Smart city pilot projects are a high-risk entry point for any technology provider. A solution provider in Thailand won a contract to deploy smart bus stop displays at Sapan Lueang in Pathum Thani—a pilot that would determine whether the city expanded digital signage across its entire transit network. The challenge: 6 units with custom software functions, sensor integration, and remote monitoring, all at a scale small enough that most suppliers wouldn’t prioritize the project.
Project Snapshot
| Client type | Solution provider |
|---|---|
| Project location | Sapan Lueang Smart Bus Stop, Pathum Thani, Thailand |
| Aplicación | Bus stop |
| Completion / shipment time | February 2025 |
| Project quantity | 6 pcs |
Project Challenge
Pilot projects are inherently difficult to support because the hardware is customized, the software requirements evolve during development, and the order quantity doesn’t justify standard supplier attention. The client needed custom software functions integrated with hardware sensors—not a standard product, but a proof-of-concept that had to work reliably from day one to unlock mass-production orders.
MWE Solution
MWE implemented the custom software requirements through the OMC platform, which already supported the sensor integration and remote monitoring the client needed. The 6-unit deployment included 4 x 43-inch and 2 x 32-inch outdoor wall-mounted displays with fan cooling and 2500-nit brightness. Despite the small initial quantity, MWE provided the same engineering support and documentation as a 100-unit order.
Display Configuration
The display configuration was selected for the installation environment and project target. Key product details included:
- 4 x 43-inch outdoor wall-mounted displays
- 2 x 32-inch outdoor wall-mounted displays
- Fan cooling, no touch, and 2500-nit brightness
Why This Solution Worked
- OMC platform flexibility enabled custom software functions without building a new system from scratch.
- Full engineering support for a 6-unit pilot matched the commitment typically reserved for production-scale orders.
- Dual screen sizes (43″, 32″) allowed the transit authority to evaluate different form factors for bus stop deployment.
Customer Feedback
we have to say thank you very much for your support and service along even a small qty from us at initial stage
Resultado
The pilot units are in operation, and mass-production demand is now in progress. For transit authorities and solution providers planning smart city pilots, this case shows that the right manufacturing partner treats every pilot as a long-term relationship investment, not a small order to process.
