Remote Control
NanoLumens Inc., a designer and manufacturer of digital LED displays, recently announced their latest in a series of bright ideas. The organization partnered with Smart Monkeys, a leader in show control systems, to create NanoSuite, which is a remote monitoring platform. The award-winning NanoSuite allows users to control, monitor, and manage display systems. The product, which is supported by Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Safari, can work on-premises or remotely to monitor display performance, control and schedule displays, manage content, review performance, and troubleshoot.

Data Discourse
Do you ever wish your favorite online platforms would communicate with each other so that you can take tasks off your seemingly endless to-do list? ExhibitDay Inc., a provider of trade show planning and event project-management solutions, just announced the release of Rest API. This new product allows for automation between ExhibitDay and third-party software. It streamlines the event-planning process across software platforms, allowing users to create, update, and manage events from their own applications or from third-party applications. This new integration ultimately reduces the amount of manual data entry users have to engage in, reducing the possibility of introducing errors and increasing user efficiency. Smooth communication like that is, without a doubt, something worth talking about! Contact: ExhibitDay Inc., Bethesda, MD, 855-827-7570, www.exhibitday.com
Heavy Hitter
Crimson AV recently launched two mounting solutions that will enable exhibit marketers and booth designers to save money on their audiovisual display without sacrificing quality. The new A42M is an articulating mount that fits displays that range from 13 - 49 inches. It can hold up to 80 pounds and reaches 21 inches when fully extended. The P40M holds the same amount of weight as the A42M, but offers users the ability to pivot and tilt their displays. Most mounting solutions are made of extruded aluminum, but by constructing these mounts completely out of steel, Crimson AV can offer a cost savings of 30 percent when compared to similar products on the market. By using these cost-effective solutions, event pros can proudly put their budgeting acumen on display. Contact: Crimson AV, Northbrook, IL, 866-668-6888, www.crimsonav.com
