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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
