Product Introduction: The smart directional sign is an innovative product combining mechanical engineering and the Internet, and is a star product for next‑generation public guidance and brand display. Based on the intelligent hardware of a multi‑functional smart pole, it integrates outdoor high‑brightness LCD screens, smart motors, digital signage, and other hardware. With a backend that incorporates a 3D map engine and map guidance software, the intelligent rotating arms point users in the correct direction and display the actual distance, recreating the intuitive experience of asking for directions. It achieves fool‑proof navigation through innovative software and hardware, delivering the most traditional yet highly effective wayfinding experience.

Description

The Sanqian smart signpost (also called an intelligent wayfinding sign) is a smart guidance device based on a multifunctional intelligent pole. By combining mechanical engineering with Internet technology, it delivers a revolutionary guidance experience. Its intelligent guiding arm can rotate 360° without blind spots, supports massive destination information management, and features a high‑definition interactive touchscreen that provides user‑friendly query services. With innovative hardware‑software integration and a fool‑proof navigation mode, it not only offers the most effective wayfinding experience but also meets the demand for large‑scale information publishing in the digital age. This device integrates modern information functions such as guidance, navigation, shopping assistance, interaction, big data collection, and cloud computing analytics. Simply tap your destination on the screen, and you get the best route. The smart signpost can not only adjust its directional guidance as the destination name changes but also display the distance and indicate whether to turn left or right. With multiple arms capable of 360° rotation without blind spots, all data communication is completed via 4G or WiFi, and all operations can be performed remotely from a computer.

Smart Signpost Current Status of Guidance Systems in Transportation Hubs

  1. Inability to meet guidance needs
    Traditional signs provide incomplete information, only conveying limited nearby destinations without global information queries. They are easily overlooked and can display very limited content. They are nearly useless for users with poor sense of direction. Apps like Gaode Maps and Baidu Maps cannot provide navigation in private indoor spaces.

  2. High pressure on guidance staff
    Passengers are often in a hurry, and traditional signs cannot interact with them. Passengers have to turn to service staff, but stations are large, staff are limited, and they are usually only located in central areas, leading to a poor passenger experience.

  3. Inability to meet convenient maintenance needs
    When station environments change, traditional signs cannot be updated in real time, causing inconsistencies between guidance information and the actual environment. Updating content – from design to production, approval, and implementation – is a long, inefficient process.

  4. Inability to meet emergency guidance needs
    Emergency evacuation directions are not sufficiently three‑dimensional or intuitive.
