Digital Signage
automated screen communication
The Problem
Internal communication on digital signage screens is manual: someone has to create content, format it, schedule it, and update it. The result: outdated notices, irrelevant content, or blank screens.
The Vault Solution
contboxx Vault processes your corporate knowledge and automatically delivers screen-optimized content as HTML5 content to your digital signage displays. New policies, training notes, KPIs, or company news — prepared, formatted, and current, without manual effort.
Your Benefits
- Automatic document preparation for screen formats
- HTML5 standard — compatible with all major digital signage systems
- Location- and department-specific content
- Real-time updates for new or changed documents
- AI-generated short summaries (240 characters) for quick comprehension
- Multilingual: displays in the language of each location
Example
A new safety policy is updated in the document system. Vault detects the change, generates a screen-optimized summary, and plays it on all production hall displays within minutes — in German and English.
Practical Scenarios: From Source to Screen
Four concrete examples of how contboxx Vault autonomously transforms data from your systems into informative digital signage screens through fact extraction, knowledge graphs, and AI-generated content.
Microsoft Teams → Digital Signage
Source: Teams Chats & Meetings · Channel: Digital Signage Displays
The production team uses a dedicated Teams channel for shift handovers and meetings. Vault connects to this channel and automatically extracts key information:
- Meeting summaries: "Line 3 maintenance completed, restart at 2:00 PM. New safety regulation for area B effective tomorrow."
- Decisions: Vault detects decision patterns in chat and highlights them — e.g., "Resolution: supplier change for component X from week 14."
- Action Items: Open tasks are displayed as a ticker on the hall screen — including the person responsible and deadline.
Result: The production hall displays automatically show the key outcomes of the morning meeting. Shift-relevant information is immediately visible — without anyone manually creating content.
Slack → Digital Signage
Source: Slack Channels · Channel: Digital Signage Displays
The engineering team communicates via Slack. Vault monitors selected channels and distills the most relevant information for office displays:
- Project highlights: Feature launches and milestones are extracted from #product-releases: "v3.2 successfully deployed — 15% faster load times."
- Team achievements: Positive customer feedback from #customer-success or team praise from #general becomes motivating screen content.
- Announcements: High-reach messages (many reactions/threads) are prioritized on the lobby screen.
Result: The entrance area screen shows a curated "Company Pulse" view: current releases, team achievements, and important announcements — all automatically distilled from Slack, without a community manager intervening.
SharePoint → Digital Signage
Source: SharePoint Folder · Channel: Digital Signage Displays
Product development stores specifications, roadmaps, and status reports in a SharePoint folder. Vault continuously monitors this folder:
- New documents: Vault detects a new product specification PDF, extracts the key facts, and displays: "New feature 'Smart Alert' — specification finalized, development starts week 12."
- Change tracking: When existing documents are updated, Vault compares versions and shows the key changes: "Q2 roadmap updated: launch date for Feature X moved to April 15."
- Milestone ticker: Vault builds a knowledge graph of product milestones and generates a visual progress bar: "Product Alpha: 4 of 6 milestones reached."
Result: The development office screen shows an automatically updated "Product Development Dashboard" — new specifications, roadmap changes, and milestone progress. Every developer sees the current status at a glance without opening SharePoint.
Salesforce → Digital Signage
Source: Salesforce CRM · Channel: Digital Signage Displays
The sales team works daily in Salesforce. Vault taps into CRM data and transforms it into motivating, informative screen content for the sales office and company lobby:
- Deal updates: "New enterprise customer won: Müller AG — annual contract worth €120,000. Congratulations to Team North!" appears automatically on the sales screen.
- Pipeline overview: Vault aggregates pipeline data and generates a screen-optimized graphic: "Q1 pipeline: €2.4M · 68% target achievement · 12 deals in negotiation."
- Customer highlights: New customer reviews or NPS scores are displayed as a "Customer Voice" tile on the lobby display — ideal for visitor reception.
Result: The sales team sees real-time achievements and pipeline progress on the office screen. In the lobby, a "Customer Success" display greets visitors with current references and customer testimonials — fully automatically generated from Salesforce.
