Media tech­no­logy in the museum

Mana­ging the entire museum with NeuroomNet

Ever­yday museum life can involve many challenges:

  1. Technical failures for which external specia­lists have to be called in?
  2. Rising energy prices that make the use of media tech­no­logy too expen­sive and thus make the museum unat­trac­tive?
  3. Falling visitor numbers because there is a lack of target group-specific appeal?

NeuroomNet offers solu­tions for various problems of ever­yday museum life. From the opera­tion of digital exhi­bits to the complete control of the building tech­no­logy, you can not only save valuable time for your staff with this soft­ware but also reduce energy costs and imple­ment exhi­bi­tion concepts with a unique selling point that can be tail­ored to a wide variety of target groups.

Problem & Solu­tion

Easily iden­tify and fix technical failures yourself

Nowa­days, a wide range of media tech­no­logy can be found in a modern museum. Visitor guidance systems, audio and video stations, lighting tech­no­logy, … etc.

Mana­ging these and repai­ring failures quickly and consis­t­ently is a perma­nent task that can cost a lot of time and know-how. Outdated content or even black moni­tors, because no one under­stands how content can be uploaded or defects are not detected, must not be! If the stations are not checked regu­larly, there is a risk that they will malfunc­tion or even fail comple­tely, which in turn can lead to dissa­tis­fied visi­tors.

Easily iden­tify and fix technical failures yourself

A cost-effec­tive and easy-to-use option is to centra­lize all this tech­no­logy via NeuroomNet. You don’t need staff with programming skills to operate the NeuroomNet soft­ware, as the monitoring inter­faces provide a simpli­fied over­view of all your tech­no­logy. This gives staff the ability to quickly see at a glance where errors are occur­ring and how to fix them.

NeuroomNet offers the right balance between auto­ma­tion and manual setting options to cover all the func­tions you need for your ever­yday museum work.

Problem & Solu­tion

Save energy and costs

The opera­tion of individual stations (e.g. through manual switching on and off of many stations by staff) causes labour costs and ther­e­fore equip­ment runs conti­nuously. This results in high energy costs and you are conside­ring redu­cing media tech­no­logy, which, however, can consider­ably reduce the attrac­ti­ve­ness of the museum to visi­tors.

Save energy and costs

With a management system like NeuroomNet, you can auto­mate turning all devices on and off to reduce run times and power consump­tion!
Even devices from diffe­rent manu­fac­tu­rers are all managed centrally and can be set via speci­fied times in the calendar func­tion. For example, exceptions can also be set up on public holi­days.
The service life of your devices is extended because switching sequences can be auto­mated and the fuse is not simply swit­ched off hard. These sequences miti­gate dama­ging wear and tear on your equip­ment and mini­mize hard­ware and soft­ware defects, such as with projec­tors whose illu­mi­nants require cooling time.

Become more attrac­tive for visi­tors as a museum

Become more attrac­tive for visi­tors as a museum

An individually tail­ored presen­ta­tion for visi­tors is easier than before thanks to RFID tech­no­logy and nume­rous possi­bi­li­ties for indi­vi­dua­liza­tion.
Visi­tors receive trans­pon­ders in their admis­sion tickets with which they can be iden­ti­fied at the individual information stations (without personal data and of course volun­t­a­rily). The facts and the know­ledge to be conveyed in the exhi­bits can be tail­ored to the respec­tive visitor, i. H. they receive information that corre­sponds to their level of know­ledge. Exhi­bits can then display tail­ored content.
For example, you can set which language, level of know­ledge, … is displayed.
The record will be deleted after the issu­ance has been completed and the ticket has been returned. The trans­ponder can then be used again for the next person.
Another advan­tage of the RFID tech­no­logy is that you also have the option of reading out statis­tics, which you can use to iden­tify, for example, which exhi­bits are parti­cu­larly popular. With this data, you can learn from the results of past exhi­bi­tions when plan­ning future exhi­bi­tions and making success-oriented decis­ions.

Expe­ri­ence

Our team has been working with museums and science centers for over 20 years.
NeuroomNet is the latest result of all this expe­ri­ence concer­ning the demands placed on exhi­bi­tions, museums, and science centers. With NeuroomNet, they rely on tech­no­logy that has been deve­loped speci­fi­cally for these needs and meets modern stan­dards.
Not convinced yet? Feel free to ask our custo­mers.

These museums already use NeuroomNet:

  • Expe­ri­menta (science center in Heil­bronn)
  • PS.Speicher (oldtimer-museum in Einbeck)
  • Rubina Regens­burg (energy educa­tion center in Regens­burg)
  • Tech­no­polis Mechelen (tech­no­logy educa­tion center in Mechelen)

Further services

NeuroomNet’s services also include:
  • People coun­ting (control of visitor flows and impro­ve­ment of secu­rity)
  • Secure encryp­tion of your system
  • Individual access rights using rights management
  • Digital signage (display of content on any number of displays)
  • Content can be individually adapted to external circum­s­tances such as calendar events, light and weather condi­tions, and other requi­re­ments
  • Expan­da­bility of the system, which also offers inter­faces for newer tech­no­lo­gies
and many more!
