A digital signage and recognition display is a custom-fabricated visual solution that combines traditional physical honors—like plaques and wood laminates—with an interactive digital screen to tell a complete organizational story.
In our latest project for the Romeoville, IL Police Department, Arreya partnered with Award Emblem Mfg to transform a conceptual design into a high-impact, functional showpiece. This installation proves that digital signage doesn’t have to replace tradition; it can elevate it. By merging digital signage screens with meticulously matched wood laminates and custom-engineered hardware, we created a display that respects the department’s history while providing the software tools needed for the future.
Engineering Art: From Concept to Installation
Our full-service approach ensures that a conceptual design is refined and engineered for durability, utilizing high-quality materials and precision fabrication to guarantee the display stands the test of time.
The Romeoville project began with an approved concept from Award Emblem. Arreya’s designers refined these plans, focusing on innovative engineering to ensure the display would make sense in the department’s specific space. We took great care to match the wood laminate to the existing signage within the building, ensuring a seamless brand consistency across the facility.
Unique Hardware Features:
- Cable-Hanging Panels: A modern, clean way to display static honors that complements the department’s aesthetic.
- Annual Update Plaques: Engineered specifically so Award Emblem can provide easy annual updates for retiree names and awards.
- Portrait Touchscreen: A 24” Lenovo InStore touchscreen mounted in a portrait configuration to maximize vertical space and visual impact.
Interactive Storytelling with Arreya Software
The integrated digital sign allows staff to create, publish, and schedule dynamic content from the cloud to the display instantly, with no IT lift required.
Powering the display is a Lenovo Chrome Micro running Arreya’s enterprise-grade CMS. This tool empowers the department’s digital content manager to update content in real-time without needing physical replacements for every change.
What the Staff Can Manage:
- Employee Recognition: Easily generate images and videos highlighting “Officer of the Year” or new retirees.
- Department Schedules: Schedule content such as training dates or community events up to the minute.
- Visual Storytelling: Share the department’s mission and values through an interactive experience that encourages visitors to linger and engage.
Key Takeaway: By using cloud-based digital signage, the Romeoville Police Department has a “living” display that is as easy to update as a website, ensuring information never becomes outdated.
