Nowhere is this more obvious than in the transport industry, when delays and cancellations of service can affect people’s days, making them late for work, meetings and appointments.

It’s no surprise then that the transport industry were one of the earliest implementers of information screens, using it to display news of impending cancellations and delays.

Using screens for this purpose has many advantages for providing information. Firstly, networking screens together can relay information across entire stations or depots at the same time. Secondly, modern technology enables uploading of information almost instantly, and in real time, keeping customers informed with up to the minute messages.

The transport sector isn’t the only industry that can receive benefits from using information screens and with falling cost of LCDs and plasma displays, more and more businesses and organizations are using them to disseminate important information.

Many schools, colleges and universities are implanting information screens as a form of communication. These digital signage displays make the traditional noticeboard redundant and enables communication across large campuses.

In recent years, since several high profile campus shootings in America, more and more education establishments are using outdoor screens to enable warning and emergency messaging too.

From banks to trading houses, the real time advantages of using information screens enable people to keep abreast of the latest financial news.
