538 Versilis has introduced the SwiftSign to provide a safe, fast and easy way to activate traffic signage or message boards remotely. The system comprises a pivoting sign, a solar panel and a control box. Flashing lights can be added to the traffic sign to increase night-time visibility and to catch drivers' attention under specific circumstances such as emergency procedures.

The dynamic signage, which is completely independent of any wiring for ease of installation or relocation, can be activated easily with an RF unit, cellular phone, or a Web-based application. According to Versilis, the system is a great in-between solution to static and variable message signs. The activation on demand makes the message only relevant when necessary and at the same time, the system is much more compact and economical than variable message signs.
