Communicating safety messages to staff in a warehouse environment can be difficult as staff typically have limited or no access to company emails.  Digital signage technology solves this issue providing employers with the tools to communicate to a large staff audience at a cost-effective price.

Digital signage delivers many other advantages to an employer in addition to mass scale display and economic pricing.  For example, digital signage is a solution that can overcome language, cultural and educational barriers by placing an emphasis on the multimedia formats such as videos and images in the display content.  

In fact, the old adage by Fred R. Barnard in 1927, that ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’ has never been more accurate than in digital signage in the 21st century and has proven so successful in the dispatch area that employers use it for conveying key internal data in addition to external information.
