In this edition of Noventri Classroom, we will take a look at using digital signage in a manufacturing environment.

When it comes to manufacturing, it is very important to have good communication with the work force. This can present a challenge at times making sure that they get the information that they need. It might be safety initiatives, HR announcements, or more importantly, production metrics and quotas. So how can you make sure this information gets to them?

In talking to different manufacturers, here are some things that they have tried. One is email. That would seem like a great way to get in touch with everybody. But the problem is you have no way to ensure that everyone has read the email, and secondly, not all those in the work force have access to email. One manufacturer told me up to forty percent of his work force did not have email access. So certainly, that is not very effective in trying to get your message out.

Another thing that is being used is information boards or bulletin boards. The problem with this is that it requires actually printing out information and you have manually tack it up to the board. And again, there is no way to ensure that everybody reads it. You also leave yourself open to the graffiti artist of the factory or some other type of tampering. At times, those boards can get cluttered and look unattractive.

This is where digital signage comes to the rescue. Well designed content placed on strategically located screens is a great way to get the attention of your work force. Also, you are able to manage your content from a remote location. That way you do not have to physically go out to each area and post new information. You can control that all from a central hub.

One of the many benefits of Noventri Digital Signage is the ability to tie in to existing database or spreadsheet. This allows you to have information updated automatically on your digital signage. Perhaps you would like to display updated metrics and production goals. You can do that without having to open up the content creation software. It can be handled automatically through your database.

Modern manufacturing is designed to be as automated as possible, and we feel that the same should be true of your digital signage. That way, you do not have to spend time managing your communications, but rather, they do the work for you.

Noventri announces an upgrade to Noventri Suite digital signage software. Version 2.4 of Noventri Suite delivers PowerPoint import functionality, image drop folder capability, enhanced user experience and various bug fixes.

PowerPoint compatibility means that users can import an existing PowerPoint project as part of their digital signage content by simply loading PowerPoint files to Noventri Suite.

“We had three objectives while producing Version 2.4 of Noventri Suite,” says Andrew Hoffman, VP at Noventri. “First, we want the user experience to be simple and easy. Second, we didn’t want those that are coming from a PowerPoint workflow to start from scratch. Third, using Noventri digital signage should be fun. I think those objectives have been met.”

• PowerPoint Compatibility
