When budgeting for a PC enclosure deployment, there are many reasons as to why a company may choose one cabinet over another. 

Quality, warranty, reputation, and availability are all common items that drive a purchasing decision. It is wise to explore all options available on the market and hone in on some “not so obvious” items that will help companies recognize the true cost of ownership. 

Looking for a NEMA 4 pc enclosure that can house a computer, monitor, printer, and keyboard?    

“It starts with a strong digital signage content strategy!”

 

While this statement is very true, there is more to an LCD enclosure project than most people realize. During the planning phase, you must consider not only the marketing message, but also the network, design, content, and above all – the hardware. Digital signage lives through the hardware, and the hardware cannot function without quality content.

Project requirements vary widely and many require a custom solution to ensure specific electronics work well outdoors.  

Most enclosure manufacturers offer a few ‘off the shelf’ products, but electronics are ever-changing and certain instances will require a unique, custom product to be developed.

If your factory or manufacturing facility is dark, we have a bright idea!

 

Add a light to an industrial computer enclosure to achieve optimal lighting conditions.

Within an enclosure, the ability to direct light towards vital electronics helps improve maintenance efficiency. Distributing light throughout a cabinet is advantageous for accessing electronics or performing various tasks. The good news: an enclosure light is generally very easy to install. A few of the installation options include: a simple magnet, a screw for din rail or rack channel, or a clip mount.

“I can just buy it cheaper from someone else.”

When installing thermal management on heavy-duty computer enclosures, filters are essential in keeping particulate matter away from sensitive and expensive electronics.  

 

Fan filters help keep oil, dust, dirt, fibers, and lint outside and away from the enclosure system. However, it is common for filter maintenance to be overlooked after deploying a computer enclosure. Depending on the environment, filters should be checked once or twice a month (or more) to ensure that proper air flow is being circulated throughout the cabinet. 

We are living in a digital world! 

It is a natural progression for businesses to incorporate digital messaging into their marketing strategy. From quick service restaurants (QSRs) to college campuses to healthcare to stadiums, digital signs are popping up in new venues every day. It is no surprise that the digital signage market is valued at $16 billion(!) and continues to grow steadily each year. As more companies consider the value of digital, it is important to research the necessary steps to find the best solution before making any purchasing decisions. 

Kiosks deliver dynamic content and streamline the ordering process.

 

Everyone has seen a kiosk in a Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) or Fast Causal Restaurant which boasts “Skip the Line – Order Here.” Digital signage kiosks are popping up all over the country and at a rapid pace. If the project is carefully examined during the planning process, self-ordering kiosks can be beneficial to all parties involved. 

In manufacturing environments, the demand for label printing continues to rise!  

Just about every product that a company ships includes some sort of barcode label. From product labels, to serial numbers to shipping labels, it is almost impossible for a product, in the consumer or commercial business world, to leave a factory or warehouse without some type of identification sticker. Popular label printer brands like Zebra or Sato can be enhanced with environmental enclosures that will protect vital electronics from dust, dirt, lint, grease, or even hose directed water in wash down climates.
