Äänekoski gets an innovative scoreboard system for its ice rink
Jidoka has installed a multi-display system in the new To Äänekoski Ice Hall. As a result of development work, one of the world's most energy-efficient ice rinks earned an innovative scoreboard system. The new technology enables communication and advertising to the ice rink's audience and other arriving visitors.
An innovative scoreboard system transforms to perfectly suit any sport and event. During matches and competitions, all on-screen elements adapt to each sport, while outside of sporting events, the LED display surfaces show advertisements according to set schedules.
Controlling the displays is possible with any touchscreen, and anyone can learn to use the system in an instant.
In addition to scoreboards, the ice rink's name sign is also digital. This allows, for example, for the hall's name to be sold or for moving elements to be used on the light sign.
Overall, the installations went smoothly. In a challenging installation environment, the use of the ice rink was taken into consideration to minimise disruption for the ice rink users. Jidoka has also provided support and updated the scoreboard functions based on feedback after the installation.
In Äänekoski, digitisation has been taken at a stroke to the level it deserves.
