Elliott have been in business for over 100 years and are the go to company for the design, manufacture and service of their critical turbomachinery. Elliott is wholly owned by Ebara Corporation headquartered in Haneda, Japan and have manufacturing facilities worldwide, with their primary locations being Jeannette, Pennsylvania, USA and in Sodegaura, Chiba, Japan. Elliott maintain a global network of service facilities with field service engineers and technicians in locations such as UK, Switzerland, Italy, UAE and Bahrain.
Elliott Turbomachinery UK wanted to enhance their existing Digital Signage installation at their offices in Reading, by placing two screens in the main reception area to deliver core information to visitors and staff alike.
The core requirements for the digital signage project were:
- ability to update screens from a central location
- have different content on each screen
- display health & safety data in a graphical format in real time
- provide staff with different levels of access to certain zones of information to update content on a regular basis without the ability to alter the core signage design
- scaleable to allow for expansion to other locations
Eclipse Digital installed a ONELAN publisher, rack mounted in the network / comms room together with a ONELAN subscriber to drive one 55″ Full HD LED Samsung Display. The existing ONELAN media player driving another 55″ Full HD LED Samsung Display was configured to subscriber status to poll content from the new Publisher.
Two channels of content were designed and developed, one to show welcome messaging and corporate information and the other to deliver the health and safety graphical data and daily updates. Within each channel Eclipse configured specific zones with ‘ad hoc’ user access whereby certain users can log in to update just that zone of content, without altering the core layout.
Eclipse Digital have provided Elliott with ONELAN Data Collection Engine (DCE) software so they have the facility to pull in data from either Excel, XML or SQL to display graphically, in real time.

Arancini Brothers is a chain of Restaurants in London that serves a variety of delicious risotto ball dishes. Arancini Brothers started out with a tiny market stall in Brick Lane then spread further afield to festivals, market stalls and private catering before opening their first store in Kentish Town. Now with locations including Old Street and Dalston in London, Arancini Brothers continues to grow with it’s unique and tasty menu.
Arancini Brothers were looking to improve their brand image and bring their stores in line with the owners’ modern mentality:
“We had always used traditional chalk boards or printed menu in our other stores. When we signed our new lease on Old Street we wanted a more modern and tech feel to the shop and digital menu boards were the obvious choice” – Dave Arkin, Director.
They specified that the digital menu boards must be easy to use and update content. They also wanted a reliable product that was suitable for commercial restaurant use.
Eclipse Digital Media provided a reliable digital menu board solution consisting of 3 x 32″ Samsung Smart Signage Platform (SSSP) displays and embed signage digital signage software licenses. This package provides Arancini Brothers with an all in one digital signage solution with the commercial grade displays having built in media players – the only thing required is connection to the internet and registration to their embed signage account. From there, Arancini Brothers now login, make any menu changes and publish content directly to the screens, almost instantly.
Not only did Eclipse Digital Media provide Arancini Brothers with the digital menu board solution, they also composed the layouts and created some bespoke animated content to use on the screens. Using the animated content was a perfect way to draw attention to the key areas of the menu.
