DIGITAL SIGNAGE APPLICATIONS FOR MANUFACTURING – INDUSTRY REPORT

18 Feb DIGITAL SIGNAGE APPLICATIONS FOR MANUFACTURING – INDUSTRY REPORT

Digital Signage in Perth is making a big difference in manufacturing on a large scale as outlined in our Industry Report.

Large and small business manufacturing organisations with shop floors, production lines or the like, are increasing using digital signage to enhance productivity and communications in the factory environment.

Whether a dozen staff or thousands, digital signs can help to effectively communicate with all users – in a planned, regular or sporadic way to enhance the production environment via safety messages, training, motivational bursts or production updates.

Manufacturing facilities may be the best equipped out of any work environment to reap the benefits of digital signs in the workplace. Imagine your employees tasked with repetitive technical tasks and operating complex machinery without ready access to the traditional mediums of phone and email service – digital signage gives employers effective ways to communicate efficiently and effectively with their workers.

Ideal for large or complicated domains, digital signs adapts to scale brilliantly – from one screen to literally hundreds. With built-in data integration, you can seamlessly connect with your back-end systems while eliminating paper signs all together. Utilise the mapping feature to easily direct visitors through your facility and connected buildings. Take advantage of the built-in emergency messaging application to convey important safety alerts.

Location, Location, Location – Is the position of digital signage important?

Yes! As in most things, location of digital signage is critical. One of the first questions you will need to ask yourself before deploying a digital signage system is where the screen(s) should be located. The answer is simple: in those key areas where your target audience is likely to be found most often, seeking information.

Identify typical routines and traffic flows around your business facility to identify the most appropriate locations. Usually, these are:

• Entrances: First impressions really matter. It’s important to present key facts about your establishment, promotions, events and staff achievements to staff and visitors.
• Staff Rooms and Cafes: These spaces can be effectively utilised when staff are in down-time mode. For maximum impact, keep your message light, newsworthy and poignant with vibrant, positive imagery to attract staff attention.
• Factory Areas: Such as production floors, dining areas and meeting places.
• Training Rooms: Interactive technology allows your staff to explore the equipment in greater depth making knowledge hard to resist!
• Add pictures, fun facts, games and videos to make displays compelling.

IMAGINE…stream live tweets on your screen to promote to staff … advertise real-time news, announcements, TV and events information … engage with staff – know that your messages are being heard.
