CHICAGO — NEC Display Solutions of America Inc. announced a digital signage deployment project with Hospitality Partners and Omnivex software to provide a dynamic signage and wayfinding solution for Hyatt Regency Chicago.
The installation included 40-inch NEC MultiSync LCD4010 and 32-inch NEC MultiSync LCD3210 displays to cover the public areas and 228,000-sq. ft. of meeting space at the Hyatt.
Due to the high-traffic volume, traditional means of directional information were not providing timely updates as information changed. The Hyatt chose Hospitality Partners to integrate a full digital-signage, wayfinding solution to meet the needs of hotel visitors better.
"Not only are the NEC LCD displays and digital signage software functional and beneficial to hotel guests, but they also provide an elegantly pleasing addition to the hotel décor," said Martin Kwitschau, CEO of Hospitality Partners. "The display's sleek frame and the screen quality enable an extremely high-color scheme, which allows images on the display to match each location within the hotel. The displays look great and serve a useful purpose."
The combination of NEC LCD displays and Omnivex software eliminates or decreases the need for guests to read printed signs or consult hotel management for directions to their meeting rooms. The solution also can display real-time traffic, forecasted weather, or up-to-the-minute flight status. The Omnivex software customizes all content based on time of day, location, client requests and has the capability to direct individual meeting attendees to the proper meeting room by using RFID technology.
