FETCO was looking for an opportunity to improve their production and work more efficiently in their factory. They opted to try digital signage.
Opportunity for Digital Signage
Before FETCO implemented digital signage, they had relied on static communication such as a production sheets.Employees would walk to one centralized location to check what task they needed to perform next. This was FETCO’s primary way of communicating with their production employees. This became a time consuming and costly process to relay information and updates in such a delayed way. Additionally, it required someone to manually check the sheet.
Implement digital signage has meant, that FETCO eliminated many touch points in their factory and head office. Presently, this is very important with the COVID-19 pandemic. Eliminating touch points reduces the risk of infection. Furthermore, it limits human interaction, which helps keep employees safe.
What needed to be done?
Improve internal communication by implementing a digital signage solution. Determine the locations for the digital signage displays as well as the number of displays needed.
Once implemented FETCO needed to manage the content on their digital displays content.
Utilize displays to inform employees while eliminating touch points.
Simplicity of the Mvix implementation along with cost savings within our production environment made this an easy decision to make and this decision came with its own rewards.
