A new scoreboard system was upgraded for Nivala Ice Hall by Jidoka. A striking LED scoreboard was installed for the public, along with separate, more detailed screens for the players. 

The new scoreboard solution brings a clear and easily followable view of game situations, time, and other event information to matches. With Jidoka's picture-in-picture function for scoreboards, in addition to the game situation, various images and videos can be displayed centrally on the screen as needed. 

A smaller screen for players improves information visibility for the substitutes' bench, making it easier for the team to stay up to date with the match situation. In addition, a screen was installed on the dressing room wall to facilitate matches during intermissions. 

An NDI integration was also implemented into the existing information display system, enabling flexible content management and efficient utilisation of different screens in the hall environment. 

The Nivala ice rink has undergone a modern transformation with a new scoreboard system. Now, ice rink users can enjoy completely new and memorable match experiences. 

Located in Korso, Vantaa Lumon monitoimikeskus (Multifunctional Centre) was built in 2003. The multipurpose hall is part of the complex, and it hosts events for various indoor sports and concerts.

Lumon liikuntahalli (sports hall) display was connected to Jidoka's scoreboard system technology and software, and in addition, shot clocks were installed above the basketball hoops. LED light frames were also attached to the backboards, indicating the remaining attack time with yellow and red colours.

The renewed scoreboard system offers a wide range of sports, including basketball, volleyball, and floorball. The system quickly adapts to the needs of different sports, making it an excellent solution for multi-purpose hall use.

The overall system makes following matches clearer and smoother. This makes the implementation functional for both players and the audience, and gives events a more professional appearance. The screen can also be used to announce upcoming events and other current information.

Located in Sastamala, Vexve Areena is a hall owned by the Sasky-koulutuskuntayhtymä, suitable for playing sports such as volleyball, basketball, floorball and futsal. The hall also serves as the home ground for the men's volleyball league team VaLePa.

A 12-square-metre LED scoreboard has been delivered to the Arena Sports Hall, making it even easier to follow games. Thanks to its wide range of sports, the system adapts flexibly and easily to every sport.

The investment in a new scoreboard will bring match events into a new era, enabling the arena to better meet the demands of both elite athletes and hobbyists.

Nivalan Monitoimihalli (Multi-purpose Hall) is a hub for various events, culture, and sports, completed in 2023. The multi-purpose arena has regulation-sized playing fields for sports such as volleyball, basketball, floorball, futsal, and badminton.

We installed a large scoreboard, approximately 20 square metres, along with shot clocks above the baskets in the still unfinished hall. Thanks to the modern system, the hall's three existing smaller displays were integrated into the overall setup. The scoreboard system can also be controlled flexibly when the space is divided into different sections.

In addition to match results, displays can be effectively utilised for digital advertising.

Jidoka implemented a scoreboard for Jyväskylä's new Pesäpallo stadium Hippos (Finnish baseball stadium). The stadium, which opened in the summer of 2023, has up to 1850 covered spectator seats. Both junior and adult representative teams play at the stadium, but the main users are Jyväskylän Kiri and Kirittäret.  

The large 22 m² scoreboard ensures visibility across the entire stadium, and the screen's resolution supports smooth following of the match situation. The clear and bright display allows for the effective presentation of game situations, results, and other event content to all spectators. A protective net was installed in front of the scoreboard to cushion balls directed towards the screen, thus keeping the screen protected from damage.  

Hippos' new results board solution complements the stadium's modern facilities and offers a reliable package for both sports events and other occasions held at the stadium.

Järvenpään keskusurheilukenttä (central sports field) is a busy athletics stadium offering excellent and diverse facilities for sports enthusiasts and competitive activities alike. The central sports field has been equipped with a new digital scoreboard from Jidoka, which supports the active and varied use of the field. 

The screen size is 22 m² and its resolution is P10, which allows for clear and easily readable content for all areas of the stadium. The solution is particularly suitable for football matches, where real-time information, such as the game situation and time, plays a key role. 

A modern scoreboard adds value to the events in the arena by offering the opportunity to display visually impressive content during the game in addition to the scores, such as sponsor advertisements. Outside of games, there are also versatile opportunities to display all kinds of media files. This makes the arena an even more versatile event venue and increases its impact both during and outside of games. 

The Tikkurilan Kuljetusrinki (Transport Ring Arena), located in the Tikkurilan urheilupuisto (Sports Park) in Vantaa, has been equipped with a brand-new scoreboard system from Jidoka. The arena is a versatile ice sports centre that hosts a wide range of matches and events at various levels, including the Mestis league. The hall is home to Kiekko Vantaa.

The ice rink's centre-hung scoreboard was in need of an upgrade, so we delivered a scoreboarding system designed for ice hockey to the existing centre-hung scoreboard. The updated system allows for clear and real-time presentation of match data, as well as flexible content management for the needs of various events. 

A WiseHockey integration was implemented into the system, enabling real-time synchronisation of the match status and clock with WiseHockey. The match status is continuously forwarded, ensuring the data and scoreboard remain in sync. In addition, an integration for the Finnish Ice Hockey Federation (SJL) has also been brought into the system, through which match-related information, such as line-ups and player lists, can be obtained.  

As an innovative addition, AI-based announcements were created, meaning the system automatically generates announcement text from events and repeats it as speech. The announcements work with SJL data so that the announcements contain the correct player information. AI-based announcements can automate part of the match event's communication and provide fast and consistent announcements. 

The ice rink changing rooms also received a total of 7 changing room screens, which can be used to display game schedules and other important information for teams and officials. In addition, a separate screen was installed for the field staff, which provides a centralised view of the status of both Rink 1 and Rink 2. This makes it easy to, for example, monitor the progress of matches being played simultaneously in both rinks. 

Äänekoski gets an innovative scoreboard system for its ice rink

Jidoka has installed a multi-display system in the new  Äänekosken Jäähalli (Ice Rink). 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.

New Finnish baseball scoreboard for Rauma, TopTeam Arena – Jidoka's easy to use scoreboard system . 

In Rauma, Finnish baseball (pesäpallo) is played at the Otanlahti pesäpallostadioni (baseball stadium)by Fera's women’s team in the top-tier Superpesis league, as well as by hobbyists and juniors of all ages. The scoreboard's advantage is that the same features from the entire scoreboard are available for every user group. Nevertheless, usage remains easy and control is immediate. At the same time, other features, such as displaying advertisements and various video files, can be removed or enabled without significantly changing usability. Once the match event is over, the screen returns to advertisement & information mode; the advertising content can be updated via the cloud from anywhere. 

The advertisements on the centre of the scoreboard offer viewers further information about the sports clubs' sponsors. The display can be used versatilely, as after the match, its entire surface area functions as an advertising space. The display enables the visualisation of various situations for customers, such as running race starts, bases loaded, and home run videos by easily playing them from a list. All controlled by a single operator.

Energy-saving features have been implemented by Jidoka tailoring optimal brightness levels for the display, ensuring it's at an appropriate brightness in all weather conditions. This has also been communicated and considered for customers regarding advertising materials, as well as the display's appearance, favouring darker colours. The scoreboard is also timed to be off during certain hours, thus saving electricity during quieter periods.

The best is done together 

The decision was made to place the scoreboard near third base, ensuring the display is at a suitable distance from the stands, players, and spectators. The long length of the baseball field causes many headaches. A display in the outfield would require a truly large surface area for the visibility to be as good as it is now. 

The screen is also protected from balls that might come towards it directly or indirectly. The protective netting catches the biggest bounces, so the balls do not reach the screen. 

Listening to customers 

The scoreboard display was further customised to be even more functional for the baseball stadium, listening to the client's needs. The end result received praise from the clients: 

”The scoreboard looks good. The fantastic videos we made were shown at the last match, and judging by the crowd's reaction, they were seen too!” 

”Our initial impression is that we received the desired solution; the scoreboard section is user-friendly and clear to view, and the stand/board structures look good and feel high-quality. You had even managed to add a protective net, which is great! The installation and delivery went as agreed.” 

After the scoreboard system has been installed, the scoreboard is under 24/7 remote monitoring, enabling customers to be assisted as quickly as possible in various situations. It's easy to be satisfied after a spectacular and modern scoreboard delivery.
