AUO Display Plus (ADP), a subsidiary of AUO Corporation, has successfully introduced it’s Smart P.O.D. (Place-on-Demand) Solution into the airport departure lounge to improve passenger experiences during their wait times. ADP’s Smart P.O.D. Solution has been introduced, for the first time, in Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 2 departure lounge, allowing business travelers to effectively utilize their pre-flight time for seizing business opportunities at any time.

With the lifting of border restrictions and the resumption of international business travel, the level of passenger traffic at Taoyuan Airport has increased by 21 times at the beginning of this year compared to the same period last year. Passengers' pre-flight waiting time needs to be used more efficiently. In collaboration with Omni Media, a subsidiary of CHOICE COMPANY, ADP installed two Smart P.O.D. Solutions in the Terminal 2 departure lounge, allowing business travelers to effectively use their pre-flight time for work or meetings. It has been in use for almost a month now, and the usage rate during the pre-flight waiting time has exceeded 90%.

Taoyuan International Airport state that they have been actively promoting software and hardware service upgrades to improve the experience for global passengers at the airport. They hoped that the ADP’s Smart P.O.D. Solution will provide a comfortable and convenient pre-flight waiting experience, making Taoyuan International Airport the first choice for global travelers.

ADP’s Smart P.O.D. Solution creates a dedicated, independent work and meeting space that can be used by hybrid working business travelers at any time, without being distracted by the bustling airport crowds and environment. Smart P.O.D. Solution is equipped with an environmental control system, excellent sound-proofing and privacy glass that automatically activates when in use. Travelers can simply scan the QR code on the door to access the user page, and follow the instructions to easily make a reservation.

In addition, the ADP’s Smart P.O.D. Solution helps Taoyuan International Airport to effectively utilize space and integrate marketing resources. By using digital signage on both sides, managers can schedule content such as travel or destination-related information for passengers through the cloud-based content management platform and broadcast at specific times of the day.

According to Jerry Lee, AVP of Public Display Integration Service Business Unit at AUO Display Plus, “AUO Display Plus’ Smart P.O.D. Solution is the first of its kind to be introduced at Taoyuan International Airport, helping the airport to provide more convenient software and hardware integration services that improve the work efficiency of international business travelers during their travels. ADP will also continue to cooperate with Taoyuan International Airport and create a richer passenger experience by integrating Omni Media’s comprehensive multimedia resources.”

In response to the trend towards hybrid working models, ADP expects to introduce more Smart Enterprise Solutions to help business people and corporations improve work efficiency in large transportation hubs such as airports, train stations, and transport hubs.
