About the Client

Overview

Worthy Down is a UK Defence training facility focused on personnel administration across the Army, Navy, and RAF (Tri-Service). The campus accommodates around 1,000 students and includes multiple classrooms, lecture theatres, and shared facilities.

To support daily operations and improve communication, Akhter implemented a fully interactive, campus-wide audio-visual digital signage solution.

Requirement

The objective was to modernise communication across the campus by:

  • Replacing outdated and manual signage systems
  • Introducing a centralised, cloud-based digital signage platform
  • Improving the speed and ease of content updates
  • Providing better visibility of system performance and screen status

Solution

Akhter delivered a scalable, cloud-managed digital signage system using Clevertouch technology.

Digital signage infrastructure

  • 60 × Clevertouch CM Series commercial displays
  • Pico media players installed across the campus
  • Fully integrated with CleverLive cloud platform

This enables centralised control and content distribution across all screens.

Content management and flexibility

  • Cloud-based content updates from any location
  • Real-time system monitoring and screen health visibility
  • Ability to schedule content by time and date
  • Multi-zone display support for dynamic content layouts

Campus-wide applications

The new system is used across multiple areas, including:

  • Catering blocks for menu updates throughout the day
  • Welfare notices and charity event promotions
  • General announcements and campus communications
  • Wayfinding screens to assist navigation for visitors and staff

The solution replaced traditional posters and outdated signage systems with a modern, efficient digital platform.

Professional delivery

All systems were:

  • Fully project managed by Akhter Professional Services
  • Installed and configured for seamless operation
  • Designed to meet the specific needs of a Defence training environment

“We wanted to move away from the current digital signage system that was a laborious job of walking to each screen and uploading content from a USB stick, and we never knew if they were offline until we were in front of the screen. Clevertouch’s CleverLive system allows us to see the health of the screen online and update content quickly and easily from our desks. We log in every morning and check for issues.”

  • Centralised control: No need to manually update each screen
  • Real-time visibility: Monitor screen status remotely
  • Faster updates: Content can be changed instantly from a desk
  • Improved engagement: Dynamic and visually appealing content
