When Digital Signage Goes Outdoors It Needs More Than Protection
Digital signage is being deployed in placed such as zoos, train stations and other transportation hubs. Why you may ask?
Zoo digital signage.
Outdoor digital signage is used for informing visitors of the animals activities in their natural habitat, the hardships they endure and why they are in danger of being removed from the face of the earth.
Do one of the main things a zoo has to do is run the cables outdoor to the location of the sign then provide the sign with some sort of protection, normally a solid steel LCD enclosure is used, this will protect the digital signage screen and media player from the weather and potential vandalism.
Once this is done content can be updated for the specific animals and the outdoor digital signage solution can be used to update people on feeding events, for example if guests are at the Lion enclosure and want to see the Penguins feeding the screens can flash up a message informing people of the event in 10 minutes, so visitors have ample time to get to the penguin section.
Airport digital signage.
We have all arrived at the airport ready in anticipation for our outbound flight, one of the first things we do when we enter an airport concourse is to look up and check your check in details. Then throughout the flight centre you will see all types of digital signage. Now when you enter onto the runway side of the airport, you need to know as a baggage handler which plane has come in and which carousel to put the departing or arriving baggage on, otherwise the lost baggage department would be full of unclaimed suitcases.
Here a standard screen will not survive, due to the weather and possible accidents coming from the runway vehicles, here a weatherproof LCD enclosure is needed, these provide the protection needed to ensure the level of service is maintained by the ground staff, these cases are cooled with special thermostatic cooling units that also incorporate thermostatic heating so once set they are good to go for years to come.
