Midsummer temperatures of just under 40 degrees did nothing to dampen the positive atmosphere: Around 100 dealers, specialist planners, and system integrators accepted Kindermann GmbH invitation Kindermann GmbH Xperience Day 2026 and enjoyed a varied day full of innovations, exciting insights, and personal exchanges. Under the theme “Transformation & Change,” the event combined technological trends with practical insights while also providing the perfect setting to celebrate the company’s 165th anniversary together.
Visitors had the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes at Kindermann. During guided tours of the production, logistics, and service areas, it became clear just how closely tradition, quality, and innovation are intertwined at the company’s site.
A particular highlight was the two keynote speeches by renowned industry experts. Mike Blackman, Managing Director of ISE, shed light on current developments in the international AV market. He highlighted which technologies are currently in particularly high demand and in which application areas the greatest growth is expected in the future. His insights provided participants with valuable guidance for future investments and market opportunities.
Raphael Gielgen, trend scout for “Future of Work, Life & Learn” at Vitra, focused on the profound transformation of our working world. With inspiring food for thought and compelling examples, he motivated his audience to question familiar ways of thinking and adopt new perspectives. His call to look beyond the horizon more often and view change as an opportunity resonated strongly with the participants.
The accompanying trade show was also very well received. Together with its partners Bose Professional, Legrand, LG, MAXHUB, Newline, Optoma, Sony, and Vogel’s, Kindermann showcased the latest product innovations and practical solutions for modern work and learning environments. The focus was on in-depth discussions, live demonstrations, and direct exchanges between manufacturers, partners, and specialty retailers.
In addition to the technical innovations, there was plenty of opportunity for networking. During the relaxed wrap-up in the garden, participants took the opportunity to catch up with one another, discuss new ideas, and reflect on the day together in a summery atmosphere. Not even the German national team’s loss during the public viewing that followed could dampen the excellent mood.
“The Xperience Day has once again shown how important face-to-face interaction is for our industry. Especially in times of change, the best ideas emerge through direct dialogue. We are very pleased with the positive feedback from our guests and would like to thank all our partners and visitors for a thoroughly successful day,” Timo Meißner, Managing Director of Kindermann GmbH.
With the new PD-50xx series, Kindermann introduces a high-performance generation of professional displays designed specifically for continuous use in demanding environments.
The non-touch displays combine a slim yet robust housing, flexible integration options, and modern connectivity standards—ideal for digital signage, corporate communications, educational institutions, and safety-critical applications.
Designed for continuous professional use
The displays are designed for 24/7 operation and feature a rugged all-metal housing that ensures reliability and durability. With a lifespan of at least 50,000 hours, they offer a sustainable solution for professional installations.
With a brightness of over 550 cd/m² and a 25% haze anti-glare surface, the displays offer a balanced combination of low reflection and high image sharpness. This ensures that content remains clearly visible even under difficult lighting conditions.
Because they don’t have an operating system, the displays start up quickly and are ready for use within seconds after waking from energy-saving standby mode—a key advantage for high-availability installations.
At the same time, the absence of an actively running operating system ensures exceptionally low power consumption, since no additional system processes need to run in the background to ensure a quick startup.
Maximum Control and Flexible Integration
When developing the PD-50xx series displays, we deliberately chose not to include an integrated operating system. This eliminates software dependencies, update cycles, and potential security risks. Integrators and IT departments retain full control over the systems and external players in use.
The OPS slot allows for the direct integration of a PC module into the display. This makes it possible to integrate signage or system solutions into the overall system in a space-saving and straightforward manner, without the need for additional hardware.
Modern devices can be connected via the USB-C video input with charging capability. Video signals and power are transmitted simultaneously through a single cable—ideal for efficient, future-proof presentation setups.
Wide range of models for various applications
The PD-50xx series displays are available in five sizes: 55, 65, 75, 86, and 98 inches—each with 4K resolution (3,840 × 2,160 pixels). This allows the series to cover a wide range of applications—from meeting rooms and educational institutions to installations in retail and public spaces.
Thanks to flexible installation options such as portrait mode or a tilt of up to 30°, creative signage concepts are also possible, for example for information kiosks, menu boards, or freestanding displays.
With its new display series, Kindermann is targeting not only the German market but also its international sales partners. As an established brand in the AV sector, the company is now active in numerous international markets and is continuously expanding its position as a provider of professional AV solutions.
With the new TD-12xx series, Kindermann presents a pioneering generation of interactive displays that have been specially developed to meet the requirements of the education sector. Designed by practitioners for practitioners, the series impresses with its intuitive operation, sophisticated functions and excellent price-performance ratio.
Outstanding image quality and precise writing feel
The TD-12xx series includes display sizes from 55 to 98 inches with up to 50 touch points. The direct connection between glass and display enables an exceptionally natural writing experience. The advanced infrared technology offers high accuracy and tool recognition, for example for thick or thin pens, fingers or palms, as well as pressure sensitivity for the first time. The optimized front glass significantly reduces reflections and also has an antibacterial coating - for a healthy learning and working environment.
Intuitive user interfaces - Simple. Clear. Reliable.
Kindermann offers the best of both worlds: In addition to the proven, in-house developed user interface, which is familiar to many users from previous models, the "stock Android user interface" typical of EDLA is available - ideal for experienced tablet users. Both interfaces are logically structured, offer quick access and enable a seamless, consistent user experience - without any training period.
State-of-the-art technology - future-proof
With Android 14 and Google EDLA certification, the system is always up to date - including regular security and function updates. A powerful processor, Wi-Fi 6 and versatile connection options such as HDMI, USB-C (one connection for image, sound, data, touch and up to 100 W charging power), OPS slot and more guarantee maximum flexibility and durability. The integrated 2.1 audio system with 60 W ensures powerful sound.
Interactive freedom - wireless and versatile
Thanks to bidirectional screen mirroring, content can not only be transferred from different devices to the display, but also back - ideal for interactive teaching and presentation formats. Screen sharing is easily possible via dongle, app, AirPlay, Miracast or Chromecast. In addition, cameras and speakerphones connected to the display via USB can be controlled wirelessly under Windows and macOS.
Software with added value
With Gynzy and Edu-CAP, Kindermann offers proven and useful software solutions for teaching. Particularly noteworthy: A 5-year license of Gynzy is already included in the scope of delivery for schools. Gynzy is a cloud-based teaching platform that transforms interactive classroom displays into powerful digital teaching tools. It offers a variety of features to enrich lessons and actively engage students. All popular apps are also available via the Google Play Store. Kindermann offers the MDM software solution SOTI MobiControl for secure management and data protection-compliant operation of the displays and other devices.
Focus on sustainability - energy-efficient, durable, future-proof
Despite a brightness of over 450 cd/m² - around 28% more than previous models - the new TD-12xx displays have been significantly optimized in terms of energy consumption. Thanks to the latest display technology, power consumption is up to 20 % lower, which not only reduces operating costs but also makes an active contribution to environmental protection. The robust design and a minimum service life of 50,000 operating hours underline the long-lasting quality of the displays. At the same time, the sophisticated equipment ensures a future-proof investment.

Kindermann Innovations up close

It offers the user plenty of space for creative development on 65 to 86 inches and can also be used as a "table", i.e. horizontally. The new Klick&Show K-FX Plus supports the proven collaboration functions, a dual-screen function for even more presentation space and two USB cameras on the input side. It also impresses with its simple plug & play installation, which is also possible without admin rights. The new 4K transmitters are available for wireless content sharing.

Kindermann GmbH, a manufacturer and distributor that is one of the established suppliers of school equipment, and avony GmbH, known for its Education Cloud, are now working even more closely together. The aim of this cooperation is to offer perfectly coordinated complete solutions for the digital classroom.
Both companies are aware of the demands and challenges that digitalization in education entails. This is not just about the compatibility of hardware and software, but also about high quality standards, sustainability, ease of use and, above all, compliance with security and data protection regulations.
A perfect example of this is the interaction between the SOTI MobiControl and EDU Control device management systems and the interactive displays from Kindermann. SOTI MobiControl makes the data protection-compliant use of Google accounts child's play, while EDU Control allows the displays to be managed so that they can be used in an educationally sustainable and energy-efficient manner.

Kindermann is expanding its portfolio with the currently most powerful OPS PC with Android 13 and EDLA certification. It not only impresses with its computing power, but also enables access to all Google services, including driver and security updates.
When touch displays are getting on in years, it is usually due to an old Android version that can no longer keep up with modern applications. However, integrated chips and drivers prevent the operating system from being updated easily. With the new attractively priced OPS-PC, Kindermann extends the service life of these touch displays and thus secures the investment. In addition, the OPS-PC offers a whole range of improved functions and a higher security standard.
Powerful and EDLA-certified
The new Kindermann OPS-PC MT8195 is equipped with an Android 13 operating system and state-of-the-art hardware. In addition to a powerful Mediatek Octacore SoC, 8 GB DDR4 RAM, a fast 128 GB SSD hard disk and WiFi 6 module, the device's EDLA certification is a particular plus point. EDLA stands for Enterprise Devices Licensing Agreement, a new program that Google introduced at the end of 2022. This enables unrestricted use of the operating system and all Google services, which brings many advantages. For example, official access to the Google Play Store is guaranteed and apps and tools can be seamlessly integrated. On the other hand, certification also increases device security as it makes the Google Play Protect service available. Android 13 also ensures greater security, for example by improving control over which apps can access which information. For example, access to certain photos, videos and clipboard history can be blocked.
Perfect for the education sector: The Kindermann Education Box
Kindermann offers the OPS PC as an "Education Box" with a five-year license for SOTI's MobiControl device management system especially for the education sector. This makes the data protection-compliant use of Google accounts child's play. The use of Google services is particularly problematic in the education sector, as it requires a Google account. However, these must not be personalized for data protection reasons and generic accounts without access restrictions are simply unsuitable for schools. With MobiControl from SOTI, all necessary accounts can be created and managed centrally and made available to teaching staff via automated one-click setup. The apps that are to be available for download can be defined in advance in the profiles, which enables secure and data protection-compliant use.
Kindermann presents OpenSpaces, its new all-in-one solution for booking rooms in working, conferencing and collaboration spaces. The system consists of two components: the intuitive configuration tool (Windows) and a door sign.
10" door sign
The Kindermann 10-inch door sign is a professional Android tablet with touch function. Room bookings can be triggered directly on the door sign, which are then automatically visible in the Outlook calendar. This also allows existing bookings to be extended or the occupancy of other rooms to be displayed. With OpenSpaces, you can see from a distance whether a meeting is taking place behind the closed door or whether the room is free.
The integrated status LED uses different colors to indicate whether the room is free, soon to be occupied or currently in use. Individualized templates can be loaded onto the door sign using the configuration tool. On request, Kindermann also supports the creation of templates in the look and feel of the customer's corporate design.
Configuration tool
With the intuitive, step-by-step guided setup via Windows Setup, configuring the system is child's play. License and Exchange data are queried one after the other. The comprehensive documentation and information texts for each field help you to find and enter the correct data. The signs are then licensed and can be changed visually. Under the "Door signs" tab, the logo can now be set and customized with the company colors using the included template without the need for a graphic designer.
Finally, all that remains to be done is to link the room mailbox to the door sign and OpenSpaces will display the room booking information in the chosen design. Kindermann OpenSpaces is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized companies that do not want a subscription model but are looking for a system that is easy to implement, visually appealing and scalable.
