Digital screens for workshops and production: orders and schedule in plain sight
In the workshop, people rarely open email or the ERP. A workshop information board, a large screen on the wall, shows the orders board, the schedule and the priorities, so every shift knows what is coming without asking. IDS Global supplies the screens and the cloud-based IDS CMS platform, which shows a web page or dashboard from your system together with pictures, video and PDF files.
What the screens show in the workshop
- An orders board from your ERP or MES system, shown as a web page.
- Shift and task schedule for the day and the week.
- Production indicators: plan completed, scrap, downtime.
- Safety rules and instructions as a PDF or a picture.
- Messages to the team: schedule changes, meetings, holidays.
How it works
- You choose the places: the workshop entrance, the production line, the warehouse, the dispatch area.
- We install the screens with a built-in player.
- You add the address of the board from your system in IDS CMS. The screen shows it full screen.
- You add announcements, instructions and a schedule, which alternate on a set programme.
Your system needs to be able to show the board as a web page. If it cannot, we discuss the options when you get in touch.
What the IDS CMS platform includes
- remote content management for many displays
- web page, clock, weather and RSS on the screen
- grouping devices by workshop, site or location
- programmes with a flexible broadcast schedule
- device status, screenshot and restart
- protection against unauthorised access
- templates in portrait and landscape format
- support for jpg, mp4, pdf and other formats

One workshop or many
If production is in several places, each site can have its own programme, while messages from headquarters reach all of them at once. See how managing many sites works. For offices and reception areas: screens for the office and internal communication.

What we need to get started
Three things are enough: where you want screens (workshop, warehouse, dispatch), which system will provide the board, and how many sites there are. We send you a project-based quote.
Frequently asked questions
Can the screen show data from our ERP or MES system?
The screen shows a web page. If your system can show the orders board as a web address, it can be shown on the screen. If it cannot, we discuss the options when you get in touch.
What else can be shown?
Pictures, video, PDF files, a clock, the weather and a news feed (RSS).
Who manages the content?
Your team, through a browser on any computer. If you prefer, we prepare the content for you.
How many screens do I need?
It depends on the size of the workshop and on where people look. Often you start with one or two screens and add more.
What happens if the connection drops?
The web page shows only while there is a connection. Pictures, videos and PDF files from the programme keep playing from the screen memory. Read more.
Are the screens suitable for a dusty workshop?
We do not have a special model for dusty environments. We offer professional 43" and 55" screens and, together with you, assess the installation spot.
How much does the solution cost?
The price depends on the number of screens, the installation and the software subscription. We prepare a project-based quote after a short conversation.
