Introduction to CloudOn™ Display
Hibino Graphics, previously known as NGC, has recently launched an industry-first cloud-based signage service with its innovative "CloudOn™ Display." Available in 43-inch and 55-inch models, this product integrates Samsung's advanced display technology with Hibino's cloud signage service, VXT Standard. Sales commenced on July 2nd, offering a game-changing solution for businesses, particularly in the retail and food service sectors, where workforce shortages have become a significant challenge.
The Problem at Hand
As labor shortages escalate, retail and dining establishments struggle with operational pressures, making it imperative to adopt more efficient solutions. The CloudOn™ Display seeks to alleviate these issues by eliminating the cumbersome USB updates required for traditional digitized signage and removing the need for a set-top box (STB). This product allows users to perform simple setup through a pairing code, enabling them to begin operations independently.
Key Features of CloudOn™ Display
The CloudOn™ Display pairs Samsung's displays with Hibino's cloud service, creating a user-friendly package. Customers have the freedom to choose their desired display size and select service contract lengths ranging from one to five years, all without any additional contracts or fees. This simplicity is one of the key attractions of this new offering.
