ASSESS

Elliott Turbomachinery UK wanted to enhance their existing Digital Signage installation at their offices in Reading, by placing two screens in the main reception area to deliver core information to visitors and staff alike.

The core requirements for the digital signage project were:

ability to update screens from a central location
have different content on each screen
display health & safety data in a graphical format in real time
provide staff with different levels of access to certain zones of information to update content on a regular basis without the ability to alter the core signage design
scaleable to allow for expansion to other locations

Hardware

Eclipse Digital installed a ONELAN publisher, rack mounted in the network / comms room together with a ONELAN subscriber to drive one 55″ Full HD LED Samsung Display. The existing ONELAN media player driving another 55″ Full HD LED Samsung Display was configured to subscriber status to poll content from the new Publisher.



Content

Two channels of content were designed and developed, one to show welcome messaging and corporate information and the other to deliver the health and safety graphical data and daily updates. Within each channel Eclipse configured specific zones with ‘ad hoc’ user access whereby certain users can log in to update just that zone of content, without altering the core layout.

Data Collection Engine

Eclipse Digital have provided Elliott with ONELAN Data Collection Engine (DCE) software so they have the facility to pull in data from either Excel, XML or SQL to display graphically, in real time.
