Client Background

The Gretsch-Unitas Group, comprising GU, Ferco, and ela-soft brands, is an internationally active group of companies specializing in unlocking, moving, locking, and securing solutions across various environments. Their products enjoy an excellent reputation in global markets. In November 2021, they unveiled a 1000m² showroom in Velbert, North Rhine-Westphalia, under the theme “BKS Networked Worlds,” showcasing comprehensive solutions, including AG Neovo’s wide range of professional monitors.

Challenge or Problem

The challenge was to create an engaging showroom that effectively demonstrated the wide array of security solutions offered by the Gretsch-Unitas Group, incorporating AG Neovo’s monitor technology seamlessly. With the shift away from traditional exhibitions and in-person demonstrations, the need for an innovative and immersive showcase was paramount.

Solution

AG Neovo, known for its broad product portfolio of professional monitors, became an integral part of the “BKS Networked Worlds” showroom. Their reliability, professionalism, and high-quality products perfectly complemented the Gretsch-Unitas Group’s commitment to providing outstanding complete solutions.

Execution Process

Visitors to the showroom are welcomed into the BKS Coffee Lounge, featuring the QM-55 4K/UHD signage display, where they can enjoy a coffee before embarking on a tour. The showroom boasts solutions for single and multi-family homes, powered by intuitive and interactive touch displays from AG Neovo’s TX series, ranging from 10″ to 43″. These displays, known for their scratch resistance and front-side IP65 rating, are ideal for these applications.

The centerpiece of the showroom is a video wall consisting of 4 PN-55D monitors, a connected control station, 4 QX-28 monitors, and a Meetboard™ IFP-7502. This setup showcases the GEMOS system, developed by ela-soft, a Gretsch-Unitas Group brand, with an integrated video management system. The almost frameless 24/7 monitors from AG Neovo’s PN-Series can accommodate presentations for approximately 70 viewers. For smaller groups, the 75″ 4K/UHD Meetboard™ with its versatile functions and apps for drawing, presenting, mobile data exchange, and interactive group work is the preferred choice. The attached operator station features QX-Series 24/7-NeoV™ glass displays in 4K/UHD, delivering brilliant images in continuous operation.
