Aeion Signage for Retail & In-Store Displays
Storefront windows, endcap screens, digital menu boards, and video walls all run on the same platform as your storefront and CRM — so a slide can show today's real order count, a promo deck can be generated from a text prompt, and you can prove with a real statistical test which creative actually drove more dwell time. Aeion Signage replaces a standalone signage vendor like Scala instead of bolting one onto a business it can't see into.
Why retail signage breaks
The usual in-store signage stack has three seams that never close:
Live data on the glass
Live Data Bindings resolve {{ path }} variables from any connected Aeion module and drop the real value onto a slide element. For retail that means:
Generate a campaign from a prompt
Describe the campaign in plain English and the AI Design Engine returns a ready-to-edit deck — slide layouts, background treatments, on-slide elements, speaker notes, and transition timing — plus a plain-language explanation of the choices it made.
Prove which creative sold — with statistics, not hunches
A/B Testing compares two variants on dwell time and engagement using Welch's t-test, a standard method for comparing two groups that may have different variances.
Dayparting, playlists, and one action for 40 screens
Time-Based Scheduling decides what plays, where, and when. Schedules evaluate by day-of-week, time window, date range, and priority, so overlaps resolve predictably:
Bring up screens, and run them without a truck roll
Each display registers with a unique 12-character hex device ID (e.g. A1B2C3D4E5F6) via a QR code — a new screen scans it, registers itself, and pulls its configuration automatically. No one walks the floor typing device IDs into a spreadsheet.
Video walls in software — and a billboard that sells
A traditional N×M video wall (say a 3×3 grid of nine ordinary TVs) usually needs a ~$10K hardware splitter. Aeion builds it in software: each display is assigned a matrix coordinate with a per-display bezel offset, scales its player surface up by the grid multiple, and translates to its own slice of the whole wall. Panels lock to a shared distributed clock — the primary display (row 0, column 0) broadcasts the playhead and every other panel snaps to the shared timestamp, holding sub-frame alignment across the bezel gaps with no master cabling.
FAQ
Yes. Live Data Bindings resolve `{{ commerce.* }}` (and CRM, Files, Events, Helpdesk, and other connected-module) paths directly onto slide elements, with per-binding refresh intervals and conditional styles (e.g. red text when a SKU drops below a threshold). The data is already in the same platform — there's no separate feed to build.
It compares dwell time and engagement between two variants with Welch's t-test. A winner is auto-selected only at p < 0.05 with a minimum of 30 samples per variant and a higher mean; otherwise the test keeps collecting data. There's no vanity "lift" figure — you get a p-value, a confidence score, and the significant/not-significant call.
We don't have aggregated customer ROI data to quote a number, and any figure would depend on your traffic, category, and creative. What we can promise is that the A/B testing gives you an honest, statistically grounded way to measure lift in your own stores rather than guessing.
No. Start from the retail and menu-board templates, generate a full campaign from a text prompt with the AI Design Engine, and enforce brand with a Master Slide. The AI uses your configured AI provider and falls back gracefully if it's unavailable — it produces a first draft to refine, not an untouchable final.
Yes. Matrix tiling builds an N×M wall in software — each panel renders its slice of a shared surface and locks to a distributed clock for sub-frame sync across bezels. You assign coordinates and a bezel offset per screen; no external splitter.
Yes — weather-triggered, occupancy-triggered, and time-triggered playlists are supported, and a demographic-trigger system can use optional camera analytics to adjust playlists in real time. That analytics is anonymous audience composition only — no facial recognition and no identity capture.
Playlists resolve with their content bundled, so displays keep playing on schedule through a brief outage. Any queued remote command delivers on the display's next heartbeat once it reconnects — nothing is silently lost.
