Messaging Options for Escalator & Walkway
Automated Messaging Systems

All of our messages are professionally recorded. The messaging options for Sound View Electronics escalator and moving walkway public announcement systems fall into four areas:

Safety messages -   Our safety messages decrease rider accidents and injuries which reduce the operator’s risk of lawsuits.  Over time this may help to reduce the operator’s insurance premiums.   Safety Example: “Please do not sit on the steps or the handrail.”

Directional messages – Use our automated public announcement system to direct passengers to the correct platform for a subway, direct them to the baggage claims area in an airport or to wherever you want them to go…. Example: “Please stay to the right for the local trains.”

Instructional messages – Instructional messages can increase the efficiency of the flow of people by instructing them what they need to do after they exit the escalator or walkway so that movement is uninterrupted.

Advertising Ideas – We can show you how to turn your escalator or moving walkway into a profit center.  Imagine escalator ads informing riders of a special at a nearby store or in a department of your store!  Now imagine collecting advertising revenue from these stores or from the manufacturer of the products in your store!  We can show you how to do it.

Message Possibilities:

• Directional announcements – “Baggage claim is downstairs to the left.  Rental cars are to the right.”
• Instructional announcements – “Please have boarding pass and identification ready after exiting”
• Marketing and store specials – “Visit our gift department for special savings today”
• Dual message groups:
• Upon entrance – “Please stand to the right, walk to the left”
• When rider is nearing exit – “You are approaching the end of the walkway, please step carefully and keep moving”
• Advertising messages remotely loadable – “Specials savings are available in the food court every Saturday evening from 8PM to closing.”

Custom applications can be provided to meet any specific requirement.

Benefits of our messaging systems:

• Professional recordings are stored in non-volatile memory.  They will be retained even if power is lost.
• Messaging can be programmed in any language or multiple languages
• Messaging can be delivered in Multiple language (English, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese)
• Continuous loop or motion activation of messages

Our prerecorded public announcement systems offer very valuable escalator safety features and do the same for moving walkways.  Messages can be updated manually or by our remote updating system.  Our messaging systems increase the quality of the experience of your patrons and they offer cutting edge advertising ideas to make your escalators or walkways into profit centers.

Sound View Electronics also offers dual messaging groups.  Two separate groups of messages can be played on the same walkway or escalator from one amplifier.  For most of the trip, riders can hear: “Please stand on the right and walk on the left”, while riders nearing the end hear “You are approaching the end of the moving walkway.  Please watch your step and keep moving upon exiting.”
