traffic signalisation is often the best tool
to achieve this.

SWARCO's LED variable message signs help in this way all around the world.
They give information and warnings, provide directions, prevent accidents and
control the flow of traffic. Not only are they good for road safety and the environment,
they ultimately benefit us all in our daily mobility.

Our LED displays impress customers on all continents with brilliant optical
performance. Moreover, the small, medium or large sized signs are:

variable message signs.

Working in dialogue with our customers, our experienced engineers develop

solutions based on cutting-edge technology. Using precise manufacturing to
meet the highest quality criteria, we can create variable message signs to safely
manage traffic over many years, to the satisfaction of their operators.

Top-quality trailblazing solutions. To live up to our claim of being a technological leader, we invest over
EUR 1 million into research and development every year. This means that
our customers can be sure to get the most advanced product with the best
performance and long service life, even in the age of digital transformation.

Standardised LED variable message signs from SWARCO.
Standardised LED cubes, compatible function modules and a set of mechanical
components for the frame are all you need to construct a scalable display system
for traffic management. The part's intelligent "plug and play" design makes
installation and maintenance easy.

Moreover, CUBILED offers other benefits. Its modular design means that

Variable module design.

CUBILED stands out thanks to its compact design. This not only enables on-site
installation and thus offers local added value, but also leads to lower transport
costs. The full colour and fully graphic cubes have been developed for simple
installation and for extending individual LED variable message signs. They can be
used several times, assembled in any combination and, thanks to quick-release
fasteners, can be easily mounted on the frame. CUBILED builds on the cutting-
edge and most efficient optic system. The patented optics enable the lowest
power consumption and therefore optimally improve the variable message signs'
durability. Needless to say, all SWARCO CUBILED components comply with the
specifications for EN 12966.
