On August 28, the ePIC 2024, the second ePaper Innovation Conference, will be held in Shenzhen. To complement the annual highlight of the ePIC, the ePaper Industry Alliance (EPIA) and Quadrant Lab will launch a series of innovative product stories in both Chinese and English version, as a review of last year's ePaper innovations. This initiative is expected to further promote the development of ePaper technology application, injecting sustained momentum into the emerging display and IoT innovation fields.

Traditional electronic nameplates, especially those using LED/LCD displays, face multiple challenges:

Limited in placement because of the messy wiring; 

Harsh on the eyes under strong light;

Energy-guzzling; 

Frequent charge;

GIBIT found that there is a lack of a meeting system unit that integrates functions such as check-in management, ePaper table card, meeting discussions, meeting services, simultaneous interpretation, voting, and camera tracking.

As wireless, charge-free, and paperless meetings become growingly popular,  the ePaper table card is gradually replacing traditional paper signs and LED/LCD electronic nameplates, reducing paper waste and allowing for quick synchronization of information. In designing the ePaper table card, the GIBIT team has conducted extensive market research and observed that in addition to the speaking unit, there are also many table cards, tissues, tea, etc., that must be put on the table, making the table crowded. To solve this problem, the team conducted studies to learn the advantages and disadvantages of T-shaped and V-shaped ePaper table card now available on the market. The team comprehensively considered users' habits, and finally, they developed a product that combines a table card with a meeting speaking unit, which performs with better stability and, a larger display area. Besides, it is also more in line with participants in terms of their viewing habits. The team also focuses on some other aspects:

Technological Innovation and Integration: Real-time updates, personalized settings, and flexible interaction are ensured by developing and integrating digital display, wireless communication, and intelligent management technologies. The product is fixed in structure by magnetic adsorption, combining the ePaper table card with the meeting unit, making management and maintenance more convenient.

Eco-Friendly and Energy-Saving: The GIBIT design places a premium on environmental conservation and energy efficiency. By utilizing electronic display technology and smart energy-saving controls, the new smart ePaper table card completely eliminates the waste of paper, aligning well with society's eco-friendly and energy-saving philosophy.

User Experience Enhancement: The product's functionality and interactive experience are continuously refined through user testing and feedback collection. For instance, the ongoing improvement of the system management features allows administrators to easily input and modify information, providing a more convenient and precise communication and interactive experience.

Participant Information Management: The GIBIT ePaper table card can be connected to the meeting management system via wireless or wired communication, enabling real-time updates and remote management of participant information. Meeting organizers can effortlessly update participant information in the digital meeting system's backend, saving the need for manual replacement of signs, and greatly enhancing the efficiency and timeliness of meeting management.

Now, the GIBIT ePaper table card meeting unit is broadly applied to various conferences and events, receiving positive feedback from organizers and participants. The new product not only addresses issues of traditional meeting units but also achieves breakthroughs in user experience and information management, based on the following innovative features:

Dual-Screen Display & Magnetic Design: The meeting table card unit features a front and back dual-screen design, offering a new interactive experience. The front screen is a 7-inch capacitive touch color screen that supports functions such as check-in, voting, elections, and scoring, with data results displayed in real time on the meeting unit. It can also send meeting service requests, such as tea service, stationery service, and calling waitstaff. The rear ePaper display is 7.5-inch with a magnetic attachment design, offering an almost 180-degree viewing angle and high-definition display of participant information.

Color Display & Free Layout: The product supports tri-color and seven-color display, allowing users to customize layouts and display QR codes, barcodes, images, and other multi-color content.

Batch Updates & Real-Time Operations: Through the digital meeting system's backend software, web interface, mobile app, and WeChat mini-program, users can easily and quickly batch update the information on the card, achieving efficient information management.

Innovative Design & Classic Styling: The product features a high-end full aluminum alloy exterior with a magnetic design, presenting a novel and unique style, and has been awarded a design patent(CN308637517S).

Through market research and technological innovation, the GIBIT R&D team has fully integrated cutting-edge technology and successfully created a multifunctional ePaper meeting system that meets the needs of modern conferences. This product has achieved breakthrough innovations in environmental protection, energy saving, user experience, and information management, and will no doubt inject new smart momentum into meeting management.
