This month, we are sharing product improvements, infrastructure updates, and field insights. From better error handling to major website upgrades and industry conversations around security, here is what stood out in February.
Product updates
New and simplified Timer App
We released a new, simplified Timer App designed to do one thing well: count down clearly and reliably.
Perfect for meeting rooms, classrooms, production floors, and events where clarity matters more than complexity. You can try the app here.
New demo dashboards
We created new demo dashboards to better showcase real-world use cases. These dashboards make it easier to visualize how Screenly fits into environments like:
- Manufacturing KPI monitoring
- QA and QC dashboards
- Operational performance tracking
They are built to be practical, realistic, and easy to understand. You can try the app here.
Industry insights
This month, we shared two pieces exploring how digital signage should be treated as infrastructure, not just screens on walls.
Digital Signage for manufacturing
In manufacturing environments, screens often display key operational data that teams depend on. When this signage fails, the failure disrupts workflows, which can cost significant time and money. In our post, we explore why signage must be treated as critical infrastructure in the manufacturing sector.

Digital signage in hospitals is part of the trust boundary
In healthcare, signage communicates more than just information. It ifluences and affects team member, customer, and visitortrust. We discuss why digital signage in hospitals must be considered part of the security and trust boundary.

Digital Signage Operations Playbook #3
This month, we started a new weekly series, the Digital Signage Operations Playbook. Many thanks to Screenly team member Deanna Quirke!
The goal of this series is simply to share practical, field-tested insights from operating digital signage in real environments. From ownership challenges to troubleshooting workflows and security considerations, we are breaking down what actually matters in day-to-day operations.
Playbook #3 is now live → Digital Signage Operations Playbook #3
If you manage screens at scale, this series is for you.

That’s all for now
That’s it for this edition of Screenly Sync.
This month, we shared new product updates, demo dashboards, industry insights, and the lastes from our speaking circuit. We also continued exploring how digital signage fits into real world operational environments. In the coming months, we will keep expanding the Screenly ecosystem with new apps, integrations, and improvements across the platform.
Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for the next Screenly Sync!
