Watchfire Signs has made updates to its Ignite OPx content management software, featuring a new user interface, a process for creating, scheduling, and updating content, and more scheduling options, according to a company press release.

Ignite OPx is a content creation, scheduling and content management software that adds animations and graphics. Watchfire's updates have added ways to schedule content and simplified the user experience. A playlist editor includes drag-and-drop functionality as part of the enhanced user interface.

The playlist editor also includes a drop-down menu. For example, a school could schedule messages for an upcoming event weeks in advance, or a retailer could set messages to expire when a sale is over.. Owners of interior and exterior digital displays can also use the default calendar feature to avoid playing outdated content.

"Our internal teams use Ignite OPx to manage a variety of Watchfire and customer-owned display networks. The user experience is as important to us as it is to our customers. Updates like improved content and scheduling editors help make the work of managing signs easier and more efficient," Brian Huber, Watchfire's creative team manager, said in the release.

Headquartered in Danville, Illinois, Watchfire has manufactured electric signs for 90 years and LED displays since 1998 and has more than 65,000 LED displays in operation across the globe.
