AIS Partners with Dakota Audio to provide Digital Signage Solutions for Museums and Exhibits

American Industrial Systems, Inc. introduces a new line of information and interactive digital signage displays for museums and exhibits. AIS’ extensive line of museum digital signage monitors can display simple floor information, or completely interactive audio/visual information kiosks and pedestals for exhibits. Bringing on directional audio specialists, Dakota Audio, AIS has created a new level of experience at museums. Delivering a focused audio/visual presentation gives exhibitors a superior level of information compared to static signs. AIS offerings include stand-alone & networked digital signage players, displays, interactive touchscreens, and content management software for museums. Available from 5.67" to 65" sizes are available in many mechanical designs for flexible integration. Floor information displays, exhibit showcasing, navigation kiosks, and individual exhibit pedestals are just a few applications to create a new experience for museum patrons.

Give patrons control of the experience through the addition of interactive touchscreens and pushbuttons mated with AIS displays and Dakota Audio Focus Audio Speakers. Providing audio/visual digital signage for museums is fraught with challenges. Many times the spaces are open with little or no acoustic isolation between exhibits. Fortunately, with AIS Digital Signage Display with optional privacy filters and Dakota Audio directional audio arrays, it makes deploying a complete solution simple and effortless.

AIS digital signage displays’ content can be easily updated via wirelessly through LAN based content management software, eliminating the need to print new static signs for a layout change. Flexible monitor sizes, mounting options, and audio solutions make for a turn-key digital signage experience, in turn increasing traffic and attractiveness of exhibits and museums.
