Computer Enclosures And The Outdoor LCD enclosure
Computer enclosures protect computer hardware in manufacturing facilities while an LCD enclosure protects the electronic hardware utilised for out of doors dynamic signage, but these two industries are crossing over.
Technology is moving on, packing more power in the ever decreasing cases,this is why manufacturing plants like the equipment due to the compact nature, these are made use of to store the daily manufacturing data, so production and profit figures can be accessed in real time.
Using a general LCD or plasma flat screen tv, this is mounted in a location that most people can see the information from the plant walkway, if for example there is a problem with a job, too much scrap or the job is taking far longer than it should, managers can watch the operator to ensure that they know how to use the machine and the best practices possible.
When the flat panel tvs are being put into situation the contractors have to decide if the area is of high risk, meaning does the marketing hardware need defending, the protection comes in the form of a steel LCD enclosure; these LCD monitor enclosures protect the electronics from fluid and anything bad in the air.
Which type of LCD enclosure?
Depending upon what products the factory manufactures, will tell what material the monitor enclosure is built from, as in food manufacturing areas the machinery and surrounding hardware is to be made from stainless steel so it can be jetted down with water with a mild bleach solution at the end of every day. With stainless steel material being expensive, you will not want to use stainless steel unless you have to.
In non food or drug manufacturing a standard steel LCD enclosure can be used, these are coated with a special coating that offers a robust and good looking solution, typically in a black colour.
Not only do flat screens displays need protecting but also the printers too, as industrial printers are really high-priced and special thermal printers need even more looking after as their printer cases need a heater to assure the thermal properties of the special paper stay in tact.
Data aquisition systems run on a LAN network, sometimes these are split from the office lan network, but when they are on the same network this is perfect as this can also be used for dynamic marketing throughout the factory and even in the offices, making any un-used television a way to market the company and to enpower staff. This also reduces fitting costs as most of the telecom cabinets with existing wiring will already be on site.
Now digital signage can be shown every where, but stop for a minute and consider what else it could be used for?
On going training.
This is very cost effective as it is on site and laborers do not have to travel to get the training refresher lessons they need, this is good if you have a global company as you can host the training at a pre-arranged time and date across the manufacturing facilities and in one go everyone is fully aware of the new manufacturing methods. Saving both time and money on wasted commuting time.
