Epson announced the Epson Projector Management Connected (EPMC), a new cloud-enabled remote management tool for Epson projectors. Epson says with today’s hybrid work models and a greater prevalence of large fleets of projectors being used in schools, corporations and immersive environments, there is an industry need for a solution that enables easier, faster and more powerful management and control when remotely working with an immense number of projectors. Ideal for AV professionals, IT managers and systems integrators, this new service allows for managing, controlling, monitoring and receiving critical notifications from projectors remotely.

Though most fleet management software requires the user to be working on a computer connected to the same network as all the projectors in the fleet, EPMC enables quick access to an unlimited number of projectors from any web browser anywhere, including mobile devices such as a tablet or smartphone. Benefits include:

Simplifying projector fleet organization with intuitive projector group management and monitoring
Usage and error reporting that can be sent live or scheduled to authorized users at set intervals
Troubleshooting actions remotely with basic controls like source switching or power control
Ability to add an unlimited number of users with varying levels of access

With the ability to monitor projector usage in detail, end users can optimize the life of their fleet by maintaining or rotating projectors to take advantage of projectors in under-used rooms. Managers can schedule daily shut-off times to reduce unwanted run time, while administrators can be notified of potential risks of shutdown or upcoming maintenance requirements. With possibilities for optimization, Epson says the free cloud-based service helps minimize downtime and ensures projectors are ready to display whenever and wherever needed.
