Case Study: Chinese Civil Aviation Industry achieves reliable, high-performance Flight Information Displays with Advantech digital signage solutions

Advantech Digital Signage Solutions Enhance China’s Flight Information Display Systems

The Chinese Civil Aviation Industry faced rapid growth and an expanding airport network that strained air traffic management and passenger information systems. To modernize Flight Information Display Systems (FIDS) at major hubs, the industry turned to Advantech and its digital signage solutions—deploying players such as the DS-570 and DS-780 along with the WISE‑PaaS/RMM management platform and McAfee whitelist protection.

Advantech implemented compact, fanless DS-570 units at Guangzhou Baiyun and Zhengzhou Xinzheng and higher‑performance DS-780 units at Shanghai Pudong, delivering 4K playback, multi‑display support and remote device management for faster troubleshooting via remote KVM. The solution improved system reliability and maintenance efficiency, reduced on‑site repair needs, prevented unauthorized content, and contributed to Advantech’s dominant position in China’s FIDS market (about 88% share).
