Despite digital signage remaining a highly effective marketing and brand awareness tool in retail and Quick-Service Restaurant environments, the search for smarter, more efficient and streamlined solutions continues. In response to this demand, many businesses are switching to System-on-Chip (SoC) digital signage technology, which offers an all-in-one digital signage solution.

Traditionally, digital signage systems comprised of a display screen and a separate media player, however due to its compact design and capacity to consolidate various functions and components onto a single chip, System-on-Chip (SoC) digital signage technology is transforming the market. With a single chip embedded directly into a display screen’s monitor, SoC eliminates the need for additional hardware, resulting in slimmer, more streamlined displays that save space and provide a sleek, minimalistic aesthetic. By eliminating the need for multiple pieces of equipment, System-on-Chip (SoC) technology also proves to be more cost-effective by reducing expenses associated with manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance.

Kevin Bierman, Head of Digital Signage at Moving Tactics, South Africa’s leading digital signage solutions explains, “Technological advancements in commercial grade equipment maximises energy efficiency, offering extended product lifetimes, reliability, and consistent communication with customers. In addition, quality commercial grade screens that employ System-on-Chip (SOC) digital signage technology cost less in the long run as they are less likely to fail and automatically switch on after a power failure. This means that brands can rely on the fact that their marketing content is unaffected by power outages and guarantees effective operation and customer interaction 24/7. Through SoC technology, Moving Tactics has been able to provide our Quick-Service Restaurant (QSR) and retail clients, with a more streamlined and reliable solution”.

“With powerful processing capabilities, digital signage displays employing System-on-Chip (SoC) technology provide seamless, high-performance display functionality, ensuring smooth multimedia playback, enhanced graphics rendering, and improved overall performance. These displays are also easily scalable and can be integrated with other software and applications, making them flexible for diverse commercial applications, including retail, QSRs, corporate environments, hospitality, and more. “Moreover, this technology makes it possible to pair normal digital signage with value-added features such as scheduling and day parting, amongst others,” adds Bierman.

Additionally, System-on-Chip (SoC) displays come equipped with features that enable remote management. This capability enables centralized control, updates, and content management across multiple displays, providing businesses with an easy and efficient way to maintain and oversee their display network.

When employed in commercial displays, System on Chip (SoC) technology offers businesses a streamlined, cost-effective, energy-efficient, and reliable marketing solution.
