Dynamic digital signage in factory represents a flexible and fast tool of communication. Further more, it can also automate the communication. Since the messages are easily modifiable, you can adapt them to the time of day, work shift, or the screen's location. We therefore ensure that the right information is sent to the right people at the right time. This article present 5 good reasons to use dynamic digital signage in a factory.
Here is a demo that shows what can be displayed on a screen
Real-time performance and quality indicators
The use of digital signage allows organisations to embed any of their database, from ERP for example, then automatically display real-time information that is relevant and easy to understand. For instance, it can display:

The figure below shows a concrete example of what could be displayed on a screen.
OHS prevention
Dynamic digital display can help your company improve its occupational health and safety (OHS) by displaying dynamic digital sign, prevention videos and important messages. You can:
- Inform about risks and dangers.
- Convey safety rules.
- Call for vigilance.
Since the messages are easily modifiable, you can adapt them to the time of day, work shift, or the screen's location. We therefore ensure that the right information is sent to the right people at the right time.

With a touch screen, you can signal sudden and temporary risks directly on the screen and quickly inform everyone of the danger. For example, if a worker sees an ice slick, he can immediately flag the danger on the screen to share the information with his colleagues.
The image below shows a concrete example of what can be shown on screen for prevention purposes.
Human resources communications
There is a lot of important information to communicate in factories, which is why there is often one or more bulletin boards. Those are overloaded.
With digital signage and a good content strategy, you can display your information attractively and efficiently:
- New positions to fill;
- Birthdays;
- Upcoming events;
- Union information;
- Company history;
- Internal culture;
- The cafeteria's weekly menu.

Training
To ensure that your employees remember their last training properly, you can use digital display for simple reminders.
For more interactivity, it is also possible to setup touch screens so employees can receive training or consolidate their learning. For example, through videos that show how to use specific tools.
Communicate changes and spontaneous information
Communicating a change in a factory can be a perilous task for many reasons, since the following situations will probably happen:
- Employees don't have access to their email;
- Employees don't have access to phones;
- Employees are not working the same shifts;
- Employees are not looking at the bulletin board.
Poor communication leads to issues of efficiency and security. Incidentally, poor communication during a period of change tends to increase unwanted behaviors by 42%. [1] Dynamic digital can broadcast information quickly, visibly and instantly. You are certain that everyone is up to date and aware of the latest modifications to regulations and goals at the same time.
Finally, dynamic digital signage simplifies and reinforces your communications.
