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