In the past, a certain museum was quite busy during the tourist season. The exhibition hall was filled with tourists waiting for professional explanations. The voices of different groups of guides mixed together, interfering with each other. Foreign tourists, when facing oracle bone artifacts, could only look bewildered. Now things are different. You can see tourists wearing small ear-mounted audio guides everywhere in the museum. When they approach the exhibits, the professional explanations are triggered automatically, and they can even switch between multiple languages. Both Chinese and foreign tourists can fully immerse themselves in the charm of the Central Plains culture. This is all thanks to the Yingmi brand, which has been deeply involved in the wireless tour guide device industry for 18 years – as a genuine source manufacturer of museum wireless tour guide devices, it relies on cutting-edge technology and considerate services to make the cultural dissemination in museums more smooth.
I. Common pain points of museum explanations
1.Imbalance between supply and demand for human explanations, resulting in poor experience
During the tourist season, the appointment for human explanations at museums can be reserved several hours in advance. Many tourists cannot afford this and have to give up the explanations and rush through the museum; during the off-season, there are no full-time guides, resulting in waste of human resources. More importantly, the quality of the guides varies, and some do not have a thorough understanding of the background knowledge of the cultural relics and sometimes omit or misstate, which actually affects the professional image of the museum.
2.Inadequate sound quality and coverage, disrupting cultural transmission
Traditional explanation devices have unstable signals. When there are many exhibition halls and the space is spacious, there is a high probability of intermittent sound or interference. Moreover, the background noise filtering is not good. When the crowd is dense or the exhibition hall is noisy, tourists cannot hear the explanations clearly. Additionally, there are few professionals for small language explanations, and most devices only support a single language. Foreign tourists find it extremely difficult to deeply understand the history and culture behind the cultural relics if they want to do so, and the effect of cultural transmission is greatly reduced.
3.Overly cumbersome operation management, unable to improve efficiency
Traditional tour guide devices rely on manual registration to borrow, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is prone to registration errors and equipment loss. After closing the museum, one has to check the power and clean and disinfect each device one by one. Even a slight oversight can result in faulty or undisinfected devices being passed on to the next group of tourists. What’s more troublesome is that there is no real-time management system, making it impossible to promptly grasp the usage of the devices and the rental data, adding a lot of trouble to museum operations.
II. Yingmi‘s exclusive intelligent museum guide tool
This i7 ear-mounted audio guide device is our core product specially developed by us as the source manufacturer for museum scenarios. It is highly tailored to the actual needs of museums and has been selected by many provincial museums. Its core advantages precisely solve the pain points of museums.
1.Sensing technology
In terms of sensing technology, i7 is equipped with an RFID-2.4G non-interfering star distribution system, which can precisely switch signals within a range of about 1 meter. When tourists approach the exhibits, they don’t need to do anything else to trigger the corresponding explanation content. It truly achieves “sound starts when people arrive, and stops when people leave”, which is particularly suitable for environments with dense exhibits.
2.Sound quality and language adaptation
In terms of sound quality and language adaptation, i7 has optimized audio processing technology for the noisy environment of museums, effectively filtering background noise, allowing the explanation sound to be clearly and clearly heard; it comes with 8 languages as standard, and if the museum needs, it can be expanded to more languages, easily solving the problem of a shortage of small language explanation talents and high costs, and meeting the needs of international receptions.
3.Thoughtful design
The design is also very thoughtful. i7 is a small ear-mounted all-in-one machine, which is a technological and design breakthrough in the field of automatic sensing audio guide devices. It is very lightweight and comfortable to wear, and neither the elderly nor children will feel uncomfortable after wearing it for a long time. Moreover, the equipment has passed the EU CE and RoHS environmental certifications and has undergone rigorous quality inspections. From the first unit to the 1 millionth unit, there have been no incidents. It is fully capable of meeting the high-frequency and high-traffic usage demands of museums.
Comparison Table: Traditional Tour Guide System vs. Yingmi Intelligent Solution
| Aspect | Traditional Tour Guide System | Yingmi Intelligent i7 Solution |
| Activation Method | Manual button pressing or following a guide. | Auto-sensing trigger via RFID-2.4G; playback starts when visitor approaches, stops when leaving. |
| Sound Quality | Often unstable; prone to interference or interruption. | Noise-filtering audio technology ensures clear playback even in noisy environments. |
| Language Support | Usually limited to 1–2 languages; requires human interpreters for others. | 8+ languages standard, expandable; eliminates need for rare-language guides. |
| Hygiene Management | Manual cleaning and disinfection, which can be inconsistent. | UV auto-disinfection in rental cabinets + compliance with EU CE/RoHS standards. |
| Operational Efficiency | Manual rental registration, easy errors, loss of devices, no real-time data. | Self-service rental cabinets + intelligent backend system for real-time monitoring and data analytics. |
| Customization & Support | Limited flexibility; often one-size-fits-all. | Tailored solution design based on venue layout + full-cycle service (free updates, lifetime warranty, 24/7 support). |
| Visitor Experience | Cumbersome to use; crowded and noisy during peak seasons. | Lightweight ear-mounted design, comfortable to wear, automatic and immersive experience. |
