Projected signage is proving to be more adaptable to the health and safety signage needs of modern motor manufacturers, providing a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional signage.
So says leading providers of projected safety signage, Projected Image, who state that the adaptability of projected signage is one of its greatest strengths.
Modern motor manufacturers are constantly adapting operations to the demands of new technologies, such as the development of electric vehicles. Projected safety signage offers a versatile solution, making it an essential tool for modern factories.
“Motor manufacturers face unique challenges. Production lines and facilities are always evolving to support new models and cutting-edge technologies, making traditional signage less effective at keeping up with changes in layout or space usage” explains Ian Spoors, Managing Director of Projected Image.
“With its ability to be updated and relocated with minimal disruption, our clients are telling us projected signage is a versatile alternative that not only adapts to these changes but enhances safety and efficiency in the process.”
Projected signage eliminates issues common with traditional and painted signs, such as fading, chipping or becoming outdated. Plus, replacing traditional signs can be costly and time-consuming.
By contrast, projected signage uses vivid, durable projections that are easily updated with new gobos – the custom glass optical filters used within projectors. This means facilities can adapt signage to new pinch points, altered workflows or entirely new production lines with minimal disruption.
“Unlike painted signs and vinyl floor markings, projectors can be repositioned as needed, and the gobos can be swapped to display new designs. Projected Image is the only company in the UK to provide a dedicated full service for projected signage” says Ian.
“We supply projectors, but we design, scale and manufacture the gobo lens in-house to ensure quality and accuracy too. This means we create bespoke solutions for individual health and safety signage needs, such as branded markings, pedestrian crossings and forklift safety warnings which fit into precise locations. The clients we work with say they are the ideal solution for environments where layouts and operations are constantly changing.”
The cost-effectiveness of projected signage is another key benefit. Repainting or reprinting traditional signage can lead to significant downtime and expense, disrupting production lines and slowing output.
Projected signage, by contrast, minimises these disruptions, offering a quick, hassle-free solution that lasts up to 50,000 hours with very little maintenance.
“Projected signage isn’t just a quick fix. We have seen that it’s a long-term solution for manufacturers that evolves with the facility. Even if operations move to a new location, the projectors can be relocated too, delivering unparalleled adaptability and value” says Ian.
Projected Image has worked with some of the biggest names in the automotive industry, implementing bespoke safety signage solutions.
“As the automotive industry continues to push boundaries with electric vehicles and advanced manufacturing techniques, projected signage is essential to maintaining safety and efficiency. Our team can provide tailored consultations and technical surveys to ensure each projector meets – and adapts to – the specific needs of its environment” concludes Ian.
