eInfochips is primarily known in the semiconductor industry for its Eragon product line, which is a development platform based on Qualcomm Snapdragon processors.[6]. It has found application across a variety of industry segments including industrial, security and surveillance, infotainment, avionics (in-flight entertainment), display systems (digital signage, smart vending), and Internet of Everything (IoE) systems, and also smart cities, smart grid, smart transit and smart factories.[16]. The Eragon600 System on Module (SoM) and the development kit was displayed at Embedded World 2015 conference in Nuremberg, Germany, where the company showcased an interactive digital signage solution based on Snapdragon 600 processor. With real-time video analytics captured from an IP camera, eInfochips measured the attention span and popularity of the signage content, and updated it in real-time. The setup also included an AllJoyn™ based mobile application to empower viewers to interact with the digital signage content.[16]
