NoCode Tool: Bricks

Visualize live data in elegant ways. Everything is dynamic in BRICKS.

Owners of business often want to stand out from their competitors and give potential customers an interesting way to view their products or information, which is where setting up a kiosk or digital signage often comes in handy. For instance, they need to change the design or their overall approach to serve the customer better. Another issue is that they might ask the developer to call an API or backend server to receive data, perhaps a message in the code to go to a database. As a result, they will call an API or kiosk app to handle the peripheral device like a thermal printer, cash machine, or barcode scanner and the cost will be variable. Developers will also have to update or upgrade the device remotely and they must continue running the machine management system to check that the device is still online or in good condition. And to make sure their memory stays, or to remotely screenshot their phone. And lastly, they need to have one platform to upload photos or videos, such as advertising and educational media. They need to download all of these. Basically, with standard coding practices, a project could take up to 2 to 3 months, by four to five people, but by using Bricks, two people, one developer and one designer, can finish it in just two days. We can cut about 60% of the work, thus now saving time and resources.

HOW DOES BRICKS WORKS?

We can use this tool to remotely deploy the application and perform stitching. Using Bricks, we can present real-time data to the commercial end users, along with a station screen where digital signage designing takes place. You can do any size or any rotation of display units or any variety of signs and run a single application here. Moreover, we can get all sorts of DevOps solutions including process and management tools for the processes. 

It’s very easy to customize your design and change the look of the screen, just like using a PowerPoint. You can also use animations in between screen transitions. and you can check out different stitching configurations. You can track the screen position and even rotate a display.

Next, with Bricks, you can perform a real-time database integration and execute HTTP requests using GraphQL. There is no need to write code to use Firebase.

Depending on your design or desired outcome, you can stitch up to 60,000 screens with a single Bricks server. And the latency is just 23 milliseconds. And this is just a software, you don’t need any special equipment to get it to work.
