Manufacturing firm Nekoosa Holdings Inc. has installed a corporate communications digital signage display system from Industrial Television Services throughout its three-building manufacturing facilities, according to an announcement from ITS.

The company said its system displays real-time productivity, materials and KPI metrics to help Nekoosa's manufacturing teams achieve goals. ITS said it designs, delivers and supports digital signage solutions intended to be easy-to-use and to transform the way clients do business.

"The information ITS gives our manufacturing teams helps keep them on task and on budget," said Mike Pasquarelli, Nekoosa Holdings Inc.'s senior systems administrator. Nekoosa is an expanding manufacturing firm with four companies and multiple facilities. "We installed ITS' Corporate Communications Display System to visibly communicate production metrics and company information to our manufacturing teams throughout our shop floor areas in three buildings. The system shows our teams metrics on their manufacturing progress, products and material use in real time to keep our output and deliverables on schedule."

ITS designed Nekoosa's corporate display system, customized the software and graphics, and implemented multiple display sites from a central location for flexibility and ease of use. The ITS displays draw data from Nekoosa's central SQL manufacturing database and formats it for clear communication to company staff.

Headquartered in Nekoosa, Wisconsin, Nekoosa Holdings Inc. operates RTape, CET Films, Nekoosa Coated Products and Main Tape and produces an expanding line of specialty products that include industrial and specialty films, tapes and coatings.

The system's displayed metrics are automatically updated from our SQL database in real time and controlled by a production manager. In addition to production data, Nekoosa announces company meetings, provides human resources information and other information to its teams.

"We use 10 ITS displays throughout three buildings and will add eight more displays in our newest building," Pasquarelli said. "The ITS system has definitely proved its value since we installed it."
