The Story

We assisted a start-up company to develop the control system for their large box truck scrolling sign system. There were 6 signs per truck and each sign held up to 10 displays. The system would control the movement and timing of all of the signs.

Project

Scrolling Sign Truck Controller

Problem

MotionAdz had an idea which had difficult control problems to be solved such as automatically controlling three banks of large-scale scrolling signs mounted in a moving vehicle. Also, they required a clean and simple user interface.

Anidea designed and created a 3 sign scrolling sign controller for mobile truck advertising.

Benefit

MotionAdz has a long term partner in research and development which has helped make them a leader in the mobile advertising market.
