After the general explanations about digital signage, you will discover here which advantages and usage possibilities exist. At the end, you will read how our software helps you to realize this solution.
Digital signs refer to the replacement of conventional signs with screen technologies. The more global term "digital signage" is also used in many non-English languages to name an entire industry.
These solutions basically consist of three components: Display hardware, software, and content. The programmed software ensures that various media contents are visible on their screens.
In this article, as mentioned at the beginning, we will limit ourselves to the replacement of classic signage with modern software solutions. Digital signage is the perfect solution for conventional traffic signs, door signs, personal signs, price signs and any other type of room signage (PoS in retail).
Digital signs increase flexibility for changes. Content on a screen can be replaced faster and cheaper than traditional signs. Response times and costs for traffic and price signs or room assignments will drastically be reduced.
Digital signage has various possible use-cases. For example, various contents can be displayed at the PoS and even movies can be played. A conventional sign, on the other hand, contains only static content, which is why digital signage offers an advantage over conventional signage, especially in retail.
Any form of changes, be it prices, room assignments or appointments can be realized quickly. No one has to print slips of paper anymore to take them down and hang them up. Network-enabled signs allow individualized content at the touch of a button. This means fewer errors, more correction options and lower personnel costs.
Signage no longer needs to be printed, produced and distributed. This makes the Digital Signage Player the perfect solution and also has a positive impact on the environment.
The digitization of signage creates additional potential applications in the form of interactivity. Users can confirm rooms as occupied and release them again. The on-screen shared content increases flexibility and organization in your company.
Connect your price tags with your enterprise resource planning. Or the room allocation plan with Google Appointment Calendar or Exchange. Automated content saves you time, hassle, and money.
You can use digital signs wherever there is a need for signage. In hotels, at conferences as door signs or wayfinding systems, in restaurants, in traffic planning, as perimeter advertising in sports stadiums or as price signs.
Digital door signs attached to rooms make your employees' day-to-day work much easier.
Because you, your employees and your guests are always up-to-date by using dynamic room signage.

The digitization of digital road signs or so-called variable message signs, increases safety. Traffic can be influenced in a partially automated manner in real time. This helps to avoid traffic jams and accidents.
Digital signage not only curbs speed early, but also indicates detours and warns of wrong-way drivers.
As mobile traffic signs, they notify drivers of roadwork or lane changes.
Show visitors at trade shows, events, hospitals, retirement homes or in museums where to go. Well-designed wayfinding systems help your visitors reach their destinations easily and quickly. Digital signage enables promptly adaptable signs to flexibly point out changing exhibitions or exhibits.

To implement your individual digital sign solution, you need two types of software in addition to the hardware. You will find the necessary software with us, but we will also be ready to advise you on the hardware.
For signs, perimeter, and public displays advertising, we recommend weatherproof and high-brightness outdoor screens. For door signs at conferences, DIN A4 sized All-in-One-devices come into question. They should support touch, so that your guests or guests on site can interact with the system. You can purchase ready-to-use media player from our hardware partners or choose your own.
The player displays your content on the screen. Our media player software supports Windows, Android, Linux, and macOS. If your digital signage hardware offers special sensors, we will customize our player software in a straightforward and cost-efficient way.
Our software is able to transform almost any Android from version 7 to a secure and remotely maintainable digital signage player. By the way, our process also works on non-rooted devices. This increases the security even more.
For certain use cases like temporary digital road signs for construction sites, accidents, or traffic jams, it makes sense to transfer content via USB. Usually, for most other use cases, you will rather want to use a remotely maintainable software.
With our SmilControl-CMS, you organize your playlist content and administer your screens centrally.
