Vision Systems (Booth 327) is unveiling its new motorized shades and electronically dimmable windows (EDWs) at MEBAA 2016. The new shades are already prepared for the integration of the dimmable windows. The French company also offers a collection of privacy and partition solutions that it says work well in aircraft cabins.
The motorized shades are tailor-made and feature smooth or pleated fabrics. They can be customized with single or dual screens as well as lightweight, acoustic insulation and a fine fit and finish. Shade synchronization is available, so all the shades or those in specific areas of the cabin can close at the same time. Brake, manual unlocking and anti-jamming devices enhance motorization while integrated electronics allow for easy installation and maintenance.
The EDWs are made from plastic, glass or composite glass and can be installed into flat or curved surfaces. Users can control the amount of shade they want by using the control panel on the window or via the attendant panel. They can even set the controls automatically using light sensors or operate them with hand gestures. 
According to Vision Systems, the window shades can contribute to reducing air conditioning, since they keep the interior cooler and switch to their darkest possible state when powered down. EDWs also act as noise barriers. Compared to other motorized shades, the EDWs reduce weight approximately 30 percent. 
Vision Systems specializes in developing solar protection products. With production and sales offices in Florida and an office in Singapore, the company supplies products to the aviation, land transport and marine industries. Customers include Dassault, Epic, Airbus Helicopters, Ruag, HondaJet, Sabena Technics, ATR, SuperJet International, La Compagnie, Embraer and Boeing.

News and developments about everything that goes into the cabin of an aircraft, from floor coverings to headliners, with a special emphasis on in-flight entertainment, communications and other electronics for passengers. If it is in the cabin of an aircraft, it’s covered here.
