced experience for visitors in the arrival’s hall has been achieved using dvLED technology from Sharp/NEC.

Complete digital signage solution with active fire safety

Hamburg is home to the oldest airport in Germany – and also one of the largest. Hamburg Airport welcomes around 17 million passengers and handles around 22,000 tons of air freight every year, acting as an intermodal hub in the north of Germany. As in other critical infrastructures, all of this results in strict health and safety requirements. The airport needs sophisticated technology, especially when it comes to fire safety – and its digital signage solutions are no exception. 

Large Surface LED Advertising

To draw attention in a large, brightly lit space; you need a large, brightly lit presence. At Munich Airport Terminal 1, Sharp/NEC dvLED technology creates an uninterrupted ~5 by 3 metre image presenting content in high brightness and high contrast. A presence that cannot be ignored.

New FIDS: First-Class Visualisation in 24/7 Operation

Passenger information systems provide guests and passengers with important information about their entire airport visit: from checkin and boarding, to departures and arrivals. Their reliability is a key component for smooth airport operations. To keep guests up to date at all times, SITA Airport IT GmbH at Düsseldorf Airport relies on Sharp NEC Display Solutions.

From monitoring to managing – critical control of transport networks

Operational 24/7, the Motorway Traffic Control Centre receives multiple live data feeds from Dublin’s road and tunnel network. A vast 15 metre long NEC video wall provides operators with instant access to information as they maintain safe and efficient traffic management.

100% dependable digital signage

Information displays are absolutely essential at airports; passengers need instant access to flight, check-in and boarding information in all areas – and they also want to be entertained as they wait for their flight. The Manfred Rommel Airport in Stuttgart uses flight information systems, video walls and displays developed by NEC Display Solutions to keep its passengers up to date.

Digital advertising: long-life reliability

Providing long-life reliability, NEC displays at Hamburg Airport remain fully functional even after an extended 50,000 hours of service. A digitalization upgrade could not have gone more smoothly when transitioning to NEC’s latest generation technology.

NEC provides new displays and consultancy for a better passenger experience

Billund Airport’s existing Flight Information Display System (FIDS) was showing its age. Billund chose NEC to provide new display technologies and in-depth consultancy to transform the passenger experience and deliver new revenue opportunities.

High bright outdoor passenger information

Delivering an enhanced passenger experience goes way beyond the terminal building encompassing the entire journey to and from the airport. Visitors traveling through Schiphol Airport via bus are benefiting from real-time timetable information easily readable even in sunlit locations to ease their onward journey.

Improving passenger satisfaction whilst reducing costs

Airports are constantly challenged to offer an efficient proposition to its passengers, minimising confusion or anxiety during the travelling experience, whilst remaining profitable and attractive. NEC’s display innovation helps ensure airports are one step ahead of travellers’ needs as demonstrated by a recent upgrade at Heathrow Airport.

In order to provide modern and innovative digital out-of-home media at Düsseldorf Airport, and to offer the best possible visual advertising space to companies, the DUS AD BOARD project upgrades the arrivals areas with an innovative NEC digital out-of-home solution which is easily controlled from a central location.

EMPOWERING CABIN CREW USING INTERACTIVE TOUCH TECHNOLOGY

Royal Dutch Airlines, better known as KLM, is the flag carrier airline of the Netherlands. With a home hub at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport, KLM operates scheduled passenger and cargo services to more than 90 destinations worldwide.

DISPLAYING FLIGHT INFORMATION IN FULL HD CLARITY

Munich Airport is one of the largest transport hubs in Europe; about 39 million passengers passed through it in 2013. A clear, consistent information system for passengers is essential and all digital signage solutions should provide clear and visible messages. This applies especially of course to flight information displays as they provide crucial communication essential for smooth and timely traveller transition.

IMPROVING THE PASSENGER EXPERIENCE

As part of a multi-million pound investment project aimed at improving the passenger experience ahead of the busy summer season, the Isles of Scilly Steamship Company installs a digital signage solution aboard the passenger ferry Scillonian III and at Land’s End Airport.

FACILITATING A CLEAR AND RELIABLE PASSENGER INFORMATION SYSTEM

ENHANCING THE PASSENGER EXPERIENCE THROUGH DIGITAL ADVERTISING

Employing digital communication methods to engage with its customers and enhance the passenger experience, Eurostar International Ltd contracted JCDecaux Airport to install and manage a digital screen advertising network at its iconic London home using NEC public displays.

INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE

The company has therefore placed its trust in high-quality LC public displays from NEC Display Solutions’ MultiSync® P series for the new Airport TV and for the visitor guidance and management information systems.
