Merry Christmas from Display Solutions!

I don't know about you, but for all of us at DSL, we're finding it hard to believe that we're over half way through December already, and Christmas is only a week away! But that doesn't mean we're unprepared - the team here at HQ have been busy this month ensuring your products are delivered before we close our doors for the Christmas period. 

As this is the last blog post of the year, we would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. Thank you to everyone who visited us at EDS 2014, and of course, to our valued customers for continuing to use us as your preferred distributor! We are looking forward to working with you all in the New Year.

It’s been a tremendous year for Display Solutions, with plenty happening at HQ and a number of innovative new products being launched, so here’s a quick overview of the past 12 months for us...

• We exhibited at a new UK trade show EDS in Coventry in October, and saw great results! 
• We saw huge success with the Shuttle DS61 – Have you read about it yet? 
• We introduced a new vandal-resistant range from our in house brand, DisplayTouch – Did you see our product being put to the ultimate test?
• We created an online Social Media presence - Have you connected with us yet?
• We joined forces with a new PR Agency - We've been working with Technical Associates since June on our PR campaigns. For any 2015 media inquiries please give us a call on 01480 411600.
• We employed new staff - Diane (Accounts Executive), Zech (Internal Technical Sales Support & Brendan's right hand man) and I (Marketing Exec ) are all new to the Display Solutions team this year. 

And that’s not it! After having such a successful 2014 the team are looking forward to kicking of 2015 with a bang with some exciting new products from our partners Avalue, Shuttle and Litemax. But that’s not all that we've got in store for you next year; with the recent release of our vandal resistant touch monitor from DisplayTouch, we are looking forward to spreading the word about our innovative and cost effective in house brand. 

Please note, the offices will be shut between 24th December and 2nd January for the festive period.

Account Manager Brendan O'Reilly visits Electronica 2014

Electronica 2014 is Europe’s largest electronics exhibition, and celebrating its 50^th anniversary, it was a date secured in our diaries. With our sister company Components Bureau exhibiting at the show for the first time and a number of our suppliers having stands, Account Manager Brendan O’Reilly flew out to be a part of the show.

Brendan has been spending the past couple of days in Hall A3, where our suppliers Litemax and Innodisplay were exhibiting alongside some key players in the embedded and digital signage industries. The Account Manager explains “It is important to visit shows where our suppliers are exhibiting to keep up to date with the latest technologies which are being demonstrated. Trade shows are a fantastic opportunity for us to spot trends and network to find out more about what visitors are looking for. Electronica has a number of big names exhibiting alongside smaller companies, so it is always interesting to compare and speak to members on different levels and in different markets."

Our partner Litemax had an impressive variety of their sunlight readable and stretched displays on show. The Litemax display range can be used for indoor and outdoor applications, with previous installs including ticketing machines, information displays and kiosks. 

If you would like to find out more about our range of displays and embedded solutions, please visit our website at www.displaysolutions.co.uk For further information on our signage solutions or embedded systems, please contact the office on 01480 411600.

The Final Countdown to The Electronics Design Show

At last, we’re in the single figure countdown to the Electronics Design Show, which is being held on the 22^nd and 23^rd October at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry. The team are busy working behind the scenes to ensure our product range is ready to present to you next week on Stand H42. It's our first time exhibiting at the show, so we are looking forward to demonstrating our extensive product range in a new environment. 

Account Manager Brendan O’Reilly has been busy in the demo room this week prepping the latest product to be released from our DisplayTouch range before it is put to the test on our Stand (H42) next week. That's right, we're going to be conducting a drop test on our stand which will demonstrate just how durable the vandal proof displays are. Make sure you pay us a visit to stand H42 to be the first to view our brand new range of vandal proof displays and see them being put to the ultimate test! 

That’s not the only thing you can catch on Stand H42; we are going to be showing off some of our products from our partners Litemax, who specialise in sunlight readable solutions. We will be running the displays off some Shuttle barebone and Slim PC units, which have recently been in the spotlight after being highly commended when installed into a complex outdoor industrial environment.

Electronics Design Show Preview

We announced earlier in the year that we were to exhibit at the Electronics Design Show in October, at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, and we’re now in the 6 week countdown to the show! Here’s an insight into what you can expect to see on Stand H42 on the 22^nd and 23^rd October…

We are excited to announce that we will be unveiling our newest touchscreen products from our DisplayTouch range, which have been designed to resist strong impacts in exposed environments. 

The DTSF-17MOFP is the latest product to be added to Display Solutions’ own DisplayTouch range. This vandal-proof, open frame Projected Capacitive touchscreen features an optically bonded protective layer of glass secured over the PCAP touch sensor to enhance the performance of the display in outdoor environments. With a total 7.3mm glass stack-up thickness this provides superior resistance and protection from impacts whilst meeting the UL-60950 requirement. In addition, the edge-to-edge flush design enables easy cleaning, for a bacteria/dust free screen. Offering both multi-touch and gesture input, these screens are well-suited for a variety of high-performance touch applications, including kiosk, gaming and ticketing. The DTSF-17MOFP is available in a range of sizes, from 15” to 19”, and is Windows 7 compatible.

“Our DisplayTouch range offers proven durability, usability and originality,” comments Brendan O’Reilly, product manager at Display Solutions. “The range presents products ideal for any indoor environment, where a reliable, accurate and high-speed touchscreen experience is required. Working closely with system integrators in the entertainment, information, retail and education industries, we help develop fast and easy solutions to suit the ever growing demand for high-performance touchscreen technologies.”

However, that’s not the only new product we will be unveiling at the October show. We are pleased to be exhibiting our latest product from Shuttle, the DS81. The new DS81 is a slim, yet powerful embedded barebone PC. Shuttle’s DS81 supports the latest software and trends in high-performance digital signage. Pushing the limits in terms of interactivity and connectivity, the DS81 supports seamless playback of ultra-high definition video and graphics.

“The Electronics Design Show is a key event for Display Solutions,” continues O’Reilly. “Visitors to the stand will discover and experience our latest display technologies, which are underlined by our technological expertise and know-how within the digital signage sector and our ability to offer innovative solutions to meet the most challenging demands.” We're looking forward to showing off our latest product portfolio - we hope that you pay us a visit on Stand H42 to meet the team, ask any questions, and watch our product demonstrations.
