If Digital Signage Goes Outside It Demands More Than Protection

Digital signage is being deployed in locations such as museums, 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 erased from the face of the earth.

One of the main challenges a zoo has to do is run the cables outdoor to the site of the sign then give the sign with some sort of protection, normally a solid steel LCD enclosure is used, this will guard the digital signage display and media player from the sun and potential theft.

Once this is complete content can be updated for the specific animals and the outdoor digital signage solution can be used to update visitors on feeding events, for example if visitors are at the Lion enclosure and want to see the Penguins feeding the displays can flash up a message informing people of the event in 10 minutes, so visitors have sufficient time to get to the penguin section.

Airport dynamic signage.
We have all arrived at the airport ready in mind 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 kinds of digital advertising. Now when you enter onto the runway side of the airport, you need to ber informed as a baggage handler which plane has come in and which carousel to put the outbound or arriving baggage on, otherwise the lost baggage department would be full of unclaimed suitcases.

Here a standard TV will not survive, due to the weather and possible accidents coming from the runway vehicles, here a solid steel 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.
