Background
Display solutions are at the center of the intersection between automated data and control, and the resulting personalized microenvironment an individual seeks to control – from lighting and temperature to security and entertainment.
Smart buildings incorporate Building Automation Systems (BAS): technologies which are used to automate a building’s physical environment to control conditions for energy conservation, safety and security, work productivity, as well as customized micro-environment experience for the occupants. A significant consideration when it comes to BAS is the Internet of Things (IoT), that helps connect a variety of devices and sensors to the internet, collecting data which then help deliver improved efficiency for owners and occupants of buildings.
As the name of the display module suggests – 4Discovery – it invites building occupants to discover the choices they have in regulating the micro-environment, whether it is a hotel room, office space, a residence or even retrofitted commercial spaces.
The Workshop4 IDE Software is a comprehensive, integrated software development platform that caters to the entire family of processors and modules, including the 4Discovery modules.
Artificial Intelligence Driven, Human Choices at the Centre
Dubai International Airport partnered with Siemens and other partners to adopt and implement BAS in the airport’s structure, operations, management, and control.
Sinclair Hotel’s management employed BAS, using IoT as a gateway to incorporate software components to automate and adjust lighting and temperature settings, improve energy efficiency, provide a variety of internal and external communication capabilities and send push notifications to guests in their rooms when needed with the goal to offer guests the best experience the moment they enter through the door.

Choosing the HMI (Human-Machine Interface) components that your users interact with is a key part of the product development process. But deciding how to produce your intelligent display, which display to buy, to what degree you customize it – and even considering building one from scratch – can be a tough commercial choice. In this whitepaper we provide a comprehensive overview of key commercial factors to consider when evaluating these options.
Touchscreens, accelerated by health concerns like COVID-19, have replaced traditional controls, merging functionality with practicality. 4D Systems leads this transition with aesthetically pleasing display modules enhancing user experience. Partnering with Henlo & Co, a South African premium espresso machine maker, 4D Systems integrated their gen4 modules, improving brewing through data analytics, consistent execution, and precise ingredient measurement. This collaboration showcases the display solutions' potential in elevating operational efficiency and user-centricity in modern appliances.
Intelligent display solutions are the crucial link between automated data and personalised micro-environments.
