Requirements

The PepsiCo team in Mexico needed a centralized location from which they could manage the operations and control truck delivery of all products in the region. The requirement was a wide and flexible system that would display the entire territory of the country and provide an opportunity to monitor vehicles in real time.

To achieve this goal, the office in Mexico was equipped with a separate control room zone with a videowall and multiple operator workspaces. The existing system included Windows-based equipment and it was important that the software for content management is compatible with this type of hardware.

Another important project requirement was the necessity for the system to be mobile and portable. The solution needed to be powerful and comprehensive, but at the same time agile and light, so that the wall could be easily moved without substantial efforts.
