EZ-sign Zybersigns Wireless Economical Robust Promotional Display Solution Powered by e-ink
Agenda • Zybersign Concept • Collaboration and Execution Plan • Innovative Networks • Technology Feasibility Evaluation Strategy
Background • Department Stores all over the world are trying different techniques to grab consumer interest • Promoting various items (sale or clearance) require special attention • Paper based displays are widely used today
The Problem Today’s methods: • Not re-useable • Human error • High cost • Slow deployment • Inconsistent • Static
Requirement • Visually Appealing • High quality display is a must for high standards • Wireless • For appearance and ease of installation • Low Power and Self Sustaining • Critical as the signs must have a lifespan between 3-5 years • Easy Installation and Low Maintenance • To change the content dynamically
Look Out, Here They Come Zybersigns – The e-ink based active display • Highly re-useable • Automated – immune to human error • One time investment • Instantaneous deployment • Consistent • Dynamic display – animations
Quick Facts • Robust promotional display solution • Lowest total cost of ownership • Self-powered technology • Wireless-connectivity • Complete integration with existing price look up systems and signage systems such as FedSign
Solution Benefits • Saves Time • Content can be changed in a matter of seconds from a remote location • Increase Accuracy • Eliminates the human error factors involved when the content is changed by Store Personnel • Affordable • Utilizing cutting-edge technology that uses low cost components • Decrease Clutter • Eliminates need of paper signs and can be reused
Technology • Display • E-ink • Communication Interface • Mesh Network • Power Source • Solar Cell with rechargeable battery
E-ink Advantage contd; • Superior Look • Uses ink and paper • Retains the superior viewing characteristics of paper • Includes high contrast, wide viewing angle (180°), and bright paper-white background • Versatile • Can be printed on almost any surface, from plastic to metal to paper • Can be coated over large areas cheaply
E-ink Advantage • Low Power • Real power miser. • Displays an image even when the power is turned off. • Legible even in low light, reducing the need for a backlight. • Power is consumed only when image is changed which extends battery life of portable devices significantly. • Scaleable • Electronic ink process is highly scaleable, which makes it competitive against today’s technologies. • Proven Technology • Product life of 3-5 years
Communication • Lowest power consumption with low data rate • Perfect for this application • Cheaper than other methods • $2 vs $7 (Bluetooth) • Doze and Hibernate modes • Does not consume power when the network is inactive
Reliable Include thousands of devices (264) Installed in hours, no sophisticated planning needed Network is self-configuring Error rate is low Satisfies conflicting demands of redundancy, distributed communications, flexibility, and reliability. Communication – Mesh Network Self-configuring, self-healing networks are inherently less expensive to install and maintain
Project Concept • “Innovative Networks” for implementation • Solution Components - Display Panel, Firmware, Communication, Power Supply, Backend Integration • Evaluate options and arrive at best provider
How It Operates • Reinvents the business strategy • Helps to be ahead of the competition • Culture which honors new ideas • Skilled blending of powerful communities • “Think together creatively and collaboratively “
Objective • Achieve faster development and best long term implementation • Enable greater business agility • Look after interest of each party Commitment to the objective should be available from all parties involved
Technology Synergy • Industrial Design • Communication Technology • Remote Device Agent • Firmware • Integration • Manufacturing • Staging and Deployment
Philosophy • Hardware and Software must be based on standard technology through out the project cycle • Have alternative suppliers for hardware, manufacturing and deployment • All processes and documentation must adhere to CMMI Level 3 standards.
Making It A Success • Source Code will be owned by FSG • The project will be handled and managed by FSG • Assistance and advice from Zone24x7 leadership representation with value addition
