With 30 branch locations, the Mid-Continent Public Library in Independence, Missouri needs an effective and efficient way to promote numerous events in the Clay, Platte and jackson counties.  FireSign is helping to connect a number of these branches with automated updates pulled from an exisitng MCPL event database.

At this historic Civil War site, FireSign powers two touch-screen kiosks showcasing Fort Negley and the Nashville area. With maps, photos and blueprints, these interactive exhibits bring the rocky remains of Fort Negley to life. Although the new visitor center is relatively small, Anode’s interactive design and FireSign software are creating maximum impact.

FireSign 3.2 is a compact release, sporting two new features and several bug fixes. There may only be two new features, but they are big ones, and more importantly, they address two of our most frequent customer requests!  We are confident these enhancements to FireSign 3.2 will continue our commitment to making FireSign the best digital signage software available.

New Feature: Automatic Software Updates for Players
No more walking (or driving) around to visit every FireSign Player to perform software updates! This is the last time you will need to manually update Player software. After you have installed the FireSign 3.2 Update and updated the software on your Players, all future Player software updates will happen automatically. You can set the day and time that you want Players to look for software updates in the Player Detail screen in FireSign Studio.

New Feature: Serial Device Control for Player Displays
Most industrial displays have the ability to be controlled over a serial port. Now FireSign 3.2 Players are able to communicate over the serial port with their attached display monitor. This feature can be used to turn FireSign Player monitors on or off at specific times. You can even tell a monitor to switch video inputs, assuming the monitor itself has that capability. All of these operations are set using the standard scheduling functions in FireSign Studio. Note: Every monitor is different. Some may have serial control capability while others may not. Custom serial cables are required. Please contact us to discuss your situation to see how you can take advantage of this new feature.

Getting the FireSign 3.2 Update
FireSign stand-alone customers with current update subscriptions will receive this update via an enclosed CD-ROM. If we are hosting your FireSign system, you will receive this update automatically. We will contact you with any necessary additional information. At FireSign, we continuously strive to improve our software and offer new features that communicate your message while minimizing the time impact on your staff. If you’re a current Update Subscriber, then enjoy the new features that come with your Update Subscription.

But if you haven’t signed up for an Update Subscription, or have let your subscription lapse, seriously consider investing in a subscription soon. You’ve made a substantial investment integrating a digital signage system into your business, so maintain your software with the latest updates and upgrades the same way you would maintain any piece of machinery or capital investment.

Beginning today, and just in time for the deluge of spring break travelers, passengers at Nashville International Airport (BNA) will be provided with yet another element of premier customer service.

In the interest of facilitating passengers swiftly through security checkpoints in a safe, convenient and timely manner, the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA) has chosen Nashville based FireSign Inc., to provide digital signage software that powers BNA’s new security-related digital signs. The quartet of digital signage displays, with two located at the entrance of both the “A/B” and “C/D” security checkpoints, are designed to inform passengers with up-to-the-minute Transportation Security Administration (TSA) messaging regarding permitted items, and other security information. The system will give MNAA the rapid capability to run important and informational messaging on one specific, or all digital signage displays on the FireSign network. Advanced message scheduling is also an invaluable feature, enabling MNAA to plan messaging around known traffic peaks.

“We’ve been installing FireSign systems in public spaces to help move people through facilities for several years. Our software is installed at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts here in Nashville as well as at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia,” noted Chris Lee, president of FireSign. “Helping alleviate issues related to congestion in lines is a natural fit for our product. With BNA’s terminal renovation in full swing, it’s an exciting time for the airport, and we’re proud to be part of it.”

“We are pleased to be able to bring pertinent and security related just-in-time messaging to Music City’s airport,” said Raul Regalado, President & CEO of the MNAA. FireSign technology is yet another dynamic avenue in which we can communicate our brand, reflecting customer focus and professionalism, to our most important assets, our customers and employees.
