Display Technology's display systems are at the heart of the rail and transportation market sector. As the industry drives towards a high-tech connected future, bright and versatile display technology levels up the passenger experience while powerful embedded systems provide meaningful gains in efficiency to operators.
The company has ushered in the rollout of high-definition self-service kiosks into many industry-leading businesses, enabling customers to breeze through situations like checkout and check-in. Furthermore, smart kiosk solutions are supporting businesses to cut costs by decreasing staffing demands, enabling retail firms to be more mobile – advancing scalability.
The traditional kiosk comprises face-to-face contact with clerks. For example, transportation providers such as airports employ staff to manage the check-in of individual travellers. In this pandemic age, any form of close contact puts passengers and staff at risk of infection.
Smart kiosks are a safer way to aid these tasks, lessening contact and opportunities for infection while increasing efficiency metrics like passenger throughput. Smart kiosks are far cheaper to deploy and maintain than clerks, and therefore it increases the capability of firms like airports to scale their capacity organically by installing more kiosks.
From their involvement in fulfilling contracts with many of the world's biggest rail providers, they have discovered that displays play a large part in influencing the passenger experience. Passengers require up-to-date real-time information about train times and destinations, and digital signage can improve the way customers are informed and prepared for their journeys.
