AV Awards Digital Signage Project of the Year An innovative and dynamic on-board information display system developed by Procyon for First Group passenger transport has won the Digital Signage Project of the year category at the annual AV Awards. The system has been successfully installed in First Group’s new ftr* passenger vehicles in York and is expected to be extended to other towns and cities in the near future. Run by the industry-leading AV Magazine for the past ten years, the awards were announced to an audience of almost 1,000 guests in London’s Park Lane Hilton Hotel and presented by celebrity motoring journalist Quentin Willson. The judges praised the project for attracting new customers to public transport and offering a new communications channel to both local and national organisations. Procyon’s managing director Pat Taylor commented. “ We were delighted to win the award against such stiff competition from major industry names, and it reflects the work we have done to develop simple and easy to use digital signage systems for individual sectors such as passenger transport, hotels and conference centres, education and industry.” Procyon’s d|sign software is used to manage the displays, and the First Group project is believed to be the first dynamic “infotainment” system installed in the UK passenger transport industry with such extensive use of multiple sources of real-time data and pre-configured content.
