On September 2, the 2025 Tomorrow City Summit (TCS 2025) grandly opened at Zhangjiang Science Hall, Shanghai. The conference brought together nearly 300 government officials, business executives, academic experts, and industry leaders from 25 countries and regions worldwide to explore new pathways for urban digital transformation and sustainable development.
As a leading provider of smart city public transportation solutions, Shanghai Zemso Urban Furniture Technology Co., Ltd. showcased its next-generation electronic bus stop signage and newly developed solar-powered smart bench, both of which drew wide attention and lively discussion at the event.
Smart Bench: A Fusion of Technology and Public Convenience
At the exhibition, ZEMSO solar-powered smart bench became a focal point. With a minimalist, modern design and sleek lines, the bench integrates urban aesthetics with practical functionality. Built with durable, weather-resistant materials, it is designed to withstand heavy loads, resist corrosion and rain, and ensure long-term outdoor use.
Key Features:
Solar Charging Panel: Equipped with high-efficiency solar panels that generate renewable energy under daily sunlight, providing continuous power for all functions.
Smart Display Screen: Capable of broadcasting public service announcements, cultural event information, or tailored content, serving as an “information hub” and “cultural communication window.”
USB & Wireless Charging Ports: Multiple USB outlets and wireless charging modules allow citizens to conveniently charge their devices anytime.
Ambient & Mosquito-Repellent Lighting: At night, soft ambient lights automatically illuminate, while built-in mosquito-repellent lamps enhance comfort and health during summer evenings.
Bluetooth Connectivity: Enables interaction with mobile devices, supporting audio playback, information sharing, and integration with public service systems.
A consultant from Singapore praised the bench after personally testing it, noting that it represents not just a place to rest, but also a reflection of the city’s commitment to public service and human-centered design. He highlighted the solar-powered self-sufficiency model as an excellent fit for sustainable urban development—eco-friendly, energy-saving, and citizen-focused.
Bus Stop Digital Signage: A Strong Pillar for Smart Mobility
ZEMSO also unveiled its new-generation electronic bus stop signage, further strengthening its leading position in smart mobility solutions. These signages are indispensable in smart city transportation systems.
The signage provides real-time bus arrival information, reducing uncertainty and anxiety for passengers and enabling better trip planning. Beyond core transit updates, it also pushes traffic notices, weather forecasts, and emergency alerts, making it a crucial public service platform. Additionally, it supports public campaigns, cultural content, and commercial advertising, balancing both information service and value creation.
With remote content management and centralized control, operators can flexibly adjust broadcasts by region or schedule. The signage also supports multimedia display, including video and dynamic content, enhancing visual communication.
A public transport executive from the Middle East expressed strong interest in its multimedia capabilities, pointing out its potential for both transport information and cultural-commercial promotion, especially in city centers and tourist destinations.
Expanding the Smart Urban Furniture Portfolio
Guided by the philosophy of “Technology as the Core, Design as the Soul,” ZEMSO continues to expand the boundaries of smart city furniture applications. Beyond the smart bench and Outdoor Digital Signage, ZEMSO is actively developing smart bus shelters, digital wayfinding systems, integrated service kiosks, e-newspaper stands, and urban guidance platforms, gradually building a multi-scenario smart urban furniture ecosystem.

Domestically, ZEMSO's products are widely implemented in transport hubs, cultural landmarks, shopping complexes, tourist attractions, and community spaces, continuously delivering intelligent and citizen-friendly public experiences. Internationally, ZEMSO has established projects in over 30 countries and regions, including Japan, the United States, Romania, Costa Rica, and Thailand, earning recognition from local governments and partners.
