Oslo Airport uses signage for security

Oslo Airport has installled a digital signage netwok consisting of 17 screens and three channels to communicate information about updated security regulations to passengers and employees. Screens featuring custom content are placed before the airport's main security checkpoints and a separate employee checkpoint.

After noticing confusion among travellers about changing security regulations, the airport staff sought out a better way to communicate this information.

Digital signage company Ferd Consulting AS (Oslo) installed the system and suggested Scala software to power the network because it would give airport staff the ability to simultaneously schedule different messages on multiple screens.

Ferd coordinated the setup and installation of 14 Samsung screens in front of the security checkpoint. Four of those screens feature content about new regulations. They are located near tables so travellers can reorganise their hand luggage to comply with the regulations. Three separate screens and a different channel are reserved for employees using the staff security checkpoint, allowing management to communicate additional information internally.
