Make Your Analog Signage Interactive
Algorithm goes beyond simply displaying information — it creates moments that engage, surprise, and delight. Whether unveiling a hidden message, sparking audience participation, or adding a dynamic layer to your space, Algorithm turns communication into an interactive experience.
Paired with our flagship Split Flap display or Picture Flap display, it brings movement and sound into the experience, making every update a moment worth watching.
The Interactive Split Flap Experience
Your Split Flap display isn’t just a sign; it’s a conversation waiting to happen. That’s why we created Algorithm: a seamless way to allow your guests engage with your Split Flap while keeping you in control.
With Algorithm, you curate the experience. Guests don’t just type anything and it’s shown on the sign; they interact through a guided selection of fader and button options, ensuring every message aligns with your brand. The result? A dynamic, participatory experience that captivates audiences, sparks curiosity, and transforms how you share information.
Turn your Split Flap installation into an unforgettable moment.

How It Works
Unparalleled Guest Experience
Select a category
Choose a button on the Algorithm to get started. If the Algorithm has a fader, slide that around to your desired position.
Watch the results appear on the Split Flap
The Split Flap modules will rotate, animating to your message outcome. There are a few seconds of anticipation before the big reveal.
Depending on your desired experience:
Invite guests to share their results on social media (and tag your brand!), promote sales of certain products, continue to educate your guests on your brand, or all of the above.

How Algorithm Can Work For Your Brand
Retail Concept
At a Dispensary
At Klutch Cannabis, the Algorithm refers clients to specific products, matching the product profile and the customer’s preferences.
Their Algorithm is programmed with dozens of messages, for a wide variety of products in their inventory, so that customers get unique, personalized recommendations.

Recommendation Concept
At Our Headquarters
At Oat Foundry, we use Algorithm while hosting tours of our headquarters in Philadelphia. We programmed Algorithm to display local recommendations curated by our team since most of our visitors are from out of town.
Need a lunch spot after your visit? Want to explore some Philadelphia history? Looking to do some shopping?

Beverage Concept
At the Bar
Pair Algorithm with your tap list to turn beer recommendations into an interactive experience. Guests can choose a category, such as like Seasonal, Light & Crisp, or Zero Proof, using the physical buttons, and the Split Flap reveals a curated recommendation. It’s a playful, tactile way to help guests discover what’s on tap without another screen.

Software
Integrating Algorithm with our Portal CMS
Cost & Subscriptions
The content management software is included with your analog signage purchase.
No monthly or annual fees.
Connectivity
An Ethernet connection is requested for your Split Flap or Picture Flap display. The CMS is cloud-based. Algorithm is then connected wirelessly to your analog signage.
Settings
Once your Algorithm is connected to the Split Flap or Picture Flap display, customize the LED colors and the messaging that you’d like to display with each button selection.

Built by Hand
Creating Analog Technology at our HQ in Philadelphia
At Oat Foundry, we believe that great design is in the details. That’s why Algorithm is crafted with the same care and precision that defines everything we create. Our team of engineers and designers meticulously develop each system to ensure not just reliability, but a seamless and intuitive experience for every user.
From the software that powers Algorithm to the physical Split Flap displays it enhances, every element is thoughtfully designed for both function and aesthetics. Each Split Flap display and Algorithm interactive is built by hand in our Philadelphia workshop.
With Algorithm, you’re not just getting a product; you’re getting the perfect blend of engineering, design, and craftsmanship.
