Digital door signs

Modern solutions for efficient room labelling

Digital door signs summarised:

Digital door signs are electronic displays that show information such as names, room occupancy or appointments. They are flexible, sustainable and can be integrated into existing calendar or booking systems. Ideal for offices, conference rooms or hotels, they offer a modern solution for efficient room labelling.

What is digital door signage?

Digital door signs replace conventional, static signage with electronic displays. They can display and customise information such as room names, appointments or visitor information in real time. Display technologies such as LCD, LED or E-Ink are frequently used. Above all E-Inkscreens are popular because they are extremely energy efficient and mimic the pleasant, paper-like appearance of a printed sign.


Simple management and installation

The content of these signs can be centrally managed via a Management software control. Thanks to the connection to common calendar and booking systems (e.g. Microsoft Outlook), information is updated automatically - for example when a meeting starts or a room becomes free. The connection via WLAN or LAN makes installation uncomplicated; battery-operated models also allow flexible installation without cables.

Interactive functions

Modern digital door signs can be equipped with advanced features such as touchscreen operation, physical buttons or voice control. This allows meetings to be booked directly on the sign or information to be called up without the need for additional devices.

Advantages of electronic door signs

  • Wireless installationCan be used anywhere and offers maximum flexibility without the need for cable infrastructures.
  • Fast commissioningSimple and time-saving setup of the system.

  • Simple updating: Quick and uncomplicated changes.

They can be flexibly customised, avoid double bookings and create a modern, professional working environment. Companies benefit from greater efficiency and optimised organisation.

Digital door signs in the hotel and catering industry

Digital door signs increase guest satisfaction by displaying room numbers, personalised greetings and event details. Hotels can customise content flexibly, creating an inviting and professional ambience. The innovative technology optimises processes and increases service quality.

E-Paper Door signs in hospitals

E-paper door signs offer an efficient way of clearly labelling patient rooms and departments. Thanks to their energy-saving technology and centrally controlled updating, they are ideal for hospitals. With functions such as data protection and multilingual displays, they ensure better orientation and optimised processes.

Digital signage in educational institutions

Digital signage systems optimise schools and universities by dynamically displaying room allocations, course schedules and event details. These displays make it easier for students and teachers to find their way around, reduce planning effort and create a modern campus experience.

Electronic room signage for visitor guidance systems

Electronic room signage is a central component of modern visitor guidance systems. It shows precisely which rooms are occupied or which meetings are taking place. Thanks to data protection functions, sensitive information is handled discreetly. These innovative solutions improve visitor guidance and leave a professional impression.

Digital door signs for public institutions and authorities

Digital signage optimises visitor guidance in authorities and public institutions by clearly displaying room numbers, appointments and departments. Real-time updates reduce administrative effort and ensure clear communication. Barrier-free functions such as multilingualism and customisable font sizes improve the user experience.

What makes our digital door signs special

ePaper displays for modern door signage

Our digital door signs are based on innovative ePaper displays that mimic the look of traditional paper. Unlike conventional screens, which require constant power to display content, ePaper displays retain their information even without power. This makes them particularly energy-efficient and durable. They are perfectly legible, even in direct sunlight, and require minimal power consumption for updates.

Versatile sizes and colours

Door signs in various sizes from 2.6 to 12.2 inches are available for different areas of application. The displays can show content in black and white, and many models also support red as a third colour. Other colours such as yellow are also available on request. This enables customisation to corporate designs or specific requirements.

LED integration for additional information

Some of our digital door signs are equipped with LEDs that can flash in different colours and frequencies. This function can be used to emphasise important information such as room status or warning notices.

Interactive buttons for more functionality

Models with integrated buttons make it possible to make entries directly on the sign, for example to change the display or trigger actions. The inputs are processed by the central management software, making interaction simple and efficient.

Long battery life

Our door signs use conventional button cell batteries, which have a service life of up to 5 years depending on how the display is used. This significantly reduces maintenance costs and makes them particularly attractive for long-term use in offices, hotels or other facilities.

Advantages of wireless technology

The wireless technology enables easy installation and quick commissioning of our digital door signs. This feature offers a high degree of flexibility and the freedom to use the system wherever it is needed without having to rely on existing cable infrastructures. The wireless configuration means that the system can be easily set up at almost any location. This saves time and makes the process easier for everyone involved.

Barrier-free digital door signage

Do you need Braille for barrier-free access to your rooms? We also have a suitable solution for this: on request, we can combine digital door signs with tactile labelling so that your rooms are easy to find for all visitors.

Electronic displays that show information such as room occupancy and meetings and can be updated in real time.

Digital door signs can update information quickly and easily without the need for physical replacement. They can also be integrated into systems to enable automatic information updates.

Digital door signs connect via WLAN, LAN or a specially optimised wireless protocol with Calendar applications such as Microsoft Outlook or Google Calendar. Dates and room allocations are displayed automatically and in real time - manual updates are no longer necessary.

Key features:

  • Seamless integration:

    • Automatic synchronisation with common calendar systems ensures that data is always up-to-date.
    • Customisable display options enable the display of meeting topics, participants or status information.
  • Interference-free radio technology:

    • A proprietary protocol, which works in a similar way to WLAN, is specially optimised for low latency and low energy consumption - without disrupting the existing WLAN network.
    • Targeted utilisation of frequency ranges and time slots (TDMA method) effectively prevents transmission overlaps with other radio devices.
  • Reliability and efficiency:

    • Short, planned transmission windows optimise battery consumption so that the devices can last for several years on a single battery charge.
    • The proprietary protocol minimises packet loss and ensures stable updates, even in busy radio environments.

This technology combines simple integration, high reliability and energy-saving operation - ideal for modern, dynamic working environments.
