Brief

Austrian municipality Schwarzenberg installed wall-mounted outdoor digital info point to promote local businesses and to interact with locals.

Situation analysis

Schwarzenberg is a municipality in the Bregenz Forest in the western Austrian state of Vorarlberg. The village center is heritage-protected for its traditional rustic wooden houses. Primary sources of income are crafts and tourism.

To better promote tourist offers, local businesses, and municipality specialties, they wanted to update tourist information info point, with the deployment of digital signage. Their main concern was the IT burden (regular maintenance and constant on-site visits).

Solution

The most appropriate solution was imotion FLOW 46 Walmount outdoor digital sign with integrated touchscreen and IP56 steel enclosure suitable for public spaces.

FLOW product line convinced them because it’s already a proven solution installed in more than 1000 locations. Integrated free Controlmotion remote monitoring software blew away their fear of constant on-site visits, as its intelligent diagnostic feature makes maintenance easy.

Public display

The village center got a digital, interactive message board which is promoting local businesses and tourist attractions and delivers important information about the community.
