Digital Signage for Manufacturing

Production data and safety comms on the floor

Live Power BI dashboards above the line, safety notices that rotate by shift, and a scrolling alert you can push plant-wide in seconds, across one factory or twenty, from a single dashboard.

The problems screens solve in manufacturing

  • KPIs stay locked in the control room, the Power BI widget puts live, auto-refreshing production dashboards on screens where operators actually work.
  • Safety comms rely on faded noticeboards, scheduled playlists rotate safety protocols and toolbox topics by shift, and a scrolling announcement overlay handles urgent alerts.
  • A dead screen on the floor goes unnoticed, automatic offline email alerts, per-screen uptime timelines and remote restart keep every display accountable.
  • Plants run different content with no oversight, nested groups and tags per plant and line, with scoped roles, keep local autonomy inside a central standard.

Typical setups

  • Line-side KPI boards

    Power BI dashboards per line show live output against target, framed by a ticker for shift notices.

  • Safety and compliance screens

    Rotate protocols, incident-free counters via the countdown widget, and PPE reminders on shift schedules.

  • Canteen and handover screens

    Company news, recognition and shift-change information where the whole workforce passes twice a day.

  • Yard and warehouse LED boards

    Novastar LED displays carry dispatch and safety messaging, with publishes queued offline and retried automatically.

Built for the job

Digisigns features manufacturing teams lean on

Live Power BI dashboards

Embed auto-refreshing Power BI reports in Studio layouts, output, quality and downtime metrics stay current through the shift.

Instant plant-wide alerts

A scrolling announcement overlay pushes over every screen via instant cloud push, no tannoy, no printed memo.

Shift-based scheduling

Rotate content by time slot and day of week, so night shift sees its own notices and handover screens flip on time.

Offline alerts and uptime

An automatic email the moment a screen drops offline, plus uptime timelines, remote screenshots and remote restart.

LED walls and scheduled power

Novastar LED controller support with offline-queued publishing, plus scheduled power on/off aligned to production hours.

Runs on modest hardware

Playlist stitching renders content into a single video for low-power screens, and per-screen Data Saver limits bandwidth use.

From control room to shop floor

Production data changes behaviour when it hangs over the line, not when it sits in a browser tab. Digisigns embeds live, auto-refreshing Power BI reports in Studio layouts, alongside tickers, clocks and safety content, the same KPI pattern corporate offices use, hardened for the floor. Shift-based schedules flip content between day and night crews, and when something needs everyone’s attention now, a scrolling announcement pushes plant-wide in seconds. The complete widget set is on /features.

Built for plants, not just offices

Factory conditions punish fragile signage. Digisigns answers with automatic offline email alerts, per-screen uptime timelines, remote screenshots and remote restart, plus scheduled power on/off so screens match production hours. Novastar LED boards publish even on flaky links, with offline-queued publishing and retry, the same capability transportation hubs rely on. Playlist stitching and Data Saver keep low-power screens and thin networks smooth, and scoped roles per plant keep governance in line with government-grade audit expectations.

Manufacturing digital signage FAQs

Can Digisigns show live production dashboards?
Yes. Studio's Power BI widget embeds live reports that refresh automatically, so line-side screens show current output, quality and downtime figures without manual reloads.
How fast can we push an urgent notice to every screen?
Seconds. Publishes travel via instant cloud push, and the Announcement feature overlays a scrolling banner on top of whatever each screen is playing, across one plant or all of them.
What happens when a screen on the floor fails?
Digisigns emails you automatically when a screen goes offline. The dashboard shows an uptime timeline per screen, and you can take a remote screenshot or restart the device without walking the floor.
Does it work on LED boards and older hardware?
Yes. Novastar LED controllers are supported, including offline-queued publishing with retry, and playlist stitching plus Data Saver keep content smooth on low-power screens and constrained networks.
How much does factory digital signage cost?
Standard is $20 per screen per month ($220/year); Professional at $30 adds up to 10 users. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
