Outdoor digital signage has to be seen to ever have a chance of a decent return on investment, if not the project will fail, so one of the main challenges is how to protect outdoor digital signage networks.

When researching into deploying an outdoor digital signage network, as well as considering the different types and sizes of screens, you also will have to consider a media player, this can either be a wireless solution or a wired solution, allowing the audio visual manager to maintain and update the advertisements on the network.

With these screens ranging from $2,000 and the media players costing any where up to $1,500, this investment has to protected not only from the weather but also from vandalism and theft.

There are specially designed and manufactured LCD enclosures specifically for the outdoor digital signage market, these outdoor LCD enclosures are robust and come complete with a thermostatically controlled cooling and heating system that will cope with the most demanding temperatures Mother Nature can through at them. Some units even come with high security locks, actually approved safe locks but make sure you do not lose the keys!

An outdoor LCD enclosure will protect any digital outdoor signage network from abuse and will ensure your investment has a high chance of a good return on your funds.

With screens ranging in size from 36” up to and including 108 inches, finding a solution to protect the screen could be difficult however this is were a video wall comes into play, as you can arrange 46” screens to provide a massive wall of entertainment and still have the hardware protected.

One thing is certain when you complete a digital signage solution, you do not want to be wasting man hours having to send engineers back to site to make sure the screens are still working or they have not been damaged or stolen, this way an outdoor LCD enclosure would save you thousands in wasted labour costs.

LCD Enclosure Global manufacturer a range of LCD enclosures specifically for outdoor digital signage protection, their range of products will protect screens from 17″ up to and including 80″ screens, their LCD enclosure range have been supplied to theme parks, hotels but mainly to signage integrators.

Digital signage is a sword with two edges, it can be used to provide customer information as well as providing marketing media to potential buyers, learn how it is being used in transportation hubs.

There are two options for installing digital signage in a transportation hub such as a train station or bus terminus, they are:

• An all in one digital menu board with a built in media player
• A separate screen with a wired or wireless media player wired together

Each one offers a cost effective solution but there are some limitations, we will look at them below.

All-In-One digital menu board.

This is an LCD commercial screen with a media player built in, these are the most affordable solutions on the market and can be up and running in a matter of minutes, these are ideal for quick none permanent installations such as transport hubs as the transport company can provide information on the days departures and arrivals, these are updated using a flash drive within the media player to update the content for the following day.

Separate digital menu board system.

This is the most flexible solution allowing companies to update content at any time they wish across a network, for example if 100 screens where on site at a train station and there was a problem with a line, a message could be broadcast to the screens in the network information passengers of the problem and possible delays.

The additional costs associated with this type of solution are well justified as the control over the network is exceptional, even certain zones can be changed leaving others as they where.

With the introduction to day parting, these are perfect for replacing the old chalk boards outside the transport hub restaurants; here you can actually see the food you are buying.

LCD Enclosure Global provide a range of LCD TV enclosure as well as supplying digital menu boards and digital posters for indoor digital signage.

Digital signage is massive and growing every day, but is it a get rich quick industry? Where else apart from the stock exchange (but based upon it’s past record) would you invest $2500 and get a return on your investment in 2 months?

Business owners and entrepreneurs have always invested and taken risks, however the technology market is one that has probably made more millionaires. Now with digital signage no matter if it is for indoor or outdoor use, if you deploy is right you will have almost instant profit.

For example, if you own a hotel and in the reception area placed a free standing LCD advertising display, displaying information on your business, then you could charge other local businesses to advertise, with costs starting from US$200 for a 30 second spot per month, imagine if you had 20 businesses eager to advertise on your hardware, every month you would turn over US$4,000 (20 x $200), the hardware would cost you any where from $2,500-$3,000 and you could even charge to create the content and then outsource it.

Based on this information for an initial investment of a maximum of $3,000 you will create an extra income stream and after the first month you will be in profit to a tune of $33,000 per year, and as a by product, you get free dynamic advertisement for your business.

Digital signage is not a get rich quick industry, as you can appreciate it has taken a great deal of investment and time to get to the point we are at now, however where will it take us from the interactive, gesture recognition signage solution that is just developing.

The same scenario can be achieved with a group of digital posters and can be located in elevators also called DEP (Digital Elevator Panels).

Like all business we have to invest for our future.

LCD Enclosure Global supply a range of digital posters and LCD advertising screens at very cost effective prices, as well as manufacturing a range of outdoor LCD TV enclosure.

LCD Enclosure Global – anything else is a compromise.

Digital posters are often an overlooked piece of the digital signage puzzle that is widely available at a very affordable price.

Some units are fitted with motion detectors so they only display content when consumers are in the vicinity, saving power and reducing the impact on the environment.

You may have seen them mounted to shelving units in supermarkets or at the end of the aisles, offering the latest discounts and the best prices compared to other competitors.  Occasionally they provide demonstrations to show housewives and husbands how easy a piece of equipment is and how much your life will be bettered if you buy it.

Another neat option is to introduce the digital poster into a news paper stand, so that you can load particular content from the storage device and display it on the screens, below the screen is an area where people can pick up their selected paper, is this something of the future?

One thing a digital poster struggles with is if you have to upload fresh content on a regular basis, imagine the task at hand if you had around 50 posters and had to update them on a daily basis, the labour costs would be huge, this is where a digital menu board comes in – forget the name for now as this is what they where initially designed for.

Digital menu board.

A digital menu board is similar to a poster however it does not have an inbuilt media player as this limits the flexibility of the solution, when used in a digital signage network. Now a network of screens can be deployed around a soccer stadium and run from either a wired or wireless media player that is connected to the LCD, high definition screen, so if you want to update content on a daily basis, you can with minimal effort.

LCD Enclosure Global – offer a range of digital poster and digital menu boards, as well as their range of ourdoor LCD enclosure that protect outdoor digital signage.

LCD Enclosure Global – anything else is a compromise.

One of the worst things to happen to any digital signage hardware is for the screen to fail; this costs businesses a lot of money to rectify and lost revenue due to the down time, so what can be done to protect the LCD screen?

There are several options, the first is to protect the display from any potential risk of damage by vandals, then you have to consider the weather – this natural element can put an end to and outdoor digital signage project overnight.

Weatherproof TV or Flat Screen Enclosure?

Some companies only deploy outdoor weatherproof screens; these also have to sunlight readable, so the screen can be seen even in direct sunlight. The only problem with these screens is that they are very expensive to deploy and if anything happens to the display the entire unit has to be replaced adding extra cost to a project.

A more cost effective solution is the flat screen enclosure, this is a purpose manufactured solid steel LCD enclosure, that provides both vandal and weather proof protection for the hardware housed inside. The enclosure will accommodate an LCD or plasma screen along with a media player or small factor PC, perfect for either outdoor digital signage or factory information systems.

Cable access is through waterproof cable glands that protect to IP65 and NEMA 4X ensuring no water enters the enclosure during its operation.

These units are more flexible than a weather proof television, as they allow integrators to put digital signage in unusual places, areas where previously ruled out due to the potential vandal risk and the extreme weathers they would encounter.

These flat panel enclosures now allow a screen to be located in any location from the hotel car park, college campus to ferry terminals, proving digital signage will be every where – so get ready for the invasion.

A digital poster is so versatile, this is due to the unit having a commercial grade screen and a built in media player, providing a flexible yet cost effective solution.

With more and more businesses seeing digital advertising as a way to interactive with consumers and uplift sales, business owners and managers are investigating digital posters due to their low investment cost but high impact visual and audio promotions.

These units start at a small 17” display and go up to a massive 80” display, all have a built in media player that stores the advertising content onto a memory card, normally CF cards.

Who is using digital posters?

Well, everyone from nightclub owners to restaurant and bar owner/managers. They want to move with the times and replace their old static printed posters with dynamic advertising screens.

Potential problem with digital posters.

The only issue that has been raised is with the kind of clientele that frequent these locations, sometime consuming too much alcohol and get violent and occasionally vandalises something in the rest room or the nightclub, however one company has gotten round this by designing and manufacturing a steel ArmaPoster, this protects the digital poster from vandalism, with a thick ¼” thick viewing window that has a special anti reflective coating on it.

How to update content.

If you only have one site where the digital posters are located, it is easier and more cost effective to just update the content using the USB connector on the poster to upload new content and ads.

Otherwise a wireless digital poster is the solution if you have multiple sites, so WIFI takes the stress out of visiting each location and updating the media manually. These cost a little more however they will cost less than the fuel you would be paying for driving to each location excluding any labour time.

Why would nightclubs and bars want to use digital signage?

Well we have all seen the neon signs above the bar promoting the weeks “special beer” or cocktail, now using digital posters the manager can create a “special menu” of drinks that are on offer between a set time and schedule this using the onscreen software to display the promotion during slow periods to get people in the bar spending, then switching to another promotion when it traditionally gets busier.

Nightclub and bar owners can also sell advertising spots on their system to local taxi companies and restaurants, so when people have finished at the bar, they can get a taxi easier or even book a restaurant table to follow on from the nightclub or bar.

LCD Enclosure Global have added the ArmaPoster to their range of products that they manufacturer, along with their monitor enclosure and flat screen enclosures, providing a cost effective solution for every application. They also supply a range of digital poster for indoor digital signage, however most of their solutions are for outdoor digital signage.

There are so many ways, opportunities and purposes to make and save capital expenditure and income in the world of Digital Signage.  Numerous research campaigns have proved Advertising = Revenue, so using this in appropriate locations, for example, a retail point of sale (POP) or in a hotel lobby, promoting a product or service.  This shows the world of digital on-screen messaging has a valid and profitable position in the workplace.

This innovative way of using new technology, not only bring in financial rewards, but in other industries provides an invaluable information system.  This is immense in such industries as Health Care, where patient facing devices allow the patient options like privacy, direct access to their records, updating personal information, whilst minimising staff participation, as their time may be spent better in another capacity.  These devices can be set out in a simple flow chart system, empowering the patient and even in moments of stress are easy and accurate to follow, enabling the medical staff to carry out treatment and procedures effectively.  Advertising can also be incorporated, proving much needed revenue by pharmaceutical companies – we all accept as the norm, advertising on our computer screens, so this is nothing distracting, but can be highly lucrative.

These way-finding signage devices are very helpful for the public as they enter a huge formidable building, trying to pinpoint a particular department, possibly in an anxious state.  The simple, yet effective layout of a route on an interactive touch screen, is reassuring as the chosen route can be picked up again just along the corridor (depending how the establishment choose to set it out – in numerous possibilities, including wireless connections).  Advertising on these menu boards (yet another phrase used for digital signage!) can bring in a return on investment (ROI), when not in use for a particular operation, adverts can be running continuously, proving any number of different companies and their products or services – compare that to a static bill board.

From SAP to SCADA every manufacturer is looking for an edge to save money, no matter if it is reducing wastage or informing employees of new contracts won, factory information systems are the way forward.

Manufacturers are very competitive as we all know, so when they are looking to improve their presence in the market place, their IT or Sigma Six team liaise to find the right solution, not the solutions range from computerising the factory floor, or implementing a factory information system, this can work well as well as providing information on the news of the employer, they can be used to highlight the employee of the month, this could be the person who has created the least wastage with the most production output.

So how does this work?

Well to display information to employees in an open large area these screens have to be large so a 60” screen is not uncommon. These can be mounted from the ceiling and either is in a single or double configuration. These can also be used to provide staff training, as the training can be loaded on a central server in the global head office, it is then scheduled for a particular time and staffs attend, before, during or after their shift.

Large companies with manufacturing facilities are looking to Six Sigma to provide a solution, so they are looking into large format LCD and plasma screens to display information to staff providing an informative factory information system.

Now if you want to display factory information, there are solutions out there that will not break the bank, a rugged LCD enclosure is perfect and is rather more cost effective than you may think, even a stainless steel LCD enclosure is perfect for any food environment, providing maximum protection with minimal maintenance.

With indoor digital signage moving so quickly, we have seen the humble digital photo frame turn in to massive LCD displays up to 80” running video and audio presentations, now these are going interactive.

Businesses no matter how large or small are benefiting from this type of marketing, one hair salon has deployed five 22 inch interactive digital posters, these work in two ways, firstly the ladies can choose which hair styles and even use the inbuilt webcam to take a picture of themselves and try the different hairstyles to make sure they like the look. Secondly, this is an excellent way for the salon to get referral business whilst charging a premium for the styling as well as uplifts in sales from the hair products.

These are also being used in car dealerships freeing up the salesman’s time, customers can browse the range of vehicles the dealer has to offer, including the interiors, exterior colours and extras, until the customer has a complete shopping list and then through the digital poster gets a completed price, he can then call a salesman over to place his order.

The content is the same as a none interactive digital poster, however the screen is split into segmented sections, each segment is touch sensitive and all you do just like a website is create folders and put the relevant content in the correct folder, for example in the car dealership you would put all the interior images into the interior folder, same with the exterior product information, this basic organisation will result in a very successful project.

It is a known fact that when you as a business owner engage a consumer they spend more in your store, this interactive engage is perfect for this environment, because as we all know the last thing a customer wants is a pushy salesman asking if they can help.

LCD Enclosure Global now offer these interactive touch digital posters to car dealerships, hair salons for indoor digital signage as well as manufacturing their range of LCD enclosures that are used for outdoor digital signage solutions.
