businessinfomag.uk magazine 08 PPDS, exclusive global provider of Philips Professional Displays, is expanding the possibilities of its direct view LED (dvLED) displays with the launch of a new entry-level series that includes the company’s first ceiling-hoisted option. In addition to traditional wall-mounting, the Philips Public LED 5000 Series can be supplied with dedicated connection plates and hoisting/hanging bars that allow displays to be hoisted from a ceiling to a height of five metres. Other selling points of the 44in and 28in displays include entry-level pricing, making them a viable replacement for LCD screens in indoor public spaces, corporate offices, retail stores and entertainment venues; a choice of modules with different pixel pitches and dimensions to support a range of viewing distances; the ability to mix display sizes and orientation to support custom installs and reduce the square metre cost of installations, in some cases by as much as 40%; and built-in cable management and board-to-board LED modules that can cut installation times by 50% compared to conventional LED panels. Raising demand WHAT’S NEW INNOVATIONS Talk amongst yourselves New from retail communications specialist VoCoVo, the VoCoVo Link handsfree headset is designed to improve communications, customer service, worker safety and security in small and medium-sized retail outlets, including convenience stores. Its launch follows VoCoVo research showing that 85% of small retail stores have issues with communication in-store, such as not being able to speak to colleagues without customers hearing. Over half (51%) of small retailers currently use personal mobile devices to communicate with co-workers. link.vocovo.com Storage for home workers The Skandi Smart Cases range from Exacompta gives home workers a sustainable solution for tidying away stationery, desktop accessories and other work tools at the end of the working day. Made from 50% recycled polypropylene, the stackable units are foldable enabling them to be stored flat when not required. Skandi Smart Cases have been nominated for Filing & Storage Product of the Year in the 2024 Stationery Matters Awards taking place at the London Stationery Show on May 14-15. Another Exacompta product, the SMALL-BOX drawer set with a wide drawer for A4 documents and two smaller drawers for mobile phone, pens, stationery etc. is a finalist in the Working from Home Product of the Year category. www.exaclairlimited.com More than a gesture In partnership with integrated gesture control leader AMERIA AG, Sony Professional Displays & Solutions has created a non-touch solution that will work with any Sony professional display model without the need for protective glass. This includes BRAVIA 4K Professional Displays, like the brand-new, 98-inch FW-BZ53L (illustrated), and the latest generation of Crystal LED displays. Sony displays powered by AMERIA Touchfree Solutions enable customers in the corporate, education, retail, manufacturing and hospitality sectors to enjoy seamless gesture control without compromising Sony’s superior 4K picture quality and Deep Black Non-Glare coating. pro.sony/displays Translating data Pocketalk has supplemented its handheld translation devices, which provide instant translations into 84 languages and dialects, with the launch of an industryfirst software solution for administering devices and gaining insight into how they are used. Acting as an administrative hub, Ventana enables organisations to group, remotely manage and export/analyse data from Pocketalk devices. Jessica O’Dwyer, Pocketalk General Manager, Europe, said: “Many organisations engage with translation services in one form or another, whether it be in person, via a phone service or through software such as Google Translate. The challenge is that monitoring and analysing this activity is almost impossible, prohibiting organisations from making informed decisions when it comes to translation services based on need. With Ventana you can now get that crucial insight, from how many languages are being translated to where translation is most in demand or whether there is a new demand, all of which can help improve efficiency and resourcing in a cost effective, secure way.” Pocketalk.com
