Information display
Information at a Glance: Display key metrics, process data, deadlines, and the latest information on digital displays—automatically updated and centrally provided.
What is an info display and how does it work?
An info display is a digital screen that presents current information, key metrics, process data, notices, or dashboards in a clear and visible way. Information from various systems is made available exactly where employees, visitors, or customers need it.
In many companies, relevant information is already available digitally—for example, in Excel files, dashboards, calendars, databases, or specialized systems. In everyday work, however, this information often has to be actively searched for or manually transferred to notices and displays.
With connectSignage, info displays can be managed centrally and existing data sources can be integrated. Content can be updated automatically and targeted to specific locations, departments, displays, or audiences. This turns existing data into visible, up-to-date information.
Where are info displays used?
Info displays are suitable wherever current information needs to be quickly visible to employees, visitors, or customers.
Typical areas of use:
- Reception and entrance areas
- Waiting areas
- Production floors and shop floors
- Laboratories and research facilities
- Control rooms
- Clinics and medical practices
- Government offices and public service centers
- Schools and universities
- Service areas
- Logistics areas
- Cafeterias and break rooms
- Hallways and elevator areas
Information displays serve different purposes depending on where they are used. In production environments, the focus may be on key figures and process data, while waiting areas might display queue numbers and wait times, or reception areas might show appointments and visitor information.
What content can be displayed on an information screen?
Typical content includes:
- Key figures and KPIs
- Power BI dashboards
- Production and process data
- Status updates
- Wait times and queue numbers
- Appointments and events
- Visitor information
- Safety information
- Project and site information
- Weather and traffic updates
- Public transport departure times
- Images, videos, and other media
Existing information sources such as CSV files, Excel lists, databases, websites, SharePoint, Power BI, calendars, RSS feeds, or APIs can be integrated. This eliminates the need for duplicate data entry and ensures that information on the displays remains automatically up to date.
What are the benefits of an information display?
Information displays make data more visible, current, and accessible. Instead of having to search through various systems, relevant information is displayed exactly where it is needed.
At the same time, the automatic integration of existing data reduces manual maintenance. Changes can be made centrally and distributed to individual displays, specific areas, or multiple locations.
With connectSignage, information displays can be managed centrally, content can be scheduled, and various data sources can be integrated. This allows you to provide dashboards, process data, and current announcements via a single digital signage platform.
Which industries are information displays suitable for?
Information displays are particularly relevant for:
- Industry and manufacturing
- Healthcare
- Laboratories and research facilities
- Logistics
- Government agencies and public institutions
- Schools and universities
- Service providers
- Retail
- Hotels and hospitality
- Chain stores
The greatest benefit is found wherever information changes frequently, processes need to be made transparent, or current data needs to be visible directly in the work environment.
