According to a recent Nielsen consumer survey, digital signage at the point-of-sale considerably increases brand awareness by 14 percent and, more importantly, increases sales by as much as 33 percent. It?s one of many data points that underscore the worldwide growth of digital signage systems. Simply put, they work. They?re also complex. Coupling end-user performance and price requirements with an extensive array of moving parts, the solution options and combinations can become mind-boggling. Making matters worse, few standards are in place for digital signage solutions, resulting in compatibility and interoperability issues between media players and displays. This not only hinders quick implementation, it increases cost and reduces the solution?s lifespan due to faster obsolescence of key components.

Advertising continuously makes a leap to keep pace with the modern world. From conventional signs and solutions, advertising has gone digital, with digital signage continuously generating popularity and diversifying to make its presence felt in both public and private spaces

Public sectors have demanding applications for Ethernet, especially in Traffic Control. Major intersections in a city can be monitored real-time through Ethernet by traffic management center personnel. The management center can control traffic lights, take pictures of intersections, and record live traffic feeds to store for reference later on. Axiomtek's rBOX series and iCON series integrate control, communication, management, and video to fulfill demanding requirements in traffic control applications. Our robust design is perfect for outdoor installations, with operating temperatures ranging from -40?C to +75?C and high humidity. Our Ethernet devices are compliant with NEMA TS1 & TS2 environmental requirements for traffic control equipment.

With the rapid growth in automobile technology, in-vehicle infotainment system is increasingly prevalent within transportation application like fleet management, logistic and warehouse, and police enforcement system. These applications require robust and reliable solutions due to their harsh working environments. Three major factors in these applications are: hazardous power input, seamless connectivity, and tough environment support.

For many people living in metropolitan areas, rail rapid transit is their main form of transportation. Top priority for rail transit companies is to ensure system stability and passenger safety. Axiomtek's networkingand embedded devices integrates a variety of I/O ports to support different interfaces to enable video, voice, and data transmission needed for passenger entertainment, emergency intercoms, and video surveillance. Moreover, our networking and embedded devices are comprised of high quality components with advantages of wide temperature range and longer MTBF.

Railway rolling stock comprises of all vehicles that move on a railway. This heavy-duty transportation of vehicles requires accurate timing, reliable and consistent system platform.

The reason why most people are unwilling to take buses is because it takes much time for people living in the city waiting for the buses due to no idea how soon the bus will show up or not able to catch up with bus in time. The e-bus station presents the information and shows the message of the bus route number, the current location of the bus, the numbers of the bus stops between the current stop, and the arrival time. Connect with the GPS and use the GPRS to pass the information to the network control center in the most accurate and fastest way. The GPRS passes the information between the network control center and the bus driver, in order to give the best quality and safety to the passenger. The duty of the network control center is to receive and send the information between the bus and the e-station. An intelligent e-Bus solution can provide passengers with bus arrival time information using electronic signs at bus stops, smart phones, web pages, and even automated telephone information systems. E-Bus system helps to know well the exact location of each bus in real-time to avoid any worries during waiting for the bus.

The advantages of automation are higher rates of production, safety, quality control, short lead times, and more. Take beverage factories for instance, they implement the automated system to production line that increased productivity because the automated system is better and more intelligent approach to cost containment and reduction. Compared with the different quality made by humans, automated systems typically perform the manufacturing process with can work longer hours, and perform many tasks faster, more accurately, and with less variability, than human workers. They are applied to the inspection line and logistics management as well controlling the use of material and stock more efficient. Moving to automated system yields a good return on investment.

HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system) is important in the design of industrial and office buildings. The main purposes of a HVAC system are to help maintain good indoor air quality through adequate ventilation with filtration and provide thermal comfort. Three functions, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, are often combined into one system in today's modern homes and buildings. HVAC system improves in energy efficiency; as a result, you can save money and increase your comfort by properly maintaining and upgrading your HVAC equipments. Less energy consumption equals lower electricity bills. The higher the HVAC Energy Efficiency Ratings, the more energy efficient the equipment and the more money saved on energy costs.

Smart street lighting control system allows a city to schedule lights on or off easily and set dimming levels of lights so a city can provide the right level of lighting intelligently. Smart and intelligent street lighting control systems are designed primarily for energy efficiency. Cities using smart street lighting control system reduces their street lighting energy. Smart street lighting control systems accurately detect light failure and other maintenance problems in real time so malfunctions can be fixed quickly. This intelligent system provides the operator with web access for automatic or manual monitoring and control over illumination performance. Additional smart automation systems such as temperature and pollution sensors, traffic signals, security, fire detection, visibility conditions and traffic sensors may be integrated and supported easily.

Kiosks and Self-service terminals are at every corner we turn and are becoming a popular choice for many. With many years of excellence in functionality and design, Axiomtek's kiosks and self-service terminals seamlessly bring together a powerful and complete information solution for the enormous Kiosk and POS markets.

Nuclear Power plants need to maintain the highest standards of reliability, especially in the sensor sites, where it is most dangerous and harmful to individuals and the environment. Axiomtek now brings rugged automation solutions to factory and plant operations by offering various Ethernet-enabled product solutions to fulfill different requirements of industrial automation. In the diagram below, we setup two Ethernet-ring infrastructures by industrial managed Ethernet switches in the plant area. The first ring for sensors adopts the PoE Ethernet switches with PoE IP camera so that operators can monitor hazardous equipment with their corresponding temperature, level, pressure and status, and is also equipped with our DIN-rack fanless embedded system to support the A/ D I/O modules onsite. Through the Ethernet connectivity, it can work with industrial PLC devices to control a machine or equipment. The second ring is for the control center. The two Ethernet rings both support ? ?-ring coupling? and ??-ring? technologies to fit various installation environments.

Power substations transport electricity from power plants to homes, businesses, and factories, and are a critical component of the smart grid.
