E-Motive Display News - a Halma PR news blog

Elevator display specialist E-Motive has provided bespoke LED displays for stations on the London Underground.

Dewhurst, the elevator component supplier, approached E-Motive following a request from a major elevator manufacturer for a new specification of display. The displays needed to be very bright - to make them easily visible from a distance - and able to show elevator position, upper and lower case letters, as well as both standard and customised messages.

Due to the different elevator car sizes found in the nine stations concerned, the displays also had to be supplied in non-standard lengths of 1.1m and 0.9m; provision was made for a 1.4m version, which has yet to be delivered. E-Motive accomplished this by adapting its existing range of long displays and modifying the relevant software.

“Our client was amazed by the speed of E-Motive’s response,” said Mike Leach, head of European elevator sales at Dewhurst. “Within a week of an enquiry being made they’d been sent a photo, and a week later they received a product sample.”

The displays have been, or are due to be, installed at Edgware, Hendon Central, Golders Green, Finchley Central, Wood Lane, Oakwood, Acton Town, Shepherd’s Bush and Stratford.

Starwood Hotels has installed 96 E-Motive LCD displays at its Luxury 6-star St. Regis Hotel and Residences in Singapore that are scheduled to open on December 20th this year.

Boasting almost 300 oversized hotel rooms and 173 apartments, St. Regis is set in the heart of uptown Orchard Road with excellent access to shopping and entertainment. It has 27 lifts that are used to carry passengers over 23 storeys.

E-Motive supplied St. Regis with 78 sets of the PT9001 high-resolution text displays. The LED serial controlled text indicator system signals floor legends, directional arrows and status messages for passengers waiting for, or travelling in, the hotel elevators. The Text Display Series offer many format options such as scrolling or double row text and customised messages for specific users.

In addition, 8 sets of FS0840 8.4” LCD dual screens and 10 sets of FS1040 10.4” LCD screens were also installed in the building. These lift displays provide passenger information including travelling direction, date and time, status and specific user messages and pictures. Content of the displays can be managed by the building user and have the capacity to go beyond basic lift information with advertisements and logos.

Chris Stoelhorst, Managing Director at E-Motive Display commented, “Our displays are sleek and stylish and very popular with high profile buildings such as this. They help enhance the entire hotel experience and we are delighted Starwood Hotels chose our products.”

The company designs and manufactures the software, electronics and hardware for a wide selection of displays and monitoring systems, ranging from simple dot-matrix directional displays to high-end, full-colour multimedia screens like the EAVIS.

The new ultra-slim Eavis E2 LCD elevator display from E-Motive has multi-media capabilities.

In addition to providing basic lift information to passengers, floor number, travel direction, date and time, temperature and emergency messages, the E2 offers real-time television, internet, DVD and video playback. Advertising is also possible on the Eavis E2, which can be amended at any time with the software provided.

The Eavis E2 is only 20mm deep, allowing installation in areas of limited space. The E2 has low power consumption and configuration software allows end-users to edit screen format and content.

The Eavis E2’s sleek, high-tech appearance enhances building image and elevator experience and typical installations include hotels, airports, government buildings, banks, corporate headquarters and entertainment centres.

Just 20mm thick and requiring less power input than previous models, the displays are very easy to mount, saving time and money for both the installer and the operator.

In addition to floor number, travel direction, date and time, there is a wide range of additional information that can displayed. From enhancing corporate identity within a bank to adverting shops and restaurants within a hotel, it is all possible with the new Eavis E1. You can even add a personal touch when VIP guests are in the building by displaying special greetings messages. Of course, the device can also be programmed to show emergency messages such as lift overload, fire and maintenance.

Typical installations include hotels, airports, government buildings, banks, corporate headquarters and entertainment centres.

As part of a major six year redevelopment, the iconic Cathay Cineplex in Singapore has incorporated E-Motive Display’s multimedia elevator displays in its elevators and foyers.

A full-colour EAVIS 10.4 inch display is installed in each of the three elevators showing, in addition to floor number and elevator direction, film previews, adverts and floor directories. Five monochrome FS1040 displays are also installed in the Cineplex’s foyers, showing elevator direction and floor number.

The Orchard Hotel in Singapore has recently installed 14 multimedia EAVIS elevator displays from E-Motive Display. Two displays are fitted in each of the hotel’s seven elevators, giving building managers complete control over the information being shown to passengers.

The displays in the Orchard feature floor directories, adverts and restaurant information, as well as the date and time, which is automatically updated. If required, they can also be programmed to show live TV feeds, video clips, weather and travel information.
