invidis content partner Sixteen:Nine complements our coverage with news from the North American digital signage market. This week’s highlights on the blog: Chick-Fil-A opened a bold new drive-thru-only store that skips almost all displays, Istanbul Airport upgrades 3,357 screens after just 6 years, and Screenfeed launches a no-code app that syncs calendars to displays.
While we published a story this week on Whataburger’s Digital Kitchen concept, Sixteen:Nine covered a new drive-thru-only concept that Chick-Fil-A is now testing. What’s notable in the newly opened pilot store is the total absence of outdoor signage: no promo displays or digital menu boards.
As one of the largest airports in the world, Istanbul Airport boasts a staggering amount of 3,357 flight information displays. These are now being upgraded six years after their installation. With that, they’ve only made it to a third of the lifetime of Munich Airport screens that are still running at the ripe age of 17.
Digital signage content provider Screenfeed has launched a new app that enables its users to reflect meetings and events calendars on screens around a venue. This app follows a no-code approach to sync with other calendars and display selected elements on a screen.
