INFiLED Rolls Out Dual-Sided LED Wayfinding Across China's Rail Hubs

Shenzhen – September 10, 2026 -- INFiLED completed a new digital wayfinding installation at Shenzhen North Railway Station in June 2026, deploying its GeminiLED Series at key passenger circulation points as the company expands LED display deployment across China's rail network.

Dual-sided display targets converging passenger flows at major interchange

Shenzhen North combines high-speed rail with three metro lines, generating passenger flows that converge, divide and change direction throughout the hub. INFiLED's GeminiLED Series addresses this with a dual-sided structure that integrates two independently controlled display faces within a single suspended unit, allowing content to address passengers approaching from opposite directions simultaneously. The unit carries a 25.5 mm ultra-slim profile, a design constraint aimed at operating stations where structural loading, available space and short installation windows limit refurbishment work.

CAM Expert: Cost Cuts Alone Won't Save Volkswagen

Osnabrück – September 09, 2026 -- Volkswagen's cost-cutting program will not be enough to pull the automaker out of its crisis, according to Stefan Bratzel, director of the Center of Automotive Management (CAM) in Bergisch Gladbach. "Savings alone will not save Volkswagen," Bratzel told the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung (NOZ).

Bratzel says two plant closures would suffice, not four

While VW must cut costs "drastically and quickly" due to mounting overcapacity at its domestic plants, Bratzel called the planned closure of four German sites excessive. "Two locations should be enough," he said, adding that job cuts combined with longer working hours without pay compensation could help lower production costs.
