72 million, that is the astounding number of items that Deutsche Post, Germany’s provider of postal services, delivers each day, six days a week. Since 2003, the strategy and activities of Deutsche Post DHL have been managed at the Post Tower in Bonn, an impressive 40-storey building of steel and glass. To upgrade the security for the Tower and the adjacent campus, Deutsche Post recently set up a brand-new control room. As for the video wall, it was a world-first: Barco installed its very first LED-lit, rear-projection video wall. It soon proved to be the eco-friendly, easily maintainable wall Deutsche Post DHL was looking for.
Once the project was finished, Rainer Henss, Vice-President Corporate Security Service Branch commented: “The operators praise the brightness of the wall and the flexibility to change its layout, while it meets our expectations as to eco-friendliness, maintainability, 24/7 reliability and operator comfort. Furthermore, Barco lent great support, before, during and after the installation. As this project was a first for Barco, it was a real challenge for them as well as for us. We were prepared to take the risk and it was worth it.”
