In today’s fast-paced world, effective communication is crucial, especially when it comes to public information and safety. MVIS (Mobile Visual Information Systems) stands out as a key player in this arena, providing innovative solutions through their Variable Message Signs (VMS). Let us delve into what makes MVIS and their VMS products so significant.
The Evolution of Variable Message Signs
Variable Message Signs have come a long way from their early iterations. Originally simple boards displaying basic traffic information, modern VMS are sophisticated digital displays capable of conveying real-time data, dynamic messages, and even graphics. MVIS has been at the forefront of this evolution, continually pushing the boundaries of what these signs can do. For example, VMS were originally individual dial up, meaning you program them one by one, which as you can imagine is time consuming. Now with the power of WebStudio, the first VMS programming system of its kind, we can program multiple signs at once, helping us win massive contracts such as the 2012 Olympics’. Meaning the Olympics’, as well as being the forefront of sports, were some of the first users of Multiple VMS programming software as well as the first 5 colour signs.
We are a leader in portable and temporary information systems. They specialise in the design and manufacture of innovative Variable Message Signs and other intelligent traffic solutions. Their products are designed to enhance traffic management, provide real-time information, and improve safety on roads and in public spaces. But, MVIS are not only limited to the Highways sector, over 12 years of innovation we have been able to utilise our products in many sectors such as the Events, Mining and Ports/Airports Sector.
These multi-talented products are diverse and will be as perfect in a festival as they would be roadside or ensuring speed limits are met in Quarries.
