Signera introduces its new Signera Solo Stick

Signera introduces its new Signera Solo Stick. The stick provides a full computer in a compact size. The Solo will also allow customers to utilize Signera’s existing easy-to-use interface in a single module application. The stick is built on Intel’s tried-and-true hardware. Although small factor, the stick has shown to be a contender to larger systems in agility and ability. The Solo Stick also provides a complete solid-state application, meaning no moving parts, meaning low risk of failure even after

years in the field. Also since the Solo Stick can run on USB power, it can be installed virtually anywhere or behind anything. Signera took it a step further by removing Windows from the stick and loading a proprietary customized version of Ubuntu Linux to provide a more stable and efficient environment. And since the Stick is 100% managed from the cloud, there is no hard or confusing setup (and no, you don’t need to learn Linux). If you have Wired internet, you literally do no setup on the stick. If you have Wireless, you’ll simply hook a keyboard/mouse to the stick and click the “Setup Wireless” option when the stick boots up.

Signera has already sold out their first run of these sticks. They seem to be flying off the shelves. Signera contacted us to let us know their next stock has just arrived, so they have close to 100 more ready to go. We were able to get our hands on a production version and the stick took everything we threw at it, even video! I think this will change where digital signage is installed, and where it can be used. Opening the door to applications unheard of in the digital signage space until now.

A major digital signage hardware provider [name withheld] announced their version of a Stick Digital Signage Player at the Intel booth at the Digital Signage Expo 2016 (DSE 2016) show this year. But it looks like Signera has beat everyone, including them, to market. Since [name withheld] is the leading provider of hardware to digital signage companies, it’ll be interesting to see how this affects the industry. Signera is the leader to market with a new technology yet again. Signera was also the leader to market back in 2007 when they released their multiple-module SaaS system. The first digital signage software to offer multiple zones or modules on a single-screen powered by a single player.

Signera can offer a free one-on-one demonstration of their system and can answer any questions about the Solo Stick (or their other products) when filling out this form.

Full Disclosure: Signera is one of Digital Signage Report’s advertisers, and provided us with a demo Solo Stick to review for this article.

Global Consulting Firms, God and Machine Guns: Global Finance and Acid Rain

Strange title I know but how else do you describe what is going on in the global finance scene. With the master weave of God and Country which equal patriotism and prosperity, what happens when it all collapses? Chaos! It would be great to believe that there are a few men in a locked room somewhere who were controlling this economic collapse and in just a matter of time they would flip a switch and it would all be ok again but none of us are nave enough to believe such a backwards conspiracy theory.

The truth is far worse. The world bank creates money starting with digital imprints on a computer screen, a little money to reel in the third world, import western goods that they can’t afford, create a situation of debt and bam, we control another country and blame it on the World Bank and the IMF and all these numbers on a screen take a shape of their own in the minds of the global populace as ‘truth’. By truth I mean the international population accepts these numbers that are nothing more than a digital expression of a think tank drone that has been trained to believe that people are pawns and that government fractions within governments is just the way it is.

But people have lost the confidence in those imaginative numbers on the screen. People have lost hope that there is someone on the other side looking out for their interests to make sure that there are jobs, a paycheck and food on the table.

Mainstream confidence in the economic powers that be is disintegrating like a sugar cube in boiling water. With our military fighting battles on multiple fronts, men, women and children have to fight to keep the governments grimy claws out of their back pockets. The Fed, top tier investment banking gurus and global financial demigods just sit and slobber at senate hearings as they, just as we know that they are all for show. The government will use this to distract global citizens until the next distraction is placed on the board and the underhanded motivations of crooked power players will have their way again.

Between the crumbling of this economic house of cards, absence of God and global warming who can step in and save us? The answer is, good old fashioned entrepreneurialship. You, me and the small business down the street. Stop looking to institutional and governmental solutions. They’ll promise you a dollar and steal your soul.

5 Major Benefits of Digital Menu Boards

Growth of Digital Signage has led to a lot of changes in the field of display advertising. Adoption of digital signage menu boards by various restaurants, malls, cafes in place of traditional menu boards have taken place. This has occurred due to various benefits that one can derive from a digital menu board in comparison to a traditional menu board. 5 major benefits of using a digital menu board are:

1. Digital Menu Boards can be updated easily:
Digital Menu Boards have made the tedious manual work easy. One can update the menu board with the help of software and design and can provide the necessary information they need their customers to know. Adding items in the menu or changing the price of the items is hassle free and just few clicks away.

2. Helps in up selling:
One of the core benefit of having a digital menu board is the quality of display. Images are much clearer and attractive than the usual static image and one gets easily tempted to try what’s on the menu. Apart from that, digital menu boards also display various combos and complementary products so the hassle of deciding what else to have vanishes away. This helps in increasing sales and also helps in maintaining a good brand reputation.

3. Benefit of flexibility:
Now, with help of digital menu board one can change the time, date, menu automatically based on the situation whenever there is a need for it. A restaurant can target a specific type of target audience based on the time and day and this can help in demographic classification of your customers. Makes your display process hassle free and barely consumes any time.

4. Enhances customer service and Reduces waiting time:
Added benefit of digital menu board just like an interactive touch screen kiosk is that it can be modified into an entertaining feature by adding fun facts, quizzes and a lot more to entertain the customers and it also helps in reducing the perceived waiting time. This helps in enhancing the customers experience by keeping them well informed and entertained.

5. Helps in maintaining brand consistency:
It is possible that en employee may forget or neglect updating the menu board of your restaurant. But with help of digital menu boards, you can be sure that your menu boards are well updated at all the locations and are consistent with each other.

Physical Laws working behind LEDs

Light-emitting diodes also called LED signs work on the basic principles of physics. The phenomenon by which the light is emitted from these signs is based on the one described by the semi-conductors. According to the physical principles, it has been found in the basics of the phenomenon of the electroluminescence. Basically the LED works by applying the working of P-N junction diode. According to this technology, it has been found that there are two types of junctions; a forward bias junction and the other one is the reverse bias junction. This major mechanism of action is followed in all LED displays.
Basically, P-N junction diodes which are made of two semi-conductor metalloids, there is a flow of electrons which is channelized from p junction to n junction. The arrangement and bond formation in these metalloids of the junction are such that one of these two parts is deficient in electrons while the other one is rich in electrons. On one side, there are more electrons while on the other side there are holes created due to absence of electrons. This same principle is followed in almost all scrolling LED signs as well as in the positioned signs of LED and lighting systems. However there are some types of programmable LED signs which have some different kind of arrangement and frequency of transfer of electrons across the p n junction differ greatly.
The basic principle of electron conduction, which is followed in most of the LED signs outdoor, is that when the circuits are complete and the current is being conducted, there will be a massive flow of electrons noted down from the p junction to the n junction. In other words, the flow of electrons towards the holes ensures the maximum flow of current and the speed with which this flow is taking place depicts and symbolizes the intensity of current flowing and hence the amount of brightness shown by the LEDs is depicted. The same procedure of flow of electrons and intensity of current is followed in most of the signs and displays especially in the LED signs Indiana.
Just like the outdoor displays, the same mechanism being followed in the technology of LED signs indoor as well. When the electrons that are flowing from the n junction combine with the holes in the p junction, formation of the complex and energy is released which is shown in the form of photons. These photons become visible in the electronic message boards.
The quantity of electrons that is combined with the hole differs from time to time and the frequency of their combinations will be also different. This ultimately results in the production and release of different wavelengths of lights every time. This is the major principle that results in the formation of LED signs for business. In this way, different photons released in the p n junction depend upon the different wavelength of energy released by the combining of electrons with the holes.
