32 01732 759725 DIGITAL SIGNAGE & CONNECTIVITY Ship-shape signage DENEVA helps Brittany Ferries transform passenger experience with digital signage solution Brittany Ferries is aiming to provide a more engaging experience for passengers with the installation of a new digital signage solution from DENEVA on three of its flagship vessels, Galicia, Salamanca and Santoña. The French shipping company is installing more than 200 players across the three ferries, driving a combination of signage, primarily based on the Windows and LG WebOS operating systems, for corporate/entertainment information and menu boards, and ELO Touch interactive displays for more personalised passenger services. The solution comes with service desk support, including troubleshooting, bespoke advice and training for the Brittany Ferries team. A key element of the phased deployment is a multi-lingual InfoKiosk specifically designed for Brittany Ferries, through which passengers can access weather and travel information, such as the ship’s current position, itineraries and local transfer schedules; a Taking paper off the menu Historic Belgian restaurant replaces printed posters with ‘zero power’ Philips Tableaux displays Nenuphar, a stylish riverside restaurant and eight-room hotel in Belgium, is transforming inhouse communications with the installation of four ‘zero-power’ Philips Tableaux Advanced Colour ePaper (ACeP) displays from PPDS. Located on the banks of the river Leie in Afsnee – a submunicipality of the city of Ghent – with a history dating back to 1795, the Nenuphar is a popular destination and overnight retreat for locals and tourists seeking a serene atmosphere away from the digital magazine with articles about destinations and activities; information on cabin availability and rates, with on-screen reservations; and an onboard boutique catalogue, featuring a selection of fashion items, cosmetics, souvenirs and regional items, centrally managed through DENEVA’s product portal to ensure up-to-date information on availability, prices and descriptions. Challenges at Sea Brittany Ferries selected DENEVA’s digital signage solution for its flexibility, scalability and reliability. In a maritime environment where connectivity can be intermittent or unavailable, DENEVA’s seamless integration with the ships’ systems and ability to display real-time information even in areas with no connectivity was a big attraction. It is able to do this thanks to a decentralised architecture that synchronises a central server with local servers on each ship, enabling autonomous operation and content availability even in the absence of connectivity. With support for custom developments and useful management tools, the solution has allowed Brittany Ferries to improve operational efficiency and provide personalised services that enhance the passenger experience. For example, deneva.Control enables crew members to manage content via mobile devices and display real-time updates based on the onboard environment, for example broadcasting safety videos or displaying content based on a passenger’s location. Steven Perrot, Project Development Manager – Ports & Onboard Experience at Brittany Ferries, said: “Thanks to our collaboration with DENEVA, we have simplified our internal processes and provided a more personalised and engaging travel experience for our passengers. DENEVA, with its extensive expertise in the sector, has successfully tackled the challenges of connectivity at sea and developed highly intuitive ad hoc solutions that meet our specific needs.” https://www.denevads.es/en/ busy streets of Ghent city centre. Its owners take pride in celebrating Belgian culture, from locally sourced drinks and cuisine to interior walls decorated with paintings by one of the fathers of Flemish Expressionism, Ghentborn Gustave De Smet (1877- 1943). Recently, they have shown the same care in enhancing their sustainability credentials by installing four 25in, near-zero-power Philips Tableaux ACeP displays in the bar, restaurant, function room and restrooms as an alternative to printed posters. The Philips Tableaux range, which also includes 13in and 32in models, provides vivid imagery 24 hours a day, seven days a week, even when unplugged and without using a kW of power for days, weeks or even years. Minimal power is only required to change the displayed image or for remote management. Augmented with PPDS’ professional Android SoC processor, as well as WiFi/LAN, the displays inside the Nenuphar can be managed manually on-site or entirely remotely.
