Integrated communication solutions
In September 2023 , the business launched a new software suite , Luminator Suite , as part of its mission to create more effective ways for customers to manage and control their fleets . Luminator Suite ensures the ease of operation and maintenance of passenger information systems , allowing information to be controlled through a single , web-based user interface , meaning users can manage their entire passenger information system using just one app . The suite ’ s features include shortening the downtime of vehicles through easier configurations of destination messages , route numbers , and public information that can be transferred directly to the vehicle via Wi-Fi or cellular , enabling operators to conveniently maintain vehicles without returning to the depot .
The business showcased the Luminator Suite at the 2024 APTA Mobility Conference in Portland , Oregon , in April , where it also unveiled its expansion into E Ink and ePaper . E Ink color displays use proven bistable reflective technology that provides low power consumption and superior visibility in direct sunlight , offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional TFT displays . These displays are managed through Luminator ’ s content management software ( CMS ), which enables operators to display status throughout the network and update content on multiple displays as needed .
Commenting on the company ’ s exhibit at the 2024 APTA Mobility Conference in a press release , Luminator ’ s Commercial Vice President of North America , Daria van Engelen , said : “ Luminator continues to innovate and develop useful solutions for our customers and is excited to showcase some of
them at APTA Mobility , as well as connect with agencies to demonstrate how we are focused on delivering the best passenger experience .”
Although technology and innovative products are at Luminator ’ s core , the business delivers such solutions through its expert customer service teams . Project managers directly link the client with the company , acting as the pain point of contact for the planning , design , and implementation of systems . Working in accordance with professional standards , Luminator ’ s experience enables its teams to operate with efficiency while still offering customers expert advice on implementation , training , and ongoing support .
With a passion for passenger experiences , combined with constant innovation , it ’ s clear that Luminator has earned a positive reputation and a strong , welldeserved position at the forefront of the industry . As technology constantly evolves , Luminator is sure to continue designing and developing the most complete , integrated communication solutions that keep passengers connected , informed , and safe , and provide an efficient , enjoyable journey . ■
