Information Display - Actually finding something useful for the Raspberry Pi to do at work !
As the article title states, We've implemented an information solution We have been wanting since taking over Quality Trophies, back in August 2016.
We now have a way of displaying upcoming Customer jobs, when there is office work to do - such as filing, stock take, recycling - or attending industry events, such as Nation Manufacturing Week or TroPro, both recently. No more whiteboards and trying to clean them off, all computer based !
It uses a Raspberry Pi model B as the computer - with only a USB Wireless LAN stick, HDMI Cable, MicroSD card and USB power pack with a short & firm USB lead. The Pi connects to an old TV via HDMI, with the TV on it's left side and the base removed.
Using the MagicMirror framework, We can display local news and weather, system metrics, comments and facts about the business for the customers that visit, as well as displaying the upcoming jobs and other events - which was the main idea behind this whole project.
Using Google Calendar, We are able to update the board with smartphones or computers easily - the board is updated regularly so that We don't forget about upcoming orders that need to be shipped, for instance.
There are other modules that We will be implementing soon, but We have a sufficiently workable set now and will leave it for testing to check it's a viable solution for the future.
We are looking forward to seeing the customer's reactions and interactions with the system in the future.
Quality Trophies is doing something about the Environment by Getting Greener !
We are making a more complete installation of the solar panels, with a suitable smart meter being installed this morning.
This will mean that all power will be switched off, until the work is completed.
All calls, from both phone numbers, are being diverted - We won't miss your phone calls this morning, but We will be unable to send or receive any emails/invoices/quotes, until the power is restored, by noon as We were told.
The benefit of this work being completed today is that We will be getting a proper electricity bill, with the generated power being taken into consideration.
We will still be able to provide great customer service with the solar power assistance - just that it will be nicer overall for the environment as well.
We Have Moved !
We have completed the move to Richmond.
Our New Address is :
6 Grose Street, Richmond NSW 2753 (Click on the address for a googlemap to the new location.)
We have two phone numbers available, (02) 4589-3263 and (02) 9621-2474. The fax line was not being used at all, therefore it was cancelled and not moved with the existing phone numbers.
We are open for business during the normal hours, with some potential for Saturday pickups, which We could not offer before.
All email addresses are the same, with This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. being the main address to contact Us on.
The showroom is taking shape, orders are arriving from suppliers and going out to customers - It's been a mostly painless transition to Richmond.
For NEW customers for the next 3 months - there is a 10% discount on the first order.
For Existing customers, that were local to the Blacktown / Kings Park location that We moved from - there is free shipping on the first box in orders for the next 12 months.
Looking forward to working with New and Existing customers at the new location.
Come and see Us soon !
