In-train dynamic signage innovation
AGC Inc and BiZright Technology Inc have jointly launched ‘dynamic vehicle screens’, which have been installed on Saitama Rapid Railway trains in Japan using AGC-developed infoverre product.
This marks the product’s world debut as in-train signage, with a total of 480 units installed across 60 of Saitama Rapid Railway's train interiors.
infoverre is a glass signage product that uses a special optical resin and lamination technology developed by AGC to attach a display monitor directly onto glass.
Because displays are directly bonded onto the glass surface, reflections and glare can be minimised to levels never possible before with conventional digital signage.
Installation of this product has been confirmed for the trains of Saitama Rapid Railway Line, a major metropolitan route connecting Urawa-Misono Station (Saitama City) to Hiyoshi Station (Yokohama City) on the Tokyu Toyoko line via Tokyo Metro's Namboku and Tokyu
Meguro lines. Existing digital signage will be gradually replaced from mid-November onward, with the new signage going into service in April 2020. In future, AGC and BiZright intend to utilise infoverre to further boost the media value of on-board train signage.
