Sign company plans $6M expansion, 133 new jobs in Fishers

Sign maker AI Innovations moved to Fishers this year to work with a promising startup that landed an economic development deal to produce uber-efficient lighting technology.

But VoxLumen Corp. fizzled before it could collect the $800,000 the town pledged to the project, and officials notified the firm about a month ago that the offer is off the table.

Now the Fishers Town Council is set to consider a new agreement with the sign company, which expects to more than double its work force and invest $6 million on equipment by 2019.

Founded in 1999 as Awning Innovations, the company has 105 employees now and plans to add 133 positions paying almost $29 an hour, according to a project summary prepared for the council.

The proposed deal calls for a five-year tax abatement on the equipment, worth a total of about $235,000.

AI Innovations, in turn, would sign a long-term lease for the former Diamond Foods facility at 11899 Exit Five Parkway. The 160,000-square-foot building had been vacant since California-based Diamond Foods closed its 100-employee plant in early 2013.

Business has been strong since the wholesale sign manufacturer moved from Mount Comfort early this year. Town Manager Scott Fadness said economic development leaders are eager to nurture thriving businesses like AI Innovations.

“They’ve got a pretty aggressive growth plan, and they want to do it here,” he said.

VoxLumen had just two employees when it struck the deal with Fishers in January. But the plans fell apart as Colorado-based sister company Lumiere Industries was embroiled in a dispute over who owned the patent for the lighting technology.

“It got really messy,” Fadness said. Although the VoxLumen project failed to live up to its potential, the town nevertheless benefitted by attracting AI Innovations, he added. “That’s the silver lining.”

    • It would be the cable appropriate to fit in the sheave size, measure what is on there currently. And 2.25 - 2.5 times longer than the fully extended boom length. You can probably find the least required number of wraps on the winch drum.

    • Hey everyone, I wanted to share some insights I recently explored about how digital signage is transforming communication within hospitals and healthcare environments. Whether it's patient experience, internal messaging, or emergency alerts — digital displays are making a huge impact. Here are 6 key benefits I discovered: ✅ 1. Reduced Perceived Wait Times Waiting in hospitals can be stressful. Digital signage helps by displaying health tips, entertainment, or wait time updates to ease patient anxiety and improve their experience. ✅ 2. Real-Time Emergency Alerts In urgent situations, hospitals can use digital screens to instantly broadcast important alerts or emergency codes across departments — faster and more effectively than overhead systems. ✅ 3. Improved Staff Communication From shift updates to meeting reminders, internal digital boards streamline communication and reduce confusion among staff, especially in larger facilities. ✅ 4. Wayfinding Made Easy Navigating hospitals can be confusing. Interactive digital maps and directional signs help visitors and patients get to their destination without constantly asking for help. ✅ 5. Promoting Health Campaigns Hospitals can use signage to promote wellness programs, flu shot campaigns, or COVID updates — all in a visually engaging way that captures attention. ✅ 6. Better Patient Engagement Screens in waiting areas or patient rooms can be used for educational videos, treatment FAQs, or even personalized messages — creating a more informed and connected patient experience. I wrote a full article diving deeper into each of these, if anyone wants to read more: https://www.wipath.com/top-6-advantages-of-using-digital-signs-in-hospitals/ Would love to hear your thoughts — are you seeing digital signage being used effectively in your hospitals or clinics? Cheers!
