Quote / sample build

Built for networks, not for showrooms.

A metro line runs 80 to 200 displays across environments that share nothing but a timetable. We engineer the hardware that keeps all of them readable, online, and serviceable.

Matched to the zone

Brightness, sealing, and panel technology are specified per location — an underground platform board and a street-level entrance totem are not the same product.

Form factor that fits

Standard 16:9 won't fit a platform-screen-door header or a carriage ceiling. We cut and re-drive stretch-bar panels from full Tier-1 glass.

Specified to survive

Screw-lock connectors, thread-locked fasteners, EPDM gaskets, and in-house optical bonding — because the failure mode that returns a display is rarely brightness.

Eight deployment points

PID applications across the station and the carriage

Every point on the passenger journey needs a different display.

In-Station

Platform departure board

1 · Platform Departure Board

Mounted on the platform edge or under the canopy. A passenger has three seconds to scan, find the train, and pick a platform.

43"–55" standard · 28"–37" stretch bar · 1,000–5,000 nits

Ticket vending machine

2 · Ticket Vending Machine

Handles 4,000+ transactions a day with wet hands or gloved fingers. Touch must register accurately in both.

19"–27" PCAP touch · 500–3,000 nits · Glove-mode firmware

Wayfinding kiosk

3 · Wayfinding Terminal

Longer sessions, map pinch-to-zoom, multi-language. The display must handle smooth gestures and meet accessibility contrast.

32"–43" PCAP touch · 1,500–2,500 nits · Slim 25–35mm depth

Concourse information wall

4 · Concourse Information Wall

High on a departure-hall wall, running departure times, service alerts, and emergency notices in a multi-zone layout.

65"–86" 4K UHD · 2,500–3,000 nits · Metal chassis heat sink

Platform edge strip

5 · Platform Edge Strip

The narrowest display in the station — a slot along the platform edge, 150–200 mm tall max. Stretch-bar is the only answer.

28"–49" stretch bar · 3840×360 to 3840×540 · ~90mm tall

Station entrance totem

6 · Station Entrance Totem

The street-facing identifier — faces 100,000+ lux of midday sun, monsoon rain, and vandalism. The harshest zone.

43"–65" · 2,500–5,000 nits · IP65/66 · IK10 · Solar-resilient

Onboard / In-Carriage

Ceiling route line display

7 · Ceiling Dynamic Route Line

Mounted centre-ceiling, showing the next three stops as a left-to-right line. Curved carriage roofs mean a rectangular monitor won't fit.

Stretch bar · contour-cut · 700–1,500 nits · Rolling-stock vibration rated

Door-side display

8 · Door-Side / Side Panel

Above the door or along the sidewall — a narrow curved surface showing next-stop, transfer, and emergency messaging.

Narrow stretch bar · slim bezel · 700–1,500 nits · Anti-glare

Custom Hardware Solutions

Engineered to your exact specifications — mechanical housing, environmental conditions, and deployment goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on location. Underground platforms and concourses need 1,000 to 1,500 nits. Semi-outdoor covered entrances need 1,500 to 2,500 nits. Fully exposed street-level entrances need 2,500 to 5,000 nits with solar-resilient panels. All high-brightness units must include ambient light sensors for 24/7 dimming to prevent light pollution and protect driver sightlines.

Standard 16:9 panels do not fit the physical constraints of a transit environment. Platform-screen-door headers, ceiling route lines, and carriage interiors are narrow horizontal slots. Stretch-bar panels with custom ratios (1920x360, 3840x360, 1920x720, 2880x480) are cut and re-driven from full Tier-1 glass, so they inherit the same brightness, lifespan, and color uniformity as the standard panel they were cut from.

Standard liquid crystal clears at roughly 70 to 80 degrees Celsius. Direct solar loading pushes a sun-exposed entrance totem past that surface temperature, causing irreversible blackening defects. Solar-resilient panels raise the liquid-crystal clearing point to 110 degrees or above, paired with passive chassis cooling or heat-pipe dissipation. This is mandatory for any PID display exposed to direct solar radiation.

IP65/IP66 is the minimum for front-side protection against high-pressure cleaning and monsoon rain. IK10 (20-joule impact) is mandatory for any ground-level or within-reach installation to withstand vandalism. All sealed IP-rated enclosures must include industrial-grade breather vents to equalize pressure and prevent internal condensation.

Every passing train sends a low-frequency shockwave through the station structure. Over months, friction-only connectors walk loose, solder joints crack, and chassis fasteners back out. The minimum specification is screw-lock HDMI/USB/DC connectors, through-hole board mounting for all external connectors, thread-locking compound on every chassis fastener, and EPDM vibration-dampening gaskets at the panel-to-enclosure interface.

Yes. Standard LVDS, eDP, HDMI, and Ethernet interfaces support plug-and-play integration with major PIS platforms including Siemens, Alstom, and Thales without custom adapters. Dual RJ45 with HDMI loop-through enables daisy-chain across a platform, and RS-232 supports centralized remote management across dozens of units.

MOQ is one unit for samples. Custom samples are built, tested, and shipped within 10 working days, with a technical response within 8 hours of enquiry. Volume production runs at 15 to 25 working day lead time, with batch-to-batch traceability. We support both low-quantity prototyping and high-volume deployment.

We offer flexible warranty options from 1 to 5 years. As an OEM/ODM manufacturer, we provide highly customizable warranty plans for network-scale deployments. We offer 24/7 technical support via WhatsApp and email, remote troubleshooting, and long-term spare parts availability. We commit to 3 to 5 year model availability with stable mechanical dimensions and electrical pinouts.
