Computer Enclosures And The Outdoor LCD enclosure
In manufacturing units PC cases look after the computer systems used for data aquisition and the LCD enclosure keeps from harm the out of doors electronic advertising equipment
With computers getting smaller and smaller this is what attracts production businesses to the devices, as the computer gadgets that is used to record the daily manufacturing data, the amount of time a particular order takes are now being used to promote the business.
Using a basic LCD or plasma flat panel tv, this is mounted in a position that most people can see the information from the manufacturing walkway, if for example there is a problem with a job, too much scrap or the job is taking far longer than it should, officials can monitor the operator to ensure that they know how to use the machine and the best practices doable.
When the flat panel tvs are being put into position the installers have to decide if the area is of high risk, meaning does the marketing hardware need protecting, the protection comes in the form of a steel LCD enclosure; these LCD monitor enclosures secure the electronics from fluid and anything nasty in the air.
What lcd enclosure?
Relying upon what products the factory manufactures, will tell what material the monitor enclosure is made from, as in food preparation areas the machinery and surrounding hardware is to be made from stainless steel as it is washed down with a mild corrosive solution at the end of every shift. With stainless steel material being expensive, you will not want to use stainless steel unless you have to.
In non food or pharmaceutical manufacturing a traditional steel LCD enclosure can be used, these are painted with a special coating that provides a robust and good looking solution, frequently in a black colour.
Not only do flat screens tvs need protecting but also the printers too, as industrial printers are quite high-priced and special thermal printers need even more looking after as their printer housings need a heater to ensure the thermal properties of the special paper stay in tact.
Data collection systems run on a LAN network, sometimes these are separate from the office lan network, but when they are on the same network this is good as this can also be used for digital marketing all through the factory and even in the offices, making any un-used monitor a way to advertise the firm and to motivate staff. This also lowers installation costs as most of the telecom cases with existing wiring will already be on site.
Now promotional signage can be shown every where, but stop for a minute and consider what else it could be used for?
Further training.
This is very cost effective as it is on site and laborers do not have to travel to get the training refresher classes they need, this is ideally suited if you have a global service provider as you can host the training at a pre-arranged time and date through the manufacturing plants and in one session everyone is fully aware of the new training methods. Saving both time and money on wasted travelling time.
Over the past 20 years the author has developed a range of outdoor digital signage protective enclosures and this range of PC enclosure is installed in factory environments and their range of LCD enclosure protect outdoor digital signage hardware.
