Basic functions

The Device Management System within our Xperify platform is a crucial component that allows organizations to have control over all hardware and device-related aspects in their interactive experience center. This system is designed to optimize efficiency, management and performance.

Here is a detailed explanation of how it works:

Location Management

We start by organizing devices based on their physical locations. This means that you have an overview of all your locations or different rooms within your experience center.

Device management

Within each location you can see a list of the devices present. Each device is accurately identified and labeled. We reach further than just PCs and screens. Consider a wide range of controllable devices, from smoke machines, screen lifts, doors and curtains to LED strips and spotlights. The platform is designed to integrate and streamline all aspects of the interactive experience where device actions are customized.

Location and device status management

You have the option to activate or deactivate locations, which is useful for things like opening hours or specific events. For individual devices, you can perform different actions such as start, stop, reload content, restart, refresh, and so on.

Open

Open

Presets

Settings for the devices are determined under the menu item “presets”. This could be, for example, the color settings of LED lighting, the different modes of a roller blind (open, half, closed), etc.

Preview

A notable feature of our DMS is the “Preview” button for each device. This allows you to view in real-time on your own computer what is currently displayed on the screen of that specific device. This is useful to ensure that the content is displayed correctly and to identify any problems immediately.

Steps to use the preview function:

You can open an online preview in your browser for each type in your exhibit

1. Click on the ‘preview’ icon of the desired type

2. The preview opens in a new tab

Attention: if your application starts with a video, you must click in your browser during loading. Otherwise, Chrome will not load the video.

 Set resolution on own laptop screen:
