Digital signage

Messages at points of sale needed to change without manually replacing printed materials, across various display formats. We designed a digital-signage solution that distributes content centrally and lets it be managed online for each screen.

Digital signage

Remote display power and setting control

Displays do not need on-site handling, as their operation is controlled from central management.

Sound and brightness settings

Volume and brightness can be adapted to the environment in which each display is installed.

Portrait and landscape orientation

The same solution handles displays mounted in portrait or landscape, so installations can fit the available space.

Solution

Printed messages and varied display formats

The need was to present digital content at points of sale and change messages without manually replacing printed materials.

The solution had to cover various display formats and make content manageable across installations.

Central content management for displays

We designed a digital-signage solution for central distribution and online management of content on individual screens.

Content can combine, for example, a video loop and static text, while the solution supports automated operation, campaign analytics and expansion with further modules.

The hardware consists of professional System-on-Chip displays that play content in a browser; the software handles uploading and scheduling content and remote device management.

Result

Before

Every change of message at a point of sale meant manually replacing printed materials. Installations also involved various display formats, and their content could not be managed consistently from one place.

After

Content is uploaded and scheduled centrally and distributed online to individual screens, where, for example, a video loop can be combined with static text. Displays are switched on, switched off and configured remotely, and operation runs automatically.

Project outcomes

  • Message changes without replacing printed materials
  • Central content scheduling for all screens
  • Remote display control without on-site intervention

Key takeaway

Digital signage needs both the display hardware and online software for publishing content. Central uploading, changes and content management keep messages consistent across all screens and points of sale.

Frequently asked questions

How is content distributed to digital displays from one place?

Content is uploaded to online management, from where it is distributed centrally to individual screens. For each screen, you can specify what should play and when, and changes take effect without manually replacing printed materials. Playback runs on professional System-on-Chip displays, which show content in a browser and can be managed remotely.

Which content types can a digital-signage screen combine?

A single screen can combine different types of content, for example a video loop with static text. Content adapts to portrait or landscape display orientation, and the integrated touch layer allows it to be interactive. The displays have static-image burn-in protection, so they are also suitable for elements that remain on screen for a long time.

How does the solution support scheduled display operation?

Content is scheduled in advance in online management, and the solution supports automated operation, so displays do not need daily on-site handling. Panels can be switched on, switched off and configured remotely, including sound and brightness. Burn-in protection then safeguards the display when the same content is shown for long periods.

How can the digital-signage solution be developed further?

The solution supports expansion with further modules, so it can grow as new requirements arise. Alongside central content management and scheduling, it also offers analytics for the campaigns played on the screens. Digital signage can therefore develop gradually from displaying simple messages to campaigns across different displays and points of sale.
