For over 13 years, MVIS has been at the forefront of the CCTV industry, providing innovative solutions to help customers monitor and secure their sites. As part of the THL Group, our Research and Development team is committed to pushing boundaries, collaborating with industry leaders, and delivering next-generation CCTV Systems.

The Risks of an Unmonitored Worksite 

An unmonitored site is vulnerable to numerous risks, including financial loss, security threats, and operational inefficiencies. Without a reliable CCTV system from MVIS, your site could be exposed to: 

• Crime – Unsecured sites are prime targets for trespassers, vandals, and thieves. Construction sites alone lose an estimated £800 million annually due to equipment theft. 

• Lack of Deterrence – Visible CCTV acts as a strong deterrent to potential criminals. Without it, your site may be perceived as an easy target. 

• Limited Incident Monitoring & Response – Real-time CCTV monitoring enables quick responses to security breaches and safety incidents. Without it, issues may go unnoticed until it’s too late. 

• Reduced Investigative Evidence – In the event of a crime or accident, CCTV footage provides crucial evidence for investigations and legal proceedings. 

• Compromised Safety – CCTV enhances the safety of employees and visitors by monitoring key areas such as entrances, public zones, and high-security locations. 

• Weakened Access Control – CCTV works alongside other security measures to verify and control site access effectively. 

• Insurance Implications – Many insurance policies require or strongly recommend CCTV systems. Not having one could impact coverage or premiums. 

The MVIS Advantage: Portable, Carbon-Neutral, and Space-Efficient 

MVIS’ CCTV solutions offer a portable, carbon-neutral system with a compact footprint, making them ideal for any worksite. If one location isn’t yielding optimal coverage, the system can easily be relocated without causing space issues.

At THL Group, which encompasses both MVIS and Bartco Australia, innovation is at the core of what we do. Our commitment to delivering innovative Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) solutions is driven by our in-house Research and Development (R&D) teams, who work tirelessly to ensure we stay at the forefront of our industry. By keeping R&D within the company, we unlock significant advantages in both product and software development speed and the continuous enhancement of organisational knowledge. 

Accelerating Product Development 

1. Faster Innovation, Quicker Market Response

One of the primary benefits of having an in-house Research & Development team is the ability to respond rapidly to market demands and technological advancements. The transportation and ITS industries evolve at a fast pace, and our teams at MVIS and Bartco Australia can quickly adapt to changes, ensuring our products stay industry leading. 

2. Seamless Collaboration Across Departments

When R&D is integrated within the company, collaboration between different departments—including engineering, production, and marketing—is significantly more efficient. With MVIS and Bartco Australia working coordinated, there are fewer delays caused by external dependencies or miscommunication, leading to streamlined product development and improved outcomes for our clients. 

3. Full Control Over Quality and Processes

Outsourcing R&D can introduce uncertainties in quality, timelines, and control. By keeping research and development in-house, we support direct oversight over every stage of innovation, ensuring the highest standards are met while minimising risks associated with third-party involvement. This approach allows us to refine our processes and refine products with precision. 

Enhancing Organisational Knowledge and Innovation 

1. Knowledge Retention and Long-Term Expertise

Having an internal R&D team fosters a culture of continuous learning and innovation, where knowledge is kept within the organisation rather than lost to external consultants. This not only strengthens our intellectual capital but also ensures that insights gained from past projects inform future innovations. 

2. Alignment with Strategic Goals

Our Research & Development efforts are directly aligned with THL Group’s strategic aims. Whether it’s developing new ITS solutions, refining existing products, or researching sustainable innovations, our teams work with a clear understanding of both immediate priorities and long-term company goals. 

3. A Culture of Innovation and Talent Growth

Encouraging in-house research fosters a workplace culture that values innovation and continuous improvement. By investing in our team’s growth and development, we attract skilled professionals who are enthusiastic about advancing transportation technology. This not only helps our company but also contributes to the broader industry by driving progress and setting new standards. 

MVIS and Bartco Australia: A Global Collaborative Effort 

While MVIS and Bartco Australia operate in different hemispheres, our Research & Development teams often collaborate to ensure efficiency in product development. Sharing ability and insights across countries enables us to refine our processes, integrate best practices, and ultimately deliver superior ITS solutions to our clients worldwide. 

By using our in-house R&D capabilities, THL Group is not just keeping pace with industry changes—we’re driving them. Our commitment to innovation, collaboration, and excellence ensures that MVIS and Bartco Australia remain trusted leaders in Intelligent Transport Systems for years to come. 

Ensuring England’s Road network remains thriving and safe begins far from the roadside—it starts in the heart of the quarry. Quarries serve as the birthplace of both stone and asphalt, the essential materials that form the foundation and surface of our highways. Stone forms the sturdy base upon which all roads are built, providing the necessary strength and stability, while asphalt creates the smooth, durable layer we drive on. Although only a limited number of quarries produce asphalt, every quarry plays a vital role in supplying the stone critical to road construction. From raw material extraction to the final application, MVIS Variable Message Signs (VMS) support every step of this journey, ensuring safety, efficiency, and seamless operations from quarry sites to roadsides.

The Role of Quarries in Road Construction

Quarries are where the journey of asphalt begins. Here, raw materials are extracted, processed, and transported to be transformed into the smooth, durable roads millions rely on daily. During these operations, MVIS VMS & ITS Products play a key role in ensuring safety and communication. From alerting visitors and staff about loud noises and moving vehicles to directing traffic efficiently within the quarry, MVIS VMS are indispensable tools in managing the bustling activity of these sites.

Streamlining Quarry Operations

MVIS VMS are designed to optimise operations in quarries by providing real-time updates and safety messages to workers and drivers. By reducing congestion, these systems help direct traffic and improve the flow of materials. This not only enhances safety but also increases efficiency, allowing quarries to process and transport asphalt & stone faster, ensuring timely delivery to construction sites.

Whether it’s guiding drivers to weigh stations, cleaning bays, or directing them along designated routes, MVIS VMS ensure that every step is well-coordinated. These signs are programmed to reduce confusion and improve navigation, minimising delays and the risk of accidents. By integrating CCTV and VASS (Vehicle Activated Speed Signs) with ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) for speed monitoring, MVIS takes site safety to the next level. The CCTV systems provide a watchful eye on site activity, while the ANPR technology reads vehicle speeds, helping to identify and slow down road users, ensuring a safer and more efficient environment.

Supporting Asphalt’s Journey to the Road

Once asphalt is ready for transport, MVIS VMS continue to play a pivotal role. Positioned at loading bays and along transit routes, these signs facilitate seamless movement of materials from quarries to construction sites. By providing up-to-date traffic information, journey times, and safety alerts, MVIS VMS help ensure the efficient and secure transportation of asphalt.

At construction sites, where asphalt is laid on to the stone base and transformed into roads, we use daily, MVIS VMS provide critical safety support. Roadworkers can focus on their tasks, assured that drivers are being alerted to slow down and exercise caution. Messages like “SLOW DOWN,” “BE CAUTIOUS,” or “ROADWORKS AHEAD,” programmed through MVIS’ intuitive WebStudio platform, can be tailored to specific needs, ensuring optimal safety.

Adaptable, Reliable, and Easy to Use

MVIS products are built for versatility and durability. Whether in the dusty, rugged environment of a quarry or alongside busy roadworks, their trailer-based VMS solutions are designed to perform. These units are easy to tow and position, making them accessible even in challenging locations. Training is provided to ensure safe operation, from moving the units to programming them for site-specific requirements.

With messages customisable in seconds via WebStudio, MVIS VMS eliminate the need for multiple signs, delivering multiple messages on one unit. This adaptability makes them invaluable across the quarry and highways sectors, addressing site challenges with efficiency and ease.

A Dependable Partner for Safety and Efficiency

MVIS VMS are more than just signs—they are partners in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and success of operations, from quarry sites to construction zones. By streamlining communications, enhancing safety, and supporting operations at every stage, MVIS helps quarries and road networks thrive.

Whether it’s in the extraction phase or during road construction, MVIS VMS ensure that England’s roads are built and maintained with precision and care. From the quarry to the roadside, MVIS remains your trusted partner every step of the way.

• • Each year at Christmas, MVIS help to make the community surrounding them a better place. In recent years, we have hosted movies nights at the Ashgate Hospice, consistently sponsored a star and collected for the Clay Cross Food Bank. This year MVIS are donating clothes and food to Pathways to Chesterfield. Pathways to Chesterfield is a local charity to MVIS’ Headquarters in Matlock. They help to assist people in need throughout the year, not just at Christmas. The staff and volunteers at pathways work to ensure that everyone in their community has a place that they can call home. They are helping the homeless at Christmas. One vision and one mission, to eradicate rough sleeping in the community and to help people without a permanent home to get one. With this journey they keep in touch with their values: – 
    • Never give up on people.

Why Pathways of Chesterfield? 

Why have MVIS dedicated their attention to the homeless of Chesterfield? It’s simple. 

After one weekend in early November. Commercial and Operations Director, Anne Ashman came into the marketing department after going shopping to Chesterfield and seeing the amount of unfortunate people without homes, she decided to send out an e-mail about helping the homeless at Christmas and what is needed and asked people to come in and donate their clothing. 

How Has MVIS Helped? 

On the 11th of December Marketing Executive, Ben Ashman, and Workshop Supervisor, Liam Griffiths, visited the team at Pathways of Chesterfield to deliver clothing collected over the beginning of December, Helping the homeless at Christmas. 

Our dedicated team collected over 6 large bags of clothing and food for the charity from dedicated team members, this will go a long way to help the charity disperse the food and clothing to people in their community. 

The team at MVIS believe it is important to give at times like Christmas when we have so much, and other people have so little. This is why we consistently help charities in their pursuit of helping people who need their services whether it be the end-of-life service at Ashgate Hospice or donating food to the Clay Cross Food Bank.
