Embou, together with the institutions of the Alto Aragón Valley, promotes tourism in this Pyrenean territory, aiming to bring its natural and cultural heritage closer to residents and visitors.

GOAL ACHIEVED

Design a tourist information system accessible at transit points across the valley, able to operate autonomously even in areas of the high Pyrenees without stable access to the electrical grid.

Tourist information where travelers wait

Embou, alongside the Alto Aragón Valley, wanted to bring the territory's tourist wealth closer to those traveling through its villages and routes, without relying on brochures or mobile coverage. The idea started from a very specific place: waiting time. Bus shelters, stops and other transit points across the Pyrenees became the perfect setting to tell the valley's story.

To shape this project, Embou trusted DeuSens and its technology partner TECCO, responsible for manufacturing and physically installing the totems on site. The combination of both teams made it possible to move from concept to a system working under real mountain conditions, with everything that implied in terms of energy, maintenance and accessibility.

An autonomous website and totems built for the territory

The core of the project was the development of a tourist website managed through a custom CMS, designed so the Alto Aragón Valley team could update content, points of interest and news without depending on third parties. Every change was reflected directly on the installed totems, keeping information always current without external technical intervention.

For the physical side, ePaper technology was chosen, capable of displaying readable content with minimal power consumption. This decision proved key to installing the totems in locations in the high Pyrenees where reaching them with conventional wiring would have been difficult or simply not viable. Adding solar panels to each installation completed the picture, giving the totems energy autonomy and reducing their dependence on the grid.

Tourism and technology serving the territory

The result was a network of information points spread across the valley that turned waiting time into an opportunity: discovering routes, villages and corners of Alto Aragón while waiting for the bus. Autonomous content management ensured that information stayed up to date and relevant for those consulting it.

For Embou and the Alto Aragón Valley, the project meant having a sustainable, low-maintenance tourism promotion tool adapted to the territory's terrain. For DeuSens and TECCO, it was a new demonstration of how low-power technology can thrive in hard-to-reach environments without sacrificing experience quality.
