Kurt Vangerven, PPDS Sales Manager Benelux, added: “At PPDS, we’re committed to supporting our customers, not only in supplying them with industry leading, and often world first, visual solutions, but also in helping them to achieve their sustainability goals – something as a business we’re incredibly passionate about. It’s always an exciting moment when we are able to help like-minded businesses like Nenuphar achieve their sustainable ambitions.” www.ppds.com A technological breakthrough in design and engineering, Philips Tableaux from PPDS is the world’s first ACeP display series to be launched by a global display manufacturer. Ticking all boxes for the Nenuphar team, the display range, which also includes 13in and 32in models, delivers unprecedented environmental and energy savings, providing 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 with minimal training. Personalised experiences Content can be created for individual displays or for sharing across the entire estate, from special offers, restaurant menus and safety messaging to a library of paintings by Gustave De Smet. Because Philips Tableaux displays are portable (they weigh just 3.5kg) and don’t require a power point, potential applications, inside and outside (protective casing required), are almost limitless. Staff can create a setlist of content to be displayed at specific times of the day (i.e. when the menu changes), for in-house marketing (e.g. happy hour, live music) or for business branding during corporate events. They can also respond to changing circumstances with ad hoc messages, such as weather announcements, unplanned in-house promotions or congratulatory messages for customers celebrating special occasions. Since installing the displays the Nenuphar has identified additional marketing opportunities, while also significantly reducing paper wastage and poster printing costs, so much so that Operations Director Guillaume De Breyne considers the project a complete success. “Our new Philips Tableaux digital poster displays fit right into the ethos and the aesthetics of Nenuphar, enabling us to take a more sustainable approach that The stylish riverside Nenuphar restaurant and boutique eight-room hotel in Afsnee, Belgium is ‘revolutionising’ in-house communications with the help of four ‘zero power’ 25-inch Philips Tableaux Advanced Colour ePaper (ACeP) displays from PPDS. Located on the scenic banks of the river Leie in Afsnee – a sub-municipality of the city of Ghent – and with a history dating back to 1795, the Nenuphar is a popular ‘high-end’ destination and overnight retreat for locals and tourists seeking a welcoming and serene atmosphere away from the busy streets of Ghent city centre. Its owners take pride in providing an experiential celebration of Belgian culture, from locally sourced drinks and cuisine to interior walls decorated with paintings by one of the fathers of Flemish Expressionism, Ghent-born Gustave De Smet (1877-1943). Recently, they have shown the same care in enhancing their sustainability credentials and reducing their ecological footprint by replacing printed paper with a user-friendly digital solution. The power for change Teaming up with local AV integration specialist TechWorks, the Nenuphar team immediately recognised the potential of the multi-award-winning Philips Tableaux Advanced Colour ePaper digital signage series to cut paper waste and took the decision to install four 25in portable models in the bar, restaurant, event and restroom areas. Seamlessly integrated into these elegant spaces, without distracting from the curated ambiance, the stylish Philips Tableaux displays have transformed the way the Nenuphar communicates with its customers, eliminating paper – with near zero power consumption.
