Exploring the case for Digital Signage in Mining
We recently set out to explore what industry factors are likely to change the mining industry’s approach to signage in the future. Digital signage is an important consideration for a number of reasons as outlined in a Case Study. There are three key reasons why we believe that mining digital signage will be such a game-changer. Importantly, in an industry where safety is paramount, the use of modern technology to assist in the communication with, and performance of, mine sites seems a no-brainer.
There’s no doubt that moving away from static signage opens up many new avenues for communication with mine site personnel. Innovative digital signage can be leveraged to deliver 3 key benefits, summarised as:
- enhanced wellbeing and safety;
- improved productivity;
- reduced costs.
Digital Signage as a Game-Changer
Compliance: The post Covid-19 compliance landscape has changed for ever. Going forward, it is inevitable that compliance requirements will call for even more regular, current and critical information to be communicated in real time. This is especially valid in high risk environments such as mine sites.
Real Time Information: The practicality of how messages are communicated to the wider mine site population and Head Office is at the forefront of Operations Management teams. At all stages of the exploration life-cycle the durability of the messaging platform is more important now than ever.
Engagement & Well-being: Trying to engage workers in an ever cluttered world gets harder and harder. So, finding ways to provide health and well-being communication for FIFO workers takes skill. A recent study by the Queensland University of Technology* established that modern communications were especially important to the psychological health of FIFO workers. Roster lengths and distance from home all contribute to relationship stress. Importantly, technology can enhance a worker’s life in camp. It makes so many things quicker, easier and more convenient. This can have a significant positive impact on well-being.
