Prior to Instorscreen, Henrik had an impressive career at Cisco, where he was responsible for rebuilding the network infrastructure of several companies.

As the company’s sales skyrocketed, Henrik brought Instorscreen headquarters to the U.S. market. It has helped the company grow by designing and creating the perfect hardware solution to existing shelf solutions, allowing customers to invest in existing shelf solutions with Smart Retail 2.0.

At Instorescreen, Henrik uses technology to make digital signage solutions rich and affordable. He said, “inDAISY + is one of the key features to enable scalability of smart retail displays.

We asked Henrik, if given a chance, what he wanted to change in the digital signage industry, to which he replied, “We find that one of the most complex problems in bringing technology to retail shelves is the limited availability of electricity. Not only is there virtually zero energy applied to the main body of the isles, but there is no power conditioner. So, we’re focusing on this issue and plan to announce a new daisy chain soon using the latest USB-C protocols. The plan is to have a cable for video, data and power, and not hundreds of power supplies and all related electrical infrastructure to support them. “
