HR Strange But True

It’s OK if Your Workers Watch this Big-Screen TV

Why would you install a 90-inch big-screen TV on your plant floor?  Won’t workers just tune in to Sports Center or talk shows and be distracted?

No, according to a company that says more media in the factory actually increases collaboration, engagement, and production performance.

A big-screen TV can actually change how factory workers and management interact with each other and the machinery around them, according to a press release by Sage Clarity. The company is introducing a program called the Factory Media Center, which uses the giant TV to give employees real-time, “hyper” information on production performance.

The TV “immerses” the various production workers, managers, and engineers in information, allowing them to share breaking news of any safety or downtime problems—and solutions—in real time, and give performance metrics or predictions from previous hours and shifts or even different sites.

The TV also has Internet access, so that information can be shared with little effort. Even “factory Tweets” where workers share information can be shown.

Sage Clarity says the Factory Media Center increases both engagement and collaboration by allowing workers to see where they fit into the production process and how their performance affects results. And workers won’t even miss Sports Center!

  1. I think I’d need more support that the manufacturer. It’s hard to see how it wouldn’t, at the very least, be a safety risk–to say nothing of productivity and perhaps morale.

  2. I can see where this would be a huge benefit. Real time data and everyone knows where they stand with the production numbers instead of just the office. If you put a daily goal out the employees can see what they need to do to make the goal for the day.

  3. There are no any matter for the watching in big screen to worker. Through it they can work properly and can interact with each other. So my opinion is that, it is good for the organization.
