MARANKO design is a leading Czech specialist in the planning, production, and complete implementation of food-focused retail stores. It offers comprehensive services — from design and project documentation to final execution and after-sales support. Its portfolio includes refrigerated display cases for delicacies, meat and sausages, bakery display units, shelving systems, promotional accessories, and back-office equipment. All solutions are delivered in top-tier design and fully compliant with hygiene regulations.
When designing and building new stores, MARANKO uses state-of-the-art technologies, including IT equipment. Key parameters for IT systems intended for retail use include ease of use, intuitive controls, long-term durability in demanding environments, and minimal maintenance requirements. The same applies to the display panels MARANKO installs in stores.
Simplicity is power
In the past, MARANKO used various systems beyond Philips. However, after encountering significant complexity and negative experiences with other brands, the company decided to make a change. Once introduced to the comprehensive solution from Philips Professional Display Solutions, it chose to exclusively install Philips panels in all future projects.
The decision to go with Philips signage monitors was based on both hardware — thanks to Philips’ broad portfolio covering all sizes and deployment types — and software: the powerful ArtemisOne control system. ArtemisOne is ideal for users with no IT background. Even those unfamiliar with technology can quickly learn to operate the system.
Its uniqueness lies in scalability — it can run on a single screen or a network of hundreds of displays managed centrally. While easy to operate, the system also satisfies power users who enjoy exploring advanced features. It’s both user-friendly and robust.
Endless possibilities
With ArtemisOne, the system administrator or responsible employee can manage both the technical side — screen brightness, contrast, color, volume, scheduling — and the content workflow. Content can be updated almost instantly based on promotional campaigns or scheduled ahead of time. ArtemisOne allows centralized control of all screens from a single dashboard, with all key data just a few clicks away.
One key advantage of the system is that it includes photos from each screen’s physical location. This helps the administrator identify the screen and assess its operational status (e.g., temperature). The intuitive graphical interface shows green indicators for working displays and red for those needing attention. Configuration profiles can be created for entire groups of screens — settings are made once and then distributed across the network or only to selected screens. Plus, ArtemisOne can be customized to suit the client’s preferences.
“Our customers are not trained IT specialists. They are skilled professionals who want beautiful and modern stores. This cannot be achieved without advanced technologies — in cooling, lighting, and promotion. Our mission is to design and build 21st-century stores, and thanks to our partnership with Philips Professional Display Solutions, we are succeeding,” says Richard Mikl, Managing Director of MARANKO design.
B2B solutions and professional displays at Philips Professional Display Solutions are managed by Jana Robešová, Leoš Lemberk, and Milan Krejzlík.
“When designing any display solution, we focus first and foremost on the customer's requirements and needs. The entire system can be tailored individually for each client,” says Milan Krejzlík, CEE Sales Manager, Philips Professional Display Solutions.
