Digital Signage Enclosures Applied In Transportation and Education Facilities

Digital signage enclosures are being made use of in many places from transportation hubs to schools and educational institutions, so you need to know what is available to suit your use.



Digital outdoor signage.

Dynamic signage is when a flat panel display screen and a small form factor PC are used to present ads to passers by, this then sparks the prospective customers attention and tempts the potential customers to purchase your product.Typically in this application the hardware is fitted on a wall high up so standard digital signage enclosures can be used in this use these are secured with typical cam locks and have a viewing window of 1/4" (6 mm thick).



Outdoor digital signage at eye level.

As the name says, it is all about being head and at eye level, equivalent to the general outdoor digital signage that is normally positioned higher up on walls, this reduces the customers tensing their neck looking up at the advertising.



These digital signage enclosures are produced from thicker steel, the viewing window should be designed out of thicker material (usually 1/2" or 10 mm thick), and the entry doors are equipped with ultra secure locks to keep anyone with out power entering the case and either stealing or destroying the digital signage appliance. These extra security options are critical if the hardware is to be protected 24x7, due to the units being at an easily accessed height.



As well as the digital signage cases being more robust, even the internal flat TV mount inside has special anti theft bolts to reduce anyone from thieving it, as a special tool is needed to remove the bolts that secure the arms in place on the frame.



Outdoor TV in your backyard.

These protective cases have the same high security as the digital signage enclosures at eye level due to the nature of our homes being vacant most of the day, whilst we are at work or on vacation, giving any would be thief an occasion to come and take your much valued outdoor TV.



Transport centres

These various forms of casings are used in many locations from airports on airside, to inside the airport terminal, they are also used in tram and coach stations, but usually these are positioned high up out of everyone’s reach, so the first solution is the most cost effective.



Campus digital signage.

Most schools, colleges and universities have info to present and get to every student on the campus, this is why a digital signage network is vital in education, but imagine how much deterioration would appear if these flat panel displays where not guarded from the odd thrown thing, as we all know boys will be boys.



Now here is where the second solution would be best implemented as this would certainly provide security on the investment whilst the screens are in full view of the pupils at eye level.



Wash down and beach applications.

Here any digital signage enclosures have to be produced out of stainless steel material, as the raw material in the beginning more expensive than the regular digital signage enclosures but will last in high salt content areas and when there is water present in the fast vicinity.
