Taipei International Flora Exposition features interactive digital signage on its “Pavilion of the Future”. The fifteen displays installed had to be industrial-grade, providing stable services in sub-optimal conditions, such as the dampness created by fog sprays designed to keep the floral arrangements fresh.
[1]Advantech was selected by the Flora expo management team and charged with the overall planning, consulting, construction, and maintenance of the project. A tight, three day schedule was imposed for completion and testing of the entire system, from hardware and software, to networking and power.
Advantech chose its UTC-520 which is an industrial-grade computing platform that is splash proof, fanless, and operates with low power. It is easily integrated with other expo content, and provides a stable system that can operate without interruption over long periods of time.
Terry Chang, Assistant Project Manager for Advantech’s iService department said, “The grooved edge of UTC-520 makes it easy to integrate different peripheral attachments without sacrificing looks. It also allows the exhibition service company to assemble their own display equipment. With UTC-520’s stylish design and adaptability, different event requirements can be easily satisfied, allowing the company to provide self-service and information delivery solutions to many different international exhibitions.”
Opened in November the Expo will end this April 25.
