Digital signage solutions for London 2012 Olympics

Digital signage is set to play a major part of the London 2012 Olympics, due to each organisation that is sponsoring the Olympics making a statement for their company.

Digital signage solutions.

We can expect to see both indoor and outdoor digital signage solutions for way finding throughout the Olympic Park and the on site restaurants will also be using digital signage in the form of digital menu boards to promote their menu.

Digital signage reducing queues.

The digital signage solution when used as a digital menu board will help reduce queues because the menu is available in digital, high visual images showing the food offered and these can be seen from the back of the QSR (Quick Serve Restaurant) so by the time the customer is at the till they know exactly what they want to order and this reduces waiting time in line waiting to place your order.

Digital signage used for people who get lost.

Outdoor digital signage kiosks are fitted with touch screens, these units are fitted with an electronic map of the Olympic Park, so if people are lost they can easily find their way back to the stadium, car park or where ever they may wish to go.

The way finding solutions as mentioned above is relatively simple in operation, as when a person touched the screen, they are offered a menu of locations they may wish to get to, if not there is a search panel and by touching the screen a keyboard pops up so the user can type in the location they want and then high return on the onscreen keyboard and the screen then displays the directions form the location of the kiosk to the location the user selected. This is made possible with the use of a GPS media player so the position is fixed from the kiosk.

Screenmedia is planning a walk through the Olympic Park before the event and this will reveal the true extent of how indoor and outdoor digital signage solutions will be used.

Look out for the digital menu boards that are used as a QSR POS system, the outdoor digital signage totem units that are used for way finding and the other digital signage hardware will be used to entertain visitors to the park.

We offer a range of LCD enclosures as well as solutions that will be used at the London 2012 Olympics – our LCD enclosures are being used for protecting digital signage hardware.
