The xCocos Server (eXhibit Control and Configuration System) serves as a central platform for control, maintenance, and data management in networked exhibitions featuring distributed interactive installations.

With xCocos, it is possible to maintain a clear overview of which and how many stations are active within an exhibition. All stations can be remotely monitored and controlled – for example, they can be started, stopped, or restarted individually.

Stations may be automatically powered on and off at predefined times, with custom schedules for each weekday. This allows the system to prevent stations from starting on closing days.

Extensive statistics and log data provide detailed information on status changes, actions, and events. In addition, IP webcams, VR headsets, IoT devices, and network components can be monitored and controlled through xCocos.

The system also records how often each station has been started, stopped, or restarted. Stations can be grouped according to rooms or thematic areas.

Furthermore, xCocos can display the current number of visitors present in the exhibition.

The xCocos Server is continuously enhanced and expanded with new functionalities and features. Every five minutes, it performs a status check to ensure that all stations are operating correctly, contributing to a stable and reliable exhibition environment.

Additionally, xCocos transmits statistical data via MQTT and can also receive MQTT messages – for instance, from IoT devices, VR headsets, or other connected systems.

The server is also capable of analyzing user data and transmitting it to a website, enabling the presentation of visitor statistics, interaction metrics, and related information.
