LCD Enclosures

Digital signage has come a long way in a very short period of time; this as been helped by the constant reductions in the components used for a digital signage system, from the LCD displays and the plasma televisions to the new technology to play the content on, such as thin clients and commercial media players.

These reductions put digital signage in the reach of most businesses, no matter if it is digital advertising poster or a full blown digital signage network. So much so, we are now seeing unique ways to use commercial digital signs.

Unusual Solutions.

One taxi company in the Ukraine is deploying it’s fleet of 500 cabs with interactive signs, so people can search local attractions such as theatres, hotels and restaurants. The signs are secured on to the ‘driver’s protective screen’ and content is added via a wireless connection, the full deployment was funded by local businesses that wished to pay to advertise their business.

Bizarre solution.

However, one of the most bizarre requests has been to install protective LCD enclosures on to the sides of vans and trucks, however there has to be some questions asked to why? As the ads will only be seen when the vehicle is stationary in traffic, such as when they are waiting at a set of traffic lights or when the driver is making a delivery.

Then think of the environment, because when you add an extra 200lbs to a vehicle in weight the performance and fuel consumption decreases dramatically, costing them more to run the vehicle.

Dave owns the world’s leading LCD enclosure manufacturing company that has designed protective solutions for digital signage including a new petrol pump advertising enclosure. This will accommodate 2 LCD displays up to 26” back to back with media players mounted in between, audio on the enclosures can be muted by the customer if needed.

Self service can be a perfect solution for quick service and fast casual restaurant owner operators who are faced with increased competition, higher costs and eroding margins. Using self service can help you to sell faster and less expensively in the restaurant.

There is nothing better than going to a restaurant that you have been to before and experienced impeccable service. When you are greeted promptly, shown to your seat and the food is cooled perfectly. But more times than not, the service is atrocious. It can take almost ten minutes for a waiter to ask you what drink you want. Then when you finally place your order, it feels like a lifetime until it is delivered to your table.

For a more consistent and positive experience, it appears that self service kiosks and interactive digital posters come to the rescue. Waiting inline can be a real chore but self order kiosks now eliminate them or at least drastically reduce them.

But the benefits of a self service kiosk are translated to the owner. In addition to helping out the waiting staff, the guests can increase the amount guests spend and improve customer service.

LCD Enclosure Global – anything else is a compromise.

Not everyone can afford the state of the art LCD television to watch by the pool, however there are solutions to level the playing field.

You can buy a plasma TV, this just like the LCD display will need protecting from the weather and vandals. One of the best solutions is to put the plasma television into a protective plasma enclosure – these provide the relevant cooling and heating solutions to ensure the TV lasts for years outdoor.

This way, you can make sure you never miss a game whilst doing the gardening…or if you are in your hot tub or pool, this will certainly keep the children entertained.

So no matter if you have a small budget or just the need to protect your outdoor television, LCD Enclosure Global has the solution.

LCD Enclosure Global have positioned themselves as the premier manufacturer of protective plasma enclosures in the World.

With the boom of the digital signage industry, many small local businesses are looking to harness this technology, so that their business can benefit. Now there are several low cost options that are available immediately, however this totally depends upon how the unit is going to be used.

Outdoor use.
A waterproof LCD enclosure is an option if the digital signage is going to be outdoors for a period of time, these protective LCD enclosures offer a safe and secure environment from the weather.

These units protect to IP65 (European standard) or NEMA (USA standard) and provide adequate protection from the rain, ice and direct sunlight. They also offer physical protection from vandals and theft.

Each unit comes with a choice of heating or cooling solutions and can come with a combined solution to cover from -20 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit, providing all year round protection.

The use of the protective TV cases is mainly in unmanned areas due to the vulnerability of the digital signage system.

Indoor use.
However a similar solution is an interactive digital poster that can be either in the portrait or landscape orientation, depending upon your requirement. You insert the media on to the memory card and then use the onscreen menu to display you ads.

The screen is split into 9 sections, so you can then market 9 items easily and effectively from one unit. These are ideal for dentists, lawyers and reception areas to get a marketing message across.

Interactive digital signage posters are one of the most affordable ways to enter into the digital signage market. The use of them is almost endless as they can be used form mom and pop stores displaying current promotions, through to corporate reception and meeting areas were their products or services are displayed.

Digital signage is fast becoming the new trend for any forward thinking business, leaving behind conventional printed posters. The cost savings on printed media coupled with the environmental issues of printing thousands of posters is eradicated when digital posters are used.

There are two type of digital posters;

1. Standard digital signage poster
2. Interactive digital signage poster

They work exactly the same way, you create the content no matter if it is video, images or even a PowerPoint presentation with audio, it is then loaded on to a memory card and inserted into the “onboard” media player, now this is were the likeness ends.

The standard digital signage poster is then controlled by the onscreen menu to select how you want the content to be displayed, including how big or small you want the rolling text.

The interactive digital signage poster can have as many as 9 interactive sections of the display, so you can market 9 areas of a business, this is set up via the onscreen menu and is ready to roll in a matter of seconds. When anyone clicks on any of the 9 images displayed for the particular area or business, product or promotion, content is then displayed relevant to the area of business.

LCD Enclosures Global have successful sold these to 3 of the UK’s leading department stores as well as local businesses including solicitors, accountants and dentists.

LCD Enclosures Global now offer a solution for all pockets, from indoor digital signage to outdoor LCD enclosures.

LCD Enclosures Global have been manufacturing protective enclosures for over 20 years, however the business diversified 12 months ago, havign developed a weatherproof LCD enclosure, this enclosure is to IP65 (European standard) and NEMA 4X (US standard), basically it tests how water tight the unit is by using a high pressure jet wash, having passed the relevant tests with flying colours, their units have been supplied to:

• Airports
• Rail and ferry terminals
• Prisons
• Soccer stadiums
• Bars
• Restaurants

Being selected from a list of potential suppliers to supply Universal Studios is a major win. Securing the contract for being the sole supplier to Universal Studios for weatherproof lcd enclosures is fantastic.

As well as waterproof lcd enclosures, they also manufacture weatherproof plasma enclosures, these normally are a little deeper than an LCD unit.

The units can be fitted with cooling fans, heaters, cooling tubes (that are more cost effective than air conditioning units) and air conditioning units.

When Graham Gallagher, owner of LCD Enclosures Global, received a call from a US digital signage integrator for an urgent project in Nebraska, USA, he checked with his production manager and confirmed that the 42 units could be manufactured and delivered to the USA in just 3 weeks. This was essential, as the project was on a penalty clause should it be late.

The units were to work in extreme temperatures from -10 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, so a special cooling and heating solution was installed in all the TV enclosures.

Being the only 1 out of 3 companies to quote, as the other two so-called “manufacturers” of LCD enclosures (including a manufacturer in the USA), told the signage integrator that it could not be done. One UK company based in Birmingham UK, told the customer it was “impossible for them to deliver in such a tight time frame – and they were sure no one else could either”. A few days later, LCD Enclosures Global won the order and production started.

Production was run on a 2 shift system both running for 8 hours per shift and the manufacturing team stepped up to the plate and delivered what they promised, unlike the other companies who were asked to quote – running away with their tail between their legs, due to the tight manufacturing time.

From receipt of order to the 42 units being delivered to the customers door in the USA took only 2 ½ weeks, proving LCD Enclosures Global are the worlds premier manufacturer of enclosures that are used in outdoor digital signage.

No matter if you are after 1 LCD enclosure or 100 LCD enclosures, LCD Enclosures Global should be your first call – anything else is a compromise.

With the huge increase in sales of LCD and plasma TV’s, more and more people are putting their TV’s from the home into the garden near their pool or hot tub. However we must no forget that these are not the same commercial displays used in outdoor digital signage.

The main challenge with putting any electronics outside is the need for protection, the commerical LCD and plasmas used for digital signage are waterproof, however they are not vandalproof or theft proof.

When putting a TV outdoors you must ensure that the display has adequate LCD waterproof protection, without this will result in a costly repair.

The TV that is placed outdoors needs to be prtoected from freezing temperatures to blistering heat, so the ideal solution is an outdoor LCD enclosure, these offer the relevant protection, both NEMA 4X (US standard) and IP65 (European standard). This was the outdoor digital signage is protected from the weather, potential vandals and theft.

One of the Worlds leading manufacturers of plasma and lcd protective cases has moved 200 miles south in the UK, so that they are nearer ports to ensure a more efficient service.

The move should ensure that their carefully selected key distribution partners have stock to service almost all enquiries, this investment in a state of the art manufacturing facility is also scheduled to be the second phase in their expansion, with a manufacturing facility being opened in New Jersey USA in the next 3 months (providing all the papaerwork is in tact), they will then be in the perfect position of supplying their products throughout America on a 24 hour basis – this will also be true for Australia and Europe as these will be supplied from their distributors sites.

Currently they are supplying products from the UK and air freighting then to the USA, even the air freight expensive makes the total solution a more cost effective option than their competitors.

Their range of products covers everything from flat panel monitors through to 100′ video walls, they have an affordable solution
