WHSmith Travel

Posted on by

My first introduction to the digital signage sector back in 2002 was working with the WHSmith Travel and Retail digital signage network. The network consists of over 200 LCD and plasma screens, rack mounted media players, web browsers, interactive kiosks, exterior digital signposts, live train timetables and in-store POP (point of purchase) screens.

The network spanned over 60 stores in all major airports and railways stations throughout the UK, including Selfridges and AXA’s HQ, and all major USA airports.

My involvement in this project included:-

• Helpdesk support
• Software development
• Project management
• Custom playback reporting
• Installations
• Internal IT support

My key achievements included developing a digital signage network monitoring system which took screen captures, health information and last login details. This information was used to populate a web page front-end. This was used on a daily basis to solely monitor the network.
