MT.Vision - Digital Screens & Signage

Lochting has the ambition to be an open platform towards all software houses, but also towards the other builders of digital screens. It is fair to say that integration will happen first with Meditech and the software houses, then with the other screen builders.

Your presentations are automatically linked to the product database through the platform. The selected products receive automatic daily updates. You no longer need to manually adjust the price or change the image when there is a new package. Also if the product is out of stock, this is automatically processed in your presentations.

Via the Lochting platform you can add media (images and videos) which you can then incorporate into the presentations. We distinguish product walls and custom pages. In a presentation you can alternate product walls with custom pages, videos and images.

You can create a product setup via Presentations > Product walls > Create. You can create a product wall in three steps.

• Step 1: enter the name, choose the language of the products and the orientation of the product wall. It is then possible to add the corresponding tags here.
• Step 2: select the products that you want to add to the product wall.
• Step 3: create your product wall with the selected products:
  • Create shelf in rack: Click in the rack to add a shelf. You can drag it up or down, placing all shelves in the desired position.
  • Place product in rack: You place a product in the rack by dragging it to it and releasing it on the shelf. This product is automatically repeated over the entire shelf. You can change the number of products displayed by dragging the selection frame around the products. In addition, you can also control the number of displayed products in “Settings”.
  • Settings: Through “Settings” you can adjust the general settings of the entire product setup. You can change the settings of one of the products via the settings icon above the product.
  • Preview: To preview the product setup, click the “Preview” button. This will hide all the settings fields. You can also use the “Start live preview” button to select a TV screen within your company. The product setup will then be played as an example.

When you create presentations, you can only use products that you have selected under Products > Sales channel TV screens. Therefore, you cannot automatically create product walls or custom pages with all the public products. Change the current selection by clicking on the button “Edit MT.vision selection (TV screens)”. Here you can choose which categories you want to show. Under “Refine” you will find further subcategories. It is also possible to select which products you want to add to your own selection via “Manufacturers”.

You can change the settings of one of the blocks via the settings icon above the block.
• Step 3: To preview the custom page, click the “Preview” button. This will hide all the setting fields. In addition, you can select a TV screen within your company with the button “Start live preview”. The TV screen page will then be played as an example.

A default slideshow / fallback slideshow (priority: 99) is played as soon as there is no presentation assigned to the screen in the time plan for a certain period of time with a higher priority level.
