If you work in the mobility sector, you have certainly heard of or encountered PIS (Passenger Information System) and PA (Public Address) systems. Today, traditional solutions aimed at communication with passengers are limited and end up generating much more costs than benefits for transportation companies.
With SIMM.PRO, software that manages IP audio, LED panels, and IoT devices on a single platform, communicating with this audience has become even easier.
Continue reading this article and discover the benefits of SIMM.PRO as a PIS and PA system in the mobility sector… Shall we? ?
Challenges faced by the mobility sector…
Before we talk about SIMM.PRO, it is very important to understand the communication challenges that transportation methods face daily and how the lack of a robust and modern system can become a problem.
It is common for older PIS and PA software to present technical and operational failures, in addition to being inflexible and not adapting to new market demands.
One example of this would be the possibility of integrating with other systems to maximize the safety of both passengers and employees.
Moreover, with confusing and unintuitive interfaces, performing actions that could automate the daily routines of operators, such as real-time updates on delays, cancellations, internal changes, or even security notifications in suspicious situations, can become dangerous and open the door to errors, creating environments of confusion and frustration for travelers.
Another very common problem faced by transportation companies is ensuring the propagation of messages, as in many cases there can be both human error due to misconfiguration of announcements and malfunctioning hardware.
Typically, it is difficult to identify the latter situation, especially when we talk about equipment malfunctions, since there are various devices installed in these environments, and maintenance is not always 100% effective.
Meet SIMM.PRO!
Now that we are familiar with the challenges faced by transportation methods, let’s learn a bit more about SIMM.PRO and how it can help in the daily operations of the mobility sector.
The SIMM.PRO Media Under Control is a media management software developed by SilliS. With it, you can manage not only the speakers but also the LED panels and digital signage displays.
Additionally, it allows for the control of all announcements, information, and ambient sounds that will be made throughout the day, week, month, or year in an agile and proactive manner, facilitating your daily routine.
It is intuitive and has various features for the moment of registering hardware and for possible future changes. For example, when registering a device in the system, it is possible to specify whether it is an audio or text output, whether it is active or inactive, and who the manufacturer is.
In addition, one of its advanced features allows for the generation of a monitoring report of online and offline hardware.
Another differentiator of SIMM.PRO is during the registration of zones where it is possible to specify whether that area is active or inactive and to designate a leader speaker – the one that will receive the information and disseminate the content among the others in the same zone – and a backup speaker – which will replace the leader if it is not functioning.
And there’s more, in cases of audio playback, the user can select whether the volume of the schedule will be configured by zone or by the schedule itself, with the standard volumes being: very low, low, medium, high, and very high.
There are so many benefits that it’s hard to list them all, but here are a few:
- Schedule events via link
- Pause and reactivate schedules
- Store media in folders and subfolders
- Automate the self-calibration of your audio devices remotely
- Configure volume by time slot
- Synchronize audio messages and LED panels
- Create a personalized playlist with guidance, information, and announcements
- Integrate with SIMM.Center – a multi-trigger terminal for instant communication in moments when every second counts
In addition to these, there are more advanced features such as generating events by GPS coordinates and dynamic content that further optimize the daily operations of companies and can even assist in the flow of people using transportation methods daily.
