CSS realised when they looked at the digital signage market, their is a huge demand for protection of LCD and Plasma displays, as many of the digital signage solution providers install these displays in areas that are not ideal, such as in public access areas, on factory floors or even outside in all weathers.

They looked at the market and designed a special enclosure that accommodates all LCD and Plasma displays from 23″ up to 60″, the units protect to IP66 (European standards) and NEMA 4 (USA standards), enabling the digital signs to be installed outside in snow, rain and direct sunlight. The enclosures can be configured so that they create a video wall the full size of the side of a building, if needed.

The enclosures can be cooled or heated depending upon the application, no more restrictions on were you can install digital signage. CSS recently undertook a project for installing Digital Advertising for the Croatian Tourist Authority, the units needed cooling as they would be in direct sunlight and would reach an internal temperature of 125 degrees, this coupled with the sun’s glare on the front of the enclosure.

The solution was to install a special cooling device that was configured via wireless technology providing the optimum internal working temperature. Then the front of the enclosure with the anti vandal viewing screen was coated with an anti glare film, similar to the units on cock pit windows, ensuring that even in the strongest sun light, the display could be seen perfectly.

Digital signage is everywhere, there is no escape, the reason for this is due to it being so cost effective and flexible, almost anyone can create media content, once they have the content just send it via the Internet direct to the display and it’s running live. This puts digital advertising in the reach of every business on the globe for less than $2000, however this could be reduced dramatically, if several local businesses got together and created their own media content, the costs could be shared equally.

What do people do if they cannot create their own media content? Well, they outsource it but this intimidates most people as they do not have full control over it, well how about I tell you that a novice could create order pulling content with some unique software that isn’t available any where else, this is supplied free, yes totally free when you purchase an LCD enclosure from Computer Security & Solutions.

The software wizard, guides you through each step, you just add images form your computer or other storage device and away you go, it really is child’s play.

If you don’t want to go down the route of outdoor digital advertising but you need to show case your products for instance a wedding photographer, they take the pictures during the wedding, then all they have to do is insert the memory card into the digital signage board and the images they took during the day are displayed in a large 19″ High definition LCD display for all to see, guests can then make a note of the images they want and leave the pre-orders for the photographer. This will certainly increase business all this for less than $1000!

CSS have even installed LCD TV’s enclosures on to factory floors were they are washed down with high pressure water jets, they were used for product training. The enclosures can be mounted from the ceiling, pedastal mounted or wall mounted.

We launched a new product in June 2008, this really took off with almost instant demand, we are the only UK manufacturer of protective enclosures for LCD displays, so no matter if they are used on factory floors in dusty, wet conditions or outside int he baking sun, rain or snow we have a solution for you.

Several of our competitors are claiming they offer these units, however the honest trueth is they can’t product a cost effective solution.

In less than 6 months, we have won several major projects at airports throughout the world, secured 1 order for 1037 units in Asia, 600 units to the US military (sorry, can’t tell you the application…) and 1 project for an explosive factory.

We have also supplied our LCD enclosures for digital signage to Egypt, Greece, North America and South America, with 2 huge projects secured and about to commence in Croatia.

Our enclosures are both IP and NEMA rated for protection on factory shop floors from dust and fluids, as well as protecting LCD displays outside in all weathers, the enclosures will accommodate a PC enabling Internet access via wired or wireless means to upload the media content - we are the only company offering FREE media creation software with every enclosure purchased, surely this is a win-win situation for the customer.

The need for the hair net is obvious, you wouldn’t want a stray hair in your food, as for the wellingtons, most areas will be wet, so these give you grip and protect you from the water or chemicals used when the area was washed down during the previous shift.

Now, when you look at the work tables and protective enclosures for the computers, you would notice, they are all in stainless steel, however if you were to ask someone why, they would answer because, “they don’t rust.” However, that is not strictly true!

There are three types of stainless steel, Austenitic, Martensitic and Ferritic.

The Ferritic alloy has more iron content in it, as well as Magnesium and Nickel, Martensitic has a very similar structure. For example Ferritic and Martensitic alloys have a high heat resistance but a poor corrosion property; these are ideal for manufacturing exhausts, but no good in a food environment.

The Chromium content in the Austenitic alloy protects the stainless steel from any chemicals as well as water; this makes it perfect for PC and printer enclosures in food plants.

An easy way to ensure the steel is the correct specification, is to put some bleach on a small area, this will rust if the stainless steel isn’t Austenitic, this is how some manufacturers use lower quality stainless steel but still charge high prices.

Austenitic is perfect for manufacturing anything that is going to be in a food processing plant and wash down regularly. They even manufacture surgical equipment from this alloy.

The only way to successfully weld any Austenitic product is to use Argon arc welding. This melts the steel in a “shield” of argon gas at the front, while the back must be “purged”, this is a process were the gas argon is directed onto the rear of the weld and eliminates the burn marks, it also prevents “blow back”, this is weld beads appear on the reverse of the welded product.

Austenitic is the king of Stainless steel and is all around us, just check out your cutlery drawer.
