Q: When we talk about digital transformation, what are your key priorities to address the need of the customers?

As enterprises look at opportunities for digital transformation, display technology and digital signage should be a big part of their thinking.

While artificial intelligence, intelligent apps and blockchain might be the trending technologies but good audiovisual (AV) has proved again and again to be a powerful way to streamline operations, spur collaboration and deliver innovative customer experiences.

Q: There is a great demand in India when we try to address the Smart Cities, what are initiatives you have planned to undertake, in this price sensitive market?

Information screens for cities are visual communication platforms, specially designed to broadcast messages and advertising in urban environments. The outdoor screen technologies allow their control and management from a single administration panel. 

Informative screens are increasingly present in urban environments. Using a LED screen to enhance visual communication is one of the most successful trends in the field of advertising. Within SmartCities, a LED screen is a fundamental tool to communicate with pedestrians and drivers. Unilumin screens offer endless possibilities to communicate alerts, optimize traffic, broadcast advertising, cultural promotions and so much more.

Being exposed to inclement weather, the screens must be resistant and perfectly readable, even under the bright sunlight. This is the only way to guarantee the best performance during continuous use.
