What exactly is an LED sign?
LED's are (Light Emitting Diodes). The bulbs are designed for long life (100,000 Hours Minimum) and use very little energy. Therefore LED programmable signs can be used to send a lot of attention getting messages at low cost. LED signs are widely used in a variety of locations. Anywhere from your local elementary school to Times Square, New York. Anywhere that people have a message to convey that absolutely needs to be noticed, you will find LED signs!

Why use a programmable LED sign?
Simply put, they are a "re-useable" resource. LED signs are a one-time investment that offers great flexibility.

How do my messages get into the LED sign?
If your message is simple, then you would use the handheld remote control. With this user-friendly input device you can enter multiple messages with canned animations and you can even schedule messages. There also are IR message loaders available to program from a PC then you would hand carry this to remote signs or different locations for downloading. Most customers use our (off the shelf) messaging software, or write thier own custom software. Networking options are also available to send messages to multiple signs.

Can you automate sending messages to LED signs?
Yes, if you have a lot to say or multiple signs to program then the AlphaNET plus messaging software is what you need. When using software you can connect from your PC to the signs over various methods: Direct Data Cable, Local Area Network (LAN), Wireless (LAWN), Paging (WAWN) and Modem.

Can ENTECH connect manufacturing and call center equipment into LED signs?
Yes, if you would like "real-time" information from an existing database to be displayed then consider our ALPHA ActiveX or Smart Alec software. We also have an ALPHA communications protocol available for writing your own software.

Is it possible to get live news, sports, or stock feeds displayed on LED signs?
Yes, Internet fed "Stock Market" subscription services are available with "real-time" or delayed stock and index quotes. Canned subscription services are also available with different packages for business and sports options.

How can ENTECH improve the way our business works?
Imagine that you are arriving at a championship basketball game late. You don't know who's winning, how much time has expired, or how many fouls have been called, and you don't even know who is playing. What do you do? How do you acquire the basic statistical information you need to become an educated viewer? The same way you have hundreds of times before, you look up to the scoreboard and are instantly informed of the current situation. What if it was not there? How would you know what was going on? Does this differ from today's fast paced world of business? A manager enters a plant or work floor and is presented with a very similar scenario. There is a tremendous amount of activity; the employees (players), the supervisors (coaches), and in turn the managers (officials) are all involved in the business or production process. How do you know the score? How do they know the score?

 

Our LED Marquees provide employees, supervisors and managers with real-time information anywhere in business/manufacturing/material handling/etc. process. ENTECH realizes that information is power, and the power of displaying intelligent and clearly presented data greatly improves your team's ability to address issues before they become problems.
