Podcasts about Digital signage

Whether a brand is deploying digital signage for the first time or upgrading a digital signage fleet there are challenges and hurdles to overcome.Those challenges range from building a strategy and roadmap to dealing with hardware supply chain issues that can bottleneck a project.Insight on solving challenges and developing a successful digital signage strategy is the focus of the most recent Digital Signage Today podcast.The "Right Tool, Right Place: A Smarter Hardware Strategy for Modern Signage" podcast was sponsored by Carousel Digital Signage, a 30-year-old digital signage platform built for any enterprise, from the corporate boardroom to government institutions to educational agencies.The podcast discussion examined a real-world case study of an automotive dealer that paired Carousel's content management solution with the Amazon Signage Stick to upgrade over 150 displays on schedule and within budget.The panel talk also included expert insight on how to fix enterprise bottlenecks and how to determine the best digital signage solution.Participants included Carousel Senior Vice President, Partnerships and Channel, Chris Brama, John Caswell, Carousel's director of sales and Amazon Signage Stick Business Development Manager Alex Gu. Judy Mottl, editor of Digital Signage Today, moderated the discussion.

Digital Signage war vor rund 15 Jahren der Startpunkt für die Digitalisierung am Point of Sale. Heute geht es längst um viel mehr: Retail Media, künstliche Intelligenz, Sensorik, vernetzte Stores und digitale Erlebniswelten verändern den stationären Handel. Gemeinsam mit Amit Chatterjee, Manager Presales Solutions Display bei Samsung, werfen wir einen Blick darauf, was heute bereits möglich ist und wohin sich die Digitalisierung im Store entwickeln könnte. Wie wird aus einem Verkaufsraum ein echter Erlebnisort? Wie lassen sich digitale Touchpoints für Retail Media monetarisieren? Und wie können Händler mithilfe von Sensorik und Daten Inhalte genau dann ausspielen, wenn sie für Kundinnen und Kunden relevant sind? Außerdem geht es um Analytics und ROAS, die Verbindung von Hardware und Software, KI im Store sowie digitale Lösungen, die nicht nur Kunden, sondern auch Mitarbeitende unterstützen – von E-Paper-Displays bis hin zu Smartwatches und mobilen Endgeräten. Und natürlich schauen wir auch nach vorne: Wie sieht der Store im Jahr 2035 aus? Werden dort noch Menschen beraten oder übernehmen Avatare und digitale Systeme? Amit hat dazu eine klare Vorstellung.

Most schools struggle to communicate effectively and keep their students engaged. Rise Vision provides an easy-to-use platform with digital signage, screen sharing, and emergency alerts to improve communication, teaching, and create a positive school culture. Most schools face challenges with communication, teaching, and safety, which impact their ability to create an engaging and positive learning environment. Poor Communication:Schools struggle to ensure students, staff, and parents stay informed about announcements, events, and opportunities. Traditional methods like printed posters or emails often go unnoticed, and inconsistent messaging across the district creates confusion.Underutilized Technology:Expensive interactive flat panels and other classroom tools are often used as basic displays, failing to deliver their promised value. Teachers lack intuitive, affordable tools to collaborate and engage students effectively.Safety Concerns:Many schools lack streamlined, reliable systems to send critical emergency alerts across buildings. Without fast, clear communication during incidents, schools risk confusion and delays in response.Limited Resources:Tight budgets and stretched IT teams make it difficult to adopt and maintain technology. Schools are forced to manage multiple disconnected tools for signage, collaboration, and alerts, increasing complexity and costs.Disengaged School Culture:Schools often miss opportunities to celebrate achievements, foster engagement, and build a sense of community among students and staff, leading to lower involvement in extracurricular activities and events.

This episode of the Digital Signage Today podcast focuses on requirements and mandates relating to the Americans with Disabilities Act.The ADA is a set of guidelines that ensures individuals with disabilities receive equal treatment as individuals without disabilities. This includes equal access to information and functionality. The ADA requirements ensure digital signs are inclusive, engaging, and accessible to all.Podcast guest Laurel Barrette, a marketing manager at Korbyt, maps out why and how digital signage partners and clients need to know and adhere to the ADA rules. The podcast is moderated by Digital Signage Today Editor Judy Mottl.Korbyt is a workplace software and digital signage company. It is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with additional worldwide offices in the U.K. and the United Arab EmiratesAccording to the World Health Organization, 1.3 billion in the world have a significant disability, which accounts for 16% of the global population. That's a significant portion of the consumer base businesses need to accommodate.ADA requires that digital signs accommodate people with disabilities, from the blind to the hearing impaired and offer functionalities, and features allowing them to engage and interact with a digital sign as a non-disabled inADA compliance isn't something a company can disregard. In 2023, there were a total of 4,605 ADA digital accessibility lawsuits, a 14.1% increase from the previous year. Non-compliance can expose your company to hefty fines, penalties, and legal fees — not to mention scrutiny from your consumers.The approximate total cost of an ADA digital accessibility lawsuit is $200 million, an amount enough to startle a budget and hinder operations.

EPISODE 183 | Guest: Debbie DeWitt, marketing communications manager for Visix In today's workplace, meeting fatigue and email overload are driving organizations to rethink how they communicate. This episode explores asynchronous communication – a method that allows people to receive and process information on their own schedule rather than requiring everyone to be present simultaneously. Unlike traditional meetings or real-time calls, asynchronous methods respect people's time, reduce interruptions, and accommodate diverse schedules across shifts, time zones, and work arrangements. Digital signage emerges as a particularly effective asynchronous tool, delivering information that's continuously available without demanding immediate attention. The discussion covers practical applications across various industries, along with content strategies, best practices, and how to integrate digital signage into a broader multi-channel communication approach. Understand synchronous vs. asynchronous methods and when each works best. Learn to combat meeting fatigue and protect employee "flow states." Discover how digital signage engages with non-intrusive, always-available information. Explore asynchronous content ideas for corporate, healthcare, and campus environments. Get actionable advice on integrating digital signage into a multi-channel communication strategy that balances synchronous and asynchronous methods. See the full transcript HERE Need content ideas?

Brandy Alvarado-Miranda isn't just a name in the AV world—she's a force of nature.

She's dubbed her clients her #BAMily, and has created an ecosystem that not only connects them to work on projects together, but to team up to network. But Brandy doesn't stop at business. She's a passionate advocate for women in tech, founding WAVIT in 2023—a nonprofit dedicated to uplifting women in AV/IT. From her leadership with the AVIXA Women's Council to her mentorship and advisory roles, Brandy is determined to leave the AV industry better, stronger, and more inclusive than she found it. With titles like Woman of the Year in AV, Pro AV Watch Lister, AV Living Legend, and DSE Advisory Board Member, her accolades are impressive—but her mission is simple: to empower others, create meaningful change, and rock out to some 80s jams while doing it.
