Highest Reliability with

Wired ePaper Signage

Create interactive yet elegant digital signage solutions with the 9.7-inch and 13.3-inch PoE ePaper signs that feature touch buttons, RFID/NFC and Power over Ethernet – all conveniently managed through a Content Management Server. Furthermore, the intrinsic properties of ePaper guarantee that the displayed image is preserved even after the loss of power.

The PoE product line features an extremely low total cost of ownership, as there are no recurrent costs, the CMS is installed on-site and the ePaper signs can be used 24/7 for years without any maintenance.

The solution is trusted by respectable public institutions – Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Estonian National Museum, University of Tartu. All of our clients have either expanded or discussed potential expansions within one year of their first project, illustrating the benefits of the solution.

ePaper Signs via the CMS

The ePaper signs display pre-rendered PNG images that are stored in the internal flash memory together with a configurable sequence engine. Following the rules in the configuration file, the sequencer coordinates the image updates in response to card scans, touch button presses and timeout events.

The ePaper signs connect to the Content Management Server via Ethernet, which enables the management of all devices and their content via a single Web interface.

The key features include:

  • System Status
  • Content Management
  • Sequencer Configuration
  • Custom Integrations via an API
  • User Authentication

Show Real-Time Updates on ePaper Signs via the API

Plenty of applications require real-time updates on the contents shown on the ePaper signs, e.g. lecture schedules, room booking or medical information boards.

These solutions implement custom middleware that bridges the gap between the application-specific information sources and the ePaper signs by implementing the following steps:

  1. Fetching information from external databases
  2. Rendering HTML with the latest contents over a design template
  3. Converting the HTML page to a PNG image
  4. Uploading the image to a PoE ePaper sign via the API

Configure a Single ePaper Sign Without the CMS

The Content Management Server is perfect for larger installations but might be too complex for projects that require only a few ePaper signs. To simplify smaller installations, serverless configuration is featured in all PoE ePaper signs through an internal configuration interface that is served via the device’s Ethernet interface.

The functionality of the ePaper signs can be configured in serverless mode through 5 quick steps:

  1. Supply power to the ePaper sign and connect it to your computer via Ethernet by using a 48 V PoE capable network switch or a 48 V power adapter with a PoE injector
  2. Change the Ethernet configuration of your computer to manual and set the IP address – 192.168.1.2/24
  3. Open a browser and type the address – http://192.168.1.8
  4. Log in using the default user and password – admin
  5. Configure the ePaper sign and build beautiful solutions

CMS Setup

When using a Content Management Server, 48 V PoE network switches are used to provide power and connectivity for ePaper signs. The CMS is connected to the same LAN or VLAN as the devices and all ePaper signs are managed by a single server. The configuration and management of signs can be performed using computers connected to the same network via the CMS Web UI or via the CMS API.

Serverless Setup

When using a serverless setup, 48 V PoE network switches or PoE power adapters provide power and connectivity for ePaper signs. The signs are configured one by one by connecting to the Web UI provided by the internal servers run in all ePaper signs.
