The Birth of E-Paper Timetable Combining Efficiency and Sustainability
In the rapidly changing education environment, National Taipei University faced challenges with frequent classroom schedule updates. Traditional paper-based timetables were inefficient and error-prone, especially as classrooms were not permanently assigned to specific teachers, and daily schedules varied depending on needs. Although LCD screens were used previously, the university aimed to take the lead in green initiatives and environmental responsibility.
To address these challenges, the university adopted e-paper technology, creating a low-energy, high-visibility smart timetable system. This move not only met real-time update needs but also took a crucial step in practicing environmental responsibility, strengthening the university's ESG commitments with concrete action.

Perfect Integration of Hardware and Software with CAYIN and Advantech
CAYIN Technology's software solutions played a critical role in this project. By seamlessly integrating with National Taipei University's scheduling system, CAYIN automated timetable data management and presentation. Meanwhile, Advantech provided cutting-edge e-paper hardware and the DeviceOn platform to enable real-time updates and energy-efficient displays. Key highlights of the solution include:
Smart Integration: CAYIN's software automates data processing, combined with Advantech's panel design tools, to deliver clear and accurate information without manual intervention.
Zero Operational Burden: From deployment to daily management, the system operates fully automatically, requiring no additional effort from university staff.
Innovative Display Features: Timetable content automatically switches based on schedules, with reverse color highlights to help students quickly identify key information.
The solution prioritizes user experience, requiring only basic server and network infrastructure from the university for rapid deployment. This intuitive and efficient design makes the e-paper timetable an indispensable tool for campus management.

A New Chapter for Smart Campuses
The introduction of the e-paper timetable has brought multiple benefits to National Taipei University:
Improved Teaching Efficiency: The QR code-based attendance feature saves instructors time, collects attendance data for analysis, and supports teaching improvements. Automated reports further simplify administrative tasks.
Sustainability Leader: Compared to LCD screens, e-paper displays consume power only during updates and almost no energy in standby mode, drastically reducing power consumption and reinforcing the university's commitment to environmental goals.
Enhanced Campus Image: The paperless timetable system reflects the university's dual commitment to innovation and sustainability, significantly enhancing its external recognition and brand image.
Moreover, this project aligns with National Taipei University's ESG strategy, integrating environmental sustainability with modern campus management, and demonstrating leadership in social and environmental responsibility.

A Vision for a Fully Smart Campus
The e-paper timetable is just the beginning of National Taipei University's smart campus initiative. Future plans include integrating student and staff ID systems for smart access control and automated classroom energy management. These applications aim to optimize campus resource allocation and enhance overall operational efficiency.
Additionally, the university plans to share its successful timetable system model with other academic and non-academic institutions, promoting the broader adoption of smart technology solutions.
This collaboration demonstrates the limitless potential of e-paper technology in education and validates CAYIN Technology and Advantech's ability to deliver innovative, tailored solutions for their clients.
