Gowan Group subsidiary KAL provided the NordMende Digital Wayfinding system at the 2015 Web Summit at the RDS in Dublin. Powered by Android, the 40 ceiling-mounted digital signs had a specific task of directing patrons to any given stage.
A 'Now/Next' RSS feed was implemented to show what speaker was at which stage and when.
The responsive nature of the signage network allowed Pixel Soup to react to unexpected changes in the event line up. If a speaker didn't turn up, or the schedule needed to change, the signs could be updated in seconds to provide relevant information.
The scheduling feature allowed the Pixel Soup team to plan the day well in advance, and use the content management system to react to unexpected developments in a timely manner. At the end of each day of the event, all the screens changed to a green “EXIT” content design, pointing everyone toward their nearest exit. The same method could be deployed in case of emergency.
NordMende will also be powering wayfinding messaging at Collision New Orleans, Rise Hong Kong and Surge Bengalaru in 2016.
