Nowadays, digital signage is everywhere. It has become a popular marketing tool which can provide real time information, advertising and messages in rich multimedia formats to attract consumers. Interactive digital signage allows consumers to interact with the signage to enhance customer engagement and in-store sales. Among all public places, shopping malls are one of the ideal venues to utilize interactive digital signage.

Application Requirements

Since this interactive digital signage was to be deployed in a mall where it is crowded and noisy, the digital signage monitor had to be large enough, with good image quality, to draw people’s attention. Moreover, fast, yet accurate touch responses were also required to build a reliable interactive interface. Lastly, the signage had to be rugged enough to withstand constant use and interactivity. Thus, reliability and longevity were key.
Solution
Advantech DSD-3032 and ARK-DS520 were selected for the application. DSD-3032 provides 32” large format monitors supporting 1366 x 768(HD) resolution and unparalleled image quality with configurable I/O.
