🏭 Manufacturing Digital Signage

Digital Signage for Manufacturing

Your people are on the floor. No desk, no inbox, and not much time to stop and read. So the information has to be where the work is. Look DS puts production KPIs, shift plans and safety notices on screens in the plant, the warehouse and the break room, and you run the lot from a browser. Send something now and the screens you picked have it within minutes.

One publish reaches every plant

A shift change or a safety notice goes to every site at once, from any browser.

Dashboards that refresh themselves

Figures from Power BI, Looker and Geckoboard update on screen, with nobody exporting slides.

Screens keep playing during outages

Through a network outage on the floor, cached videos and images carry on running.

Put production data and safety messages where the work happens

Manufacturing digital signage lets plants manage production, safety and shift information on screens across the factory floor, warehouse and break areas from one centralized platform instead of relying on printed boards and email.
Production, quality and HSE teams publish in a browser, build the schedule around shift handovers, and aim it at one line, one building or every site. Deskless workers catch the same numbers their supervisor watches, on the way past. Every shift works from the same picture.

Digital signage for every area of the plant

A board above the line, a screen at the shipping dock and a TV in the break room answer different questions for different shifts. One account runs all three, each with its own content, its own schedule and its own publishing rights.

Production lines and machine-side boards

Show the shift its own numbers, hour by hour.
Operators see what the supervisor sees. Output against target. Downtime. Scrap. OEE. The view itself is built in Power BI, Looker or Geckoboard, and Look holds it on screen as live content that refreshes on its own.
In a Screen Layout the quality alert or the changeover reminder sits next to the chart, rather than rotating out of sight.
Best for: Output vs target, downtime, scrap, OEE, quality alerts, changeovers

Warehouse, shipping, and receiving

Keep pick, pack, and dispatch working to one plan.
Dock schedules, order volumes and pick priorities shift through the day. The sheet taped to the desk does not. Put the browser-based warehouse dashboard on the wall with Embeddable Code, or have a Zapier step change the screen whenever the system behind it changes.
Forklift traffic rules and PPE reminders for the aisles below run on the same board.
Best for: Dock schedules, order volumes, pick priorities, traffic rules, PPE reminders

Workstations and assembly cells

Put the current work instructions at eye level.
A cell running three product variants a week needs the right instructions at the station, not the ones from the last build. Content Creator puts the steps, a photo, and a QR code to the full document on one card, and tags send it only to the cells running that job.
Job changes, card changes, done from the office. No printing involved.
Best for: Work instructions, changeover steps, QR to full SOP, quality checks, tooling notes

Break room and cafeteria

Reach people when they have time to read.
The break room is for everything the KPI board is not: a new hire, a service anniversary, somebody's birthday, a benefits deadline, the cafeteria menu, a notice from the works council.
Each card starts from a template in the brand kit. Schedule the menu ahead of lunch, and company news takes the screen back afterwards.
Best for: New hires, anniversaries, birthdays, HR deadlines, cafeteria menu, company news

Entrance, gatehouse, and visitor reception

Brief visitors and contractors before they go in.
Everyone coming onto the site needs the same short list. What PPE to wear. The site rules. Where to report, and who to call. That list lives on the gatehouse screen, in whatever languages the site needs, and it changes the same day a rule does.
Add a welcome card for the day's visitors and a clock, and nothing at reception gets printed any more.
Best for: PPE requirements, site rules, visitor welcome, contractor check-in, clocks

Training rooms and onboarding

Run the same training material at every site.
Induction, toolbox talks, and refresher training drift apart when each plant keeps its own deck. Run the master deck from Drive with the Google Slides app and every room shows the current version the moment the file is edited.
Give the room a topic a week on the schedule and there is always something to show. No USB stick required.
Best for: Induction, toolbox talks, refresher training, safety videos, quality standards

Key features

What should you look for in manufacturing digital signage software?

A plant creates demands an office does not: fixed shift handovers, intermittent network access and strict IT rules about what can sit outside the firewall. The right platform keeps content reliable across all three conditions.
Across factory and warehouse networks, the capabilities worth having are these:

Free templates

Free manufacturing templates for safety, quality, and shift updates

Brand colors and fonts go in once. Templates pick them up after that. And the manufacturing collection is built around what plant screens carry day to day: safety reminders, days without incident, quality alerts, production targets, handover notes, a welcome for the new starter. You edit the copy, set the schedule, publish. No designer in the loop, no agency, and no laminated sheet yellowing on a wall.

Built-in apps

Apps that put live plant data on screen

An app sits in a playlist like any other item, keeping itself current. No more exporting a dashboard by hand or uploading the weekly report. If the plant network drops, cached images and videos carry the screen, and the apps resume their updates when it comes back.

Manufacturing digital signage resources

    Frequently asked questions about manufacturing digital signage

    What content can manufacturing digital signage display?

    Manufacturing screens can show production KPIs, shift schedules, safety notices, quality metrics, workflow instructions, training videos, inventory updates, wayfinding, and employee announcements. Different content can be scheduled for production floors, warehouses, break rooms, training areas, and other parts of the facility.

    Can Look Digital Signage connect to MES and ERP systems?

    Yes. Look connects to MES, ERP, and other internal systems via API, so production and operational data can appear directly on factory screens. If your team already works in Power BI, Google Sheets, or a similar dashboard tool, you can pull from those sources too, instead of rebuilding reports by hand every time something changes.

    Can I display OEE and real-time production KPIs on factory screens?

    Yes. If metrics such as OEE, throughput, downtime, scrap rate, or production targets are available from your MES, ERP, dashboard, or another connected data source, Look can display them on screens throughout the facility. Look acts as the visual communication layer rather than calculating manufacturing metrics itself.

    What happens if a factory screen loses its internet connection?

    Look supports offline playback. Previously downloaded content is stored locally on the device, so scheduled safety messages, instructions, production information, and other content can continue playing during a temporary network outage. Once the connection is restored, the device can receive new content and schedule updates.

    Can digital signage be used for safety and emergency communication?

    Yes. Screens can run day-to-day safety content such as PPE reminders, hazard notices, and evacuation routes. If something urgent comes up, your team can push a warning or emergency instruction to specific screens or the entire facility in seconds, with no need to print and post new notices.

    Can I manage digital signage across multiple factories or production sites?

    Yes. Screens across different factories, warehouses, departments, or production areas can be managed from one Look account. You can publish content everywhere at once or target specific screens and locations, making it easier to maintain company-wide communication while keeping local production and shift information relevant.

    What hardware do I need for manufacturing digital signage?

    You can use compatible displays you already own by installing the Look app, or connect a screen to a Look HDMI Player. Look supports a range of platforms, including Android, Windows, Linux, macOS, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Fire OS, Google TV, Raspberry Pi, and other supported devices.

    Is cloud or on-premise digital signage better for a manufacturing facility?

    It depends on your IT requirements. Cloud-based digital signage is convenient for centralized remote management across multiple facilities. Manufacturing companies with stricter infrastructure or data-control requirements can use Look On-Premise and run the CMS within their own IT environment instead of relying on a public cloud deployment.

    How can manufacturers measure the ROI of digital signage?

    Look at what the screens are replacing or speeding up: printed shift boards, manual production updates, or communicating changes across multiple sites. Playback analytics and Proof-of-Play reporting add another layer on top of that, confirming exactly what content ran, where, and how often.
