Case Study: Daimler Trucks North America achieves a high-tech, connected headquarters with Planar Systems’ integrated digital signage and video wall solutions

Daimler Trucks North America - Customer Case Study

Daimler Trucks North America opened a new 268,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Portland and needed a technology platform to consolidate dispersed departments, improve wayfinding, showcase company history and products, and deliver consistent digital branding and employee communications. To meet those needs they selected Planar Systems, deploying Planar’s Clarity Matrix LCD Video Wall, Planar PS Series touch displays and Planar Helium Series touch monitors alongside Four Winds Interactive visual communications software.

Planar Systems installed a large L-shaped 59-display Clarity Matrix lobby video wall, a 6x3 (18‑display) elevator wall, a 24" Helium directory, 55" PS Series kiosks on each of the eight upper floors and a 55" PS display in the cafeteria, all with optically bonded ERO glass, EasyAxis mounting and off-board electronics for reduced heat/noise and easier maintenance. The solution improved navigation, employee engagement and corporate storytelling through high‑definition timelines, real‑time menus, traffic/weather feeds and social media, while delivering measurable installation benefits (59‑display lobby, 18‑display elevator, eight interactive kiosks) and a nearly seamless 3.7mm bezel canvas that simplified serviceability and enhanced the visitor experience.
