Uniguest, a global leader in digital engagement technology, announced the release of Onelan 24.2, the latest software update for its popular digital signage software CMS. This update brings significant enhancements, including the addition of Node.js support for BrightSign devices and the introduction of a powerful new API for streamlined content scheduling via third-party applications.
Node.js is an industry-standard technology that allows developers to build rich, interactive, and dynamic web applications. This new capability allows Node.js applications to be uploaded to the CMS; these are then downloaded, installed, and run locally on the BrightSign player. This addition enables Onelan customers who utilise BrightSign devices to create sophisticated HTML content that creates more engaging and interactive customer experiences. This enhancement will enable a variety of applications such as product selection kiosks or on-demand information displays, where customers are able to manually input their requirements, and the application provides suitable products and information.
This update also introduces a new API for automating content management and playlist scheduling from third-party applications, enabling customers to leverage their existing schedule management tools to deploy content automatically across their Onelan signage network.
Uniguest’s Chief Technical Officer, Jeff Stonebrook commented, “Onelan has always had a strong interactive digital signage offering. By adding Node.js support we have opened the door for our customers to take advantage of more advanced technology that will, in turn, help them deliver even more engaging content to further enhance their customer journey.”
