Well, we are back from Louisville, home of the Colonel. Our demonstration with our partner, Rich Ventura of NEC Display Solutions for KFC went fantastic! They were very impressed with our QSR (quick serve restaurant) menu board enclosure solution and have decided to do a trial in Louisville within the next couple of weeks! Take a look at some of the pictures below.

We are very encouraged by our success thus far with the QSR enclosure and looking toward more success in the very near future! Next visit to our friends at Gerresheimer Glass!

Well the install is done! The enclosures look great and when the renovated Arby's store in Atlanta opens on December 1 things should look fantastic! We had our challenges on this install but ITS Production Manager, Shannon Roberts was instrumental in helping the project move along and the install got completed correctly and on time. Pictures below show some of the story...

Thanks to everyone on the jobsite that put in the extra time to get these enclosures installed right! We look forward to working with our partner, Rich Ventura of NEC Display Solutions in our efforts with further quick serve restuarant enclosure installations!

Well, they are ready to go! We have finally finished the enclosures for our first quick serve restaurant customer. Working with our partner, NEC Display Solutions, we will be traveling to oversee the installation in Atlanta next week. Can't wait to see the customer's reaction to our new design...Some pictures of the units just before shipping below.

Can't wait to update all of you on the install...I'll have plenty of pictures for you to review...until then...

Well a busy early fall and a bit of travel and suddenly it has been a while since I updated my posts...sorry about that. Recent travels have taken me a few places; the Boston area, New York, Harrisburg and even lovely Altoona, PA.

I made visits to Joseph's Gourment Pasta (a division of Nestle) and saw how they have implemented our outstanding IS73 design. We are working with them during renovation to install a number of additional enclosures. Take a look at this pick of our IS73 design for them...a handsome industrial application if I do say so myself!

I also had an opportunity to look in on our work in progress on the SkyTrain at JFK Airport in New York. We have been helping our partner IK Systems and the NYNJ Port Authority to protect the new flat panel displays at the various stops on the airport SkyTrain. These particular pictures are from Jamaica Station. There are many more to come!

We also received an update from our friend Ryan Cahoy of our partner Rise Display on the Arrowhead Stadium install in Kansas City...visit the following link for updated information and pics on the install http://www.risedisplay.com/blog/outdoor_enclosures_improve_the_game_day_experience/ Game day action on a protected LCD in the concourse area...can there be anything so beautiful? Sorry, I get emotional when LCD's look good and are well protected from the elements.

Well until next time....keep your screens clean, dry and protected!

Football stadiums galore!

Well it has been a busy week! As promised from my last blog post I have pictures from our two most recent stadium opportunities. On Monday I visited Beaver Stadium, home of the Penn State Nittany Lions, to check out one of our latest installations in progress! What a fantastic application for those sitting below the South endzone overhang. They are obstructed from seeing the scoreboard which precludes this section of fans from seeing instant replay as well as down, distance and out of town scores just to name a few things. This application of two 32" ViewStation enclosures will now provide live game feed along with pertinent scoreboard information throughout the game. Working with our partners, Jeff Schaffer and Geoff Scheaffer from Stahl Scheaffer Engineering and Jason Smith from Penn State ViewStation was able to provide an outstanding side by side solution with custom mounting to ensure performance through rainy falls, harsh winters and touchdown celebrations when the cantilevered overhang starts rockin'. Check some of the in progress pictures above...We should have some finished pictures within the next couple of weeks, stay tuned!

I also made a trip to Kansas City to visit the home of the Chiefs, Arrowhead Stadium. What an outstanding facility! I had the opportunity to work with our partners, Rise Display and Mark One Electric on this installation. When the Chiefs worked out a promotional deal with Sony they needed to have a way to protect the displays to ensure long life. Sony suggested ViewStation from positive experiences on various projects which we have worked in the past. We always appreciate an opportunity and we ran with this one! Rise Display is providing content assistance while Mark One is the "hands on" electrical contractor for the stadium renovation. As you can see from the pictures below this is an outstanding application for the ViewStation enclosures! Great protection providing long life and my, they look good too!

We had a great visit to see some of our handy work at the new Dayton RTA bus terminal in downtown Dayton, OH. As you can see in the picture on the left Tyla Wightman of our integration partner, Sign Dynamics is admiring the outstanding ViewStation application with myself and J.T. Spangler. Not only was this one of the very best applications of the ViewStation enclosure line but also the most beautiful and functional bus terminal I had ever visited. As you will see in the picture above (center) there are pots with evergreen plants, radiant heaters for the cold winters in Dayton and a wonderful arching roof to protect patrons from the summer heat. Along with the ticket center and retail shops across the stree in the main RTA building this is hands down one of the finest pieces of urban architecture I have seen in quite some time!

We were very pleased to have the opportunity to work with Tyla Wightman of Sign Dynamics and their partners in the completion of this project. With cooperation by all we were able to get these aesthetically pleasing and functional signs in place for the grand opening on Saturday, August 15th. It is always gratifying to deliver an effective product to our customers but it is even better to deliver a beautiful product as well.

Please follow my postings as I will be visiting our new installs at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City and Beaver Stadium at Penn State over the next 10 days! More pics to come!

Well, I am very proud to announce that ITSENCLOSURES has landed two very high profile projects with our ViewStation enclosure products! We have been chosen to provide enclosures for both Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs and Beaver Stadium, home of the Penn State Nittany Lions! These two projects represent a further advancement into the stadium market for the ViewStation product line. We already have ViewStation enclosures installed at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago, Citi-Field in New York, Minute Maid Park in Houston and Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles just to name a few.

Kansas City is looking to protect the new Sony displays they are installing for the upcoming season. Our partner Rise Display has been invaluable in assisting us with our work on this project. Gus Rodriguez and Alan Clayton have spear headed this project from the local standpoint and have been a great help every step of the way. The Penn State install is to provide fans under the west end zone overhang a view of scoreboard information and instant replay with 11 sets of side by side 32" enclosures. Jeff and Geoff of Stahl Sheaffer Engineering were instrumental with their research of enclosures and full understanding of the engineering implications for this project. We thank both of our partners from these projects! I also want to commend the production shop crew; Production Manager Shannon Roberts and his staff, Joe, John, Art and Brandon have worked extra hard to keep these projects on schedule!

As you can see above there are several pictures of the guys in the production shop working hard to get these projects out on time. Check out the Penn State blue on those enclosures, they are going to look very sharp!

Keep an eye out for my next post as I will have pictures of both installations for your review.
