Contract Win

21st Century Technology plc (AIM: C21), the specialist provider of CCTV, monitoring and passenger information systems to fleet and network operators in the bus and rail industries is pleased to announce that its recently formed Passenger Information Systems (PIS) division has received a £0.6m contract to supply a number of its latest stretched Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) based high resolution passenger information display systems for a large UK local authority customer.

This is the first contract win for the PIS division which was formed in April this year following the acquisition of Region Services. Follow-on orders for the installation and ongoing maintenance of these new systems are anticipated in due course.

The initial order includes over 100 stretched TFT screens and associated software which are capable of emulating traditional Light Emitting Diode (LED) passenger information screens but which also have the capabilities to produce full-motion high definition graphical representations for broader multi-media content.

The display systems will be manufactured at the Company's expanded factory facilities in Coventry following relocation last month. They will be the first products to be produced using the new SAP based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software.

Russ Singleton, Group CEO added "Since acquiring RSL Group at the end of April we have worked tirelessly with our teams in Croydon, Blackburn, Coventry and Stockholm to bring the businesses together and we are making good progress. We are investing in facilities, technology and personnel to combine the capabilities of on-vehicle systems engineering with on-street ticketing and passenger information systems to improve service levels and reduce costs for our customers. This forms part of our overall strategy to move towards highly integrated on-board technologies with connected and web based back-office software management applications."
