Aeion Signage for Corporate Campus Wayfinding
Lobby directories, floor wayfinding boards, and meeting-room displays across every building on campus — driven by live room, occupancy, and event data, managed as display groups instead of one screen at a time, and interruptible in seconds by an emergency broadcast. It's the same signage engine that runs your retail and menu-board screens, pointed at a very different problem: helping people find their way.
What "wayfinding" means here — and what it doesn't
Aeion Signage ships a wayfinding slide-element type and a wayfinding template category, alongside a full palette of elements — text, shape, image, video, icon, chart, table, data widget, timer, QR code, clock, ticker/marquee, RSS feed, embed, and a QR gateway for handing a visitor off to their phone. That's the honest scope: you build directory boards, floor maps, and "you are here" screens as designed slides, and drive them with live data.
Live campus data on every board
The boards aren't static posters. Live Data Bindings resolve {{ path }} variables from connected Aeion modules directly onto slide elements, refreshed on a per-binding interval (default 60 seconds):
Manage a fleet, not a pile of screens
A campus is dozens of displays across floors and buildings. Aeion treats them as a managed fleet.
Dayparting for a working campus
Time-Based Scheduling drives the day's rhythm. Schedules evaluate by day-of-week, time window, date range, and priority, resolving overlaps deterministically:
Emergency broadcast — the feature you hope never fires
On a campus, the most important thing a display can do is stop showing the directory. An emergency broadcast can interrupt any playlist on any screen with an override message — fire alarm test, weather warning, security incident — and:
Design once, keep the whole campus consistent
Consistency across hundreds of boards is a brand problem, not just a logistics one.
FAQ
No — and we'd rather be clear about that. Aeion ships wayfinding **displays**: directory boards, floor guides, "you are here" screens, and meeting-room panels, built as designed slides and driven by live data. It does not do beacon-based indoor positioning or phone route guidance. A QR gateway element can hand a visitor to a mobile page, but the routing engine itself isn't part of this module.
Yes. Live Data Bindings resolve occupancy paths from Smart Spaces and session/attendee paths from Events (plus any other connected module) directly onto slide elements, with conditional styles — for example marking a room "Occupied" once its live count crosses a threshold.
As display groups. Group screens by building, floor, or purpose and push a schedule or a remote command to the whole group in one action. New screens self-register by scanning a QR code, and every display reports health on a heartbeat so you catch a dark board early.
An emergency broadcast interrupts any playlist on any targeted screen with an override message, requires operator confirmation to start, supports per-zone targeting for a single building or floor, and auto-reverts when the emergency clears.
Playlists resolve with their content bundled, so the board keeps playing on schedule through a brief drop. Any queued remote command (refresh, restart, playlist swap, message) delivers on the display's next heartbeat once it reconnects.
No. Any browser-capable device works — dedicated players (BrightSign, ScreenCloud, Yodeck-compatible), Android TV / Apple TV / Fire TV, embedded web players, or a full-screen browser on a PC.
