Oslo Metro Display Retrofit: An Eco-friendly Upgrade

In the digital signage sector, TCO is an essential indicator for balancing cost-effectiveness and sustainability. Eco-design practices, such as retro-fitting, emerge as crucial strategies to optimize it. By upgrading technology instead of completely replacing it, it is possible to significantly reduce total costs. In 2016, we carried out a retrofit for Oslo Metro that not only updated the technology of existing units with brighter and more resistant solutions but also maintained the pre-existing mechanical structures.

The implementation was made possible thanks to our ability to design solutions that are “future-proof” as we managed to fit new displays into the pre-installed structure. This allowed us to update units installed in 2011 with 65″, 70″ and then 75″ displays, extending their operational life and reducing costs. The retrofit of previous displays and the ability of letting unaltered the original infrastructure is also a passage that significantly reduced environmental impact and additional expenses.
