With customized UI, the new meeting room screens are more practical than prior, especially the Miracast. With a simple press, Miracast starts in a blink, no matter whether the files are stored in Laptop, iPad or mobile. With around control system, the lecturer can control Laptop or iPad from meeting room screens. It means the lecturer doesn’t have to come back and forth among devices. And the splitting screen is another light spot, taking maximum use of the screen size. It permits 4 devices displaying on the screen simultaneously, which indeed is convenient in data comparison.

Convenience and consideration carries on and throughout the meeting process. For example, a welcome UI page for all attendees, a comment with electronic tagging, a record with QR code scanning, etc. After all, the customized system contains lots of practical plugins, such as Timer, World Clock, Alarm.  It’s a great help in cross-time zone meetings. Another improvement is the cursor free demo. Lecturer can move around in the meeting room, still able to go on with tagging, paging,  demonstrating. All makes the meeting more fun than boredom.

Meeting room screens are configured with dual-core 64-bit ARM Cortex A53 processor, dual-core Mali450 graphics card, and UHD panel with 4K signals in, by which even those sitting at corner or last row can have a clear view. HDR, NTSC and and high-end configurations are the main features of the new arrival.

Meeting room screens are supportive to HDMI 2.0, USB 3.0, DVI, VGA, LAN, RS232, and compatible with many an external device. It makes multiple devices working on ONE screen at same time. It’s amazing that depth of the meeting room screens is not thick at all, though with so many inputs and outputs. Cleverly, the modules are designed hidden in the metal enclosure. The screens look never more than so contracted,  so graceful, so light, and so much with free space.

COVID-19, the epidemic never expected in 2020, hurts everyone. But it also pushes forward with communications. People are after the efficiency. As a consequence, demand of meeting room screens booms up. With a keen insight into market, SUNTUNE launched series of meeting room screens, among which 55 inch, 65 inch, 75 inch and 86 inch are the four most popular. SUNTUNE was proud to take the lead in donating screens to hospitals at the beginning of corona virus.

At the age of AI and 5G, SUNTUNE will continue improving the quality of meeting room screens, making them more intelligent, and more affordable to public.

Last September an unmanned restaurant named Chongqing Noodle was opened in Shenzhen. It aroused a wide concern because it reminded people of Eatsa, the first global unmanned restaurant in Los Angeles, which is said running unwell currently. However, the head of Chongqing Noodle emphasized that time had changed since 2015, now that he had signed an agreement with a high-tech company and taken their cooking machines, by which he could have 150 meals prepared all at one time. SUNTUNE has the honor to be the supplier of all 20 restaurant ordering machines.

In the mind of consumers, perhaps the unmanned restaurant means no more than self ordering and self paying, while the restaurant ordering machine no more than a touch screen menu. The machine, though not so eye-catching, has invisible value in unmanned services. At least, you don’t have to wait without knowing what is going on with your order.

First of all, you need to choose menu on the restaurant ordering machine, submit the order, and accomplish the payment via WeChat or Alipay. At same time, a receipt will be printed out, on which the info is synchronized to both you and kitchen, by which you’ll learn how many people in queue, how long you need to wait. No name called in due order, only meals message sent by phone, or by a beep machine on your table to inform you the meals ready. Believe it or not, by restaurant ordering machine, it takes no more than 30 seconds to complete the whole process!

It’s said that McDonald’s is also working for its smart food ordering system. Consumers can come to the counter, or use their cellphone to book meals, then take the seat wherever available, scan the QR code on the table and send the signal for location, food will be delivered directly to the table.

As a matter of fact, Eatsa, Chongqing Noodle, McDonald’s, they all have behaved on behalf of the future catering industry, I.E., relying on mobile devices and restaurant ordering machines, minimizing human services, improving efficiency, and lowering labor fee. All in all, to avoid poor manual service, while to enhance the dining experience at all costs.

With restaurant ordering machines, the unmanned restaurants are more convenient, more leisure, and more peaceful. Consumers are no need of time to queue or wait, or ask for help. To catering managers, it saves labor cost, reduces cash risk, but holds all records of consumption, which is helpful in data analysis and later strategy adjustment. Hence it’s a very promising business model. Although restaurants are unmanned, it doesn’t mean lack of caring and quality. On the contrary, it provides consumers a fresher scenario, and helps managers lay down for more recipes and purchases.

With the development of technologies, more and more industries will be changed forever. The case of Chongqing Noodle tells us that traditional industries have no more advantages in the new era. It’s also plain that waiters, chefs, shop assistants will lose their jobs to AI machines. The restaurant ordering machine is only a beginning. If you don’t work hard, you will be eliminated. It sounds cruel, but it’s already happening.

An unprecedented business and professional revolution has arrived!

SUNTUNE manufactured some tabletop kiosks for Europe (Here download the pictures). By feedback, digital marketing and mobile advertising are still the main fields for newly added advertising costs. However, the whole industry is in reformation, with the help of big data, AI, IoT and other technological advances. For example, contents are in transit from man creativity to machine creativity. Believe it or not, the digitization is now leading in advertising industry, and programmatic buying the mainstream way.

With AI joined in, the table top kiosk, together with other interactive touch screens, can be a strong helper in the new retail, specially when it’s laid outdoor, where people are more willing to consume. As for the changes it brings in for the offline sale, let’s take tabletop kiosk as a representative for all interactive multimedia kiosks in this article, and make an analysis following the points hereby as below.

1. Consumers Insight
In offline selling, targeting consumers is the premise of all activities. However, the traditional targeting depends a lot on subjectivity, there’s no way to tell details for all consumers either. AI is different, it can get consumers identified, keep records of their favor, forecast their consumption, lower the launch cost, and improve the marketing effectiveness. At the present time, interactive kiosks by SUNTUNE have been enabled with AI already.

2. Contents Creativity
As it’s known, most marketing ideas and designs are done artificially, with too long period of production and lack of creativity, unable to satisfy the interests of different consumers. Empowered with AI, however, the interactive tabletop kiosk can integrate and analyse materials in a short time, then generate options for marketing posters according to propaganda, marketing scenario, and consumers identification, which does save a lot of time for creativity, while attracts more attention from targeted customers.

3. Interaction Enabled
Thanks to the universal mobile devices, interactive technologies are soon well known by public, with the first wave as QR code, AR, mini programs, and later the more innovative as face identification, voice interaction, screen interaction, live broadcast, etc. The new technologies lead to a remarkable sensory experience.

4. Audience On Demand (AOD)
Programmed pattern, LBS (Location Based Services), IP empowerment, Real time optimization, these are the key functions of the tabletop kiosk. AI technology, by classifying and analyzing from big data, can find out the targeted consumers as well as their preferences, to help advertisers make the best choice on scenes, contents and time, to reduce the costs while achieve the optimal marketing effect.

5. Performance Evaluation
It’s no more a news for faked advertisements running on internet. To honest advertisers, it’s completely an unfair competition. However, when accomplished the renovation of digital transformation and integration, advertisers can see through the whole marketing process, including editing, publishing, analyzing, integrating, and completing the data report in the end. Digitization has not only helped advertisers save budgets, but also ensured the propaganda and its security from malicious competitions.

SUNTUNE is more inclined to improve this AI plus digitization supported marketing system, and have it applied on all future tabletop kiosks.

Benefited from good policy, more and more scenarios are tried out for commercial display monitors. And so the display industry finds its opportunity growing steady for years. However, in the spotlight of IoT, Big Data, AI, the commercial displays get smarter, which means the trend will continue upward but with a sort of new momentum.

This growth spurt brings in not only opportunities, but also competitions. SUNTUNE has the faith that only those who are more proactive in marketing can get a head start on development. Only those who can focus on products upgrading and innovation will be leading in the competition.

As for the trend of commercial display monitor, we can gain an insight in three ways.

1. Participation and Experience
In the first stage, advertisements are transferred from paper to screens, from stand-alone to network, from Linux to Windows, then Android. Commercial displays got its first step for all things connected.
In the second stage, the keyword is EMPOWERMENT. By hardware the display monitors are engaged with touch screen, card reader, printer, camera etc, while by software the APP comes more sophisticated. No matter what, the core is PARTICIPATION. Without participation, there will be no interaction. Without interaction, the empowerment means nothing, nowhere could we find the operation data either.
But how to make customers stick to your commercial display monitors instead of your competitors’? The way is to enhance the experience. Then commercial displays come to its third stage. AI has empowered the displays with smartness, enabling the machines to listen, speak, watch, even think on its own. AI makes it easy to participate, while the experience more exciting. It’s the momentum that the commercial display monitors can be so popular in a short span.

2. Location bonus and Demand creation
At early stage, commercial display monitors grew on the location bonus, but this bonus is decreasing, which led to a low utilization of earlier devices. Hence the digital display manufacturers need to find new demands, or create the demands if need be.
Take the self service device for an example. To solve the queuing problem, self service ticket vending machine emerged. To help the fast food ordering, restaurant self service machine followed. To ease the headache of parking spot, the parking kiosk allowed fee deducted via electronic payment, cars can come or go in a minute. That’s the demand creation, by which not only the pain points get solved, the location continues releasing its bonus as well.

3. Social terms and Brand strategy
In layman’s mind, there is no the word “commercial display monitor”, because it’s not a generic term, unlike “Phone” or “TV” known by millions of people. For this reason, it’s worthwhile to keep on reinforcing the concept of “commercial display monitor”, so as to make it become one of the social terms. In the view of BRAND, fewer are there brands concerned with “commercial display” or “commercial monitor”. People would rather search by “advertising player” or “digital photo booth” to get the products they need. It’s completely different from searching specific names such as Apple, HUAWEI, DJI, NEC, etc. Therefore, manufacturers and distributors shall take brand establishment in priority, and promote the brand popularity in this competitive market.

Above all, the commercial display monitor has developed for 10 years. It comes to the stage of upgrading now, while the year 2020, when all of us are busy fighting with COVID-19, can be seen as Commercial Display 4.0. It’s a milestone for commercial display industry to greet with a new round of opportunities, though the market gets more complicated. Given that, SUNTUNE is adjusting its development strategies for next five years, which will be shared with public in the early of July.

We all love the urban landscape lighting. It makes the nightlife so colorful. However, it’s not right to exclude the led display light while think lighting means illumination only. Actually, LED display light has won many places in urban modernization, which is embodied in projects like led glow ball, led video curtain, led wall display, led mesh screen, and so on.

LED display light with creation can raise up the commercial value of a landscape, especially when the landscape means for a building. By now, one-fold display has been a past to the building landscape, outdoor display, sphere display, brick display, curved display, rotating display, too many displays to see. They bring in the popularity of commerce, or known as landmarks of a city.

LED display light leads to huge numbers of creative displays. For example, led panels have succeeded in integration with technologies such as naked-eye 3D, man-machine interaction, VR(AR), which makes the urban lighting only more alive. Meanwhile, creative displays can also work together with light carving, making the lighting projects brilliant even more. The HD video giant advertising led tv wall, so striking with impact, not only satisfies the advertising requirements, but also meets up with the city beautification. One thing I have to say, the led outdoor display has no more pestered by lights pollution. On the contrary, with latest technologies, the led display can adapt itself to the surroundings, automatically. Hence it has a unique role in the current urban developments.

No doubt the creative led displays are relatively expensive. But the growth doesn’t be held back. After all, creative displays are a kind of product with high added values. Although costs and risks exist at same time, it’s exactly where the charm is by customization. Moreover, what customers content is the value returned. For this reason, the manufacturers shall stick to own uniqueness, find more new demands from markets, and take a good use of whatever technologies they possess, if they want to come out of the homogeneous competition.

Above all, the landscape lighting is an indispensable part in urban development, while led display light plays an important role in whole process. Since it’s the creative displays required in markets, we have reasons to believe it will be the brands with innovation that will survive in competition.
