Signage Across the Campus
The college's digital displays were spread across the campus, so reaching each one to manage it individually would take a great deal of effort.
Kuwait College of Science and Technology needed one way to manage and create content for its digital signage network across the campus. Technowave proposed the Xibo Content Management System, which lets the college control every display from a single location.
Kuwait College of Science and Technology (KCST) is an accredited private university in Kuwait, offering undergraduate education in engineering. Its digital signage is spread across the campus, and the college uses those displays to share information with its community.
The college's goal was a solution for centrally managing and creating content for its digital signage. Without a central system, content would have to be prepared and updated for each display separately, which is slow and hard to coordinate across a campus of this size.
The college turned to Technowave Group, a software solution provider in the Middle East. Technowave pitched the Xibo Content Management System, and the client had no hesitation in deploying it once the primary objective of the software was demonstrated: managing the digital signage network centrally.
Digital signage is only useful when the right content reaches the right screen at the right time. For a university with displays in many areas, that depends on how the whole network is managed.
The college's digital displays were spread across the campus, so reaching each one to manage it individually would take a great deal of effort.
Without a central system, content for each display would have to be created and handled separately, which makes consistent management difficult.
Technowave chose the Xibo Content Management System to manage the college's digital signage network. The software was installed on the college's own server, so the network is run on premise.
Xibo manages the digital signage network from one central system, which the college runs on its own server.
Each display is controlled by a licensed Android device that is linked to the software, so every screen can be managed from the central system.
Xibo lets the team create a separate layout for each display, so each screen can show content suited to its own location.
The system collects diagnostic data and proof of play data for each display, so the college can see what has been shown on each screen.
Technowave showed the main purpose of the software, which was to manage the digital signage network centrally. This convinced the client to deploy it.
The software was installed on the college's own server, so the network is managed on premise.
Every display is controlled by a licensed Android device linked to the software.
Timed campaign content is scheduled for the displays, and the network is monitored in real time from the central system.
With the software in place, the college manages its digital signage from a single location instead of reaching each display individually.
The college can control all of its signage across the campus from a single location, on its own server.
Individual layouts let each display show its own content, while timed campaigns are scheduled across the network.
Every display is monitored in real time, and diagnostic and proof of play data is collected for each one.
A central system lets one team control a campus-wide network, instead of handling each display on its own.
Installing the software on the college's own server gives the client the freedom to run the network from its own infrastructure.
Showing the primary purpose of the software early made it easier for the client to decide on deployment.
Diagnostic and proof of play data show whether each display is working and what it has played.
