Factory Information Points Now Using Digital Signage
Previously in factories we have seen the old notice board when you enter the reception area and even on the factory floor, these have been used to inform staff and visitors alike about the company.
Now it seems that technology is creating a buzz and the notice board is being replaced by digital signage, many organisations who have a manufacturing facility are deciding to remove the old notice board and put up LCD displays, these are then networked on the same data network the computers run off. The content is added by the marketing department and it can quickly be changed, for example if a visiting dignitary sends someone because they are sick, within 30 seconds the greeting on the welcome sign is changed to the new name and it shows he company is on the ball.
This is fine in public areas, however when a customer visits and you wish to show them round your facility, this is an ideal opportunity in enforcing your product brand immediately on your guest, as soon as they see the large screens in manufacturing areas they will certainly be impressed, it also shows that the company invests in new technology, such as digital signage and is ahead of the game.
But there is one problem even commercial screens are not designed to be used in areas were damaging air borne particles are, most manufacturers have some form of corrosive effect, from coolants to carbon particles if these get into the rear of the display it is only a matter of time until the screen fails.
The solution – is to put the screen in a ruggedized LCD enclosure, these provide IP65 protection, so they can even be washed down with high pressure water jets, perfect for any food processing company. These can either be cooled or heated to provide the perfect environment. The LCD enclosure are fitted with a sophisticated cooling system that also incorporated a filtration element, that filters all tiny air borne particles out, so the air entering the unit is clean, cool air.
Then the screen inside the protective case can be mounted to gantries or ceiling mounting using a heavy duty mount.
LCD Enclosure Global – anything else is a compromise.
