Electro-Matic Visual gives Kentwood Church New Outdoor LED Display
Kentwood Baptist Church had its beginnings as a Sunday school in the Smith School on Wing Avenue in 1864. It was officially organized on April 1, 1869 with twenty-nine members. The group met in the school and homes until 1880 when land was purchased and a brick building constructed on the present corner of 52nd Street and Breton Avenue. On July 19, 1967 the church voted to change the name of the church to Kentwood Baptist Church and two years later a new addition was added onto the building. Today, KBC still points people to the Savior, encourages believers in their Christian lives, and welcomes visitors to worship with us.

Photographing your LED sign is not the easiest of tasks. It looks good in person, but you might not know exactly how to photograph your LED sign perfectly. Camera lenses don’t reflect and pick up light the way our eyes do and that’s why some pictures don’t come out the way you hoped.

Downtime is a serious threat to any manufacturing business. One of the most dreaded scenarios within a manufacturing plant is that if one area backs up, it can have a snowball effect on other areas waiting for the completion of prior processes to deliver parts to them. The old saying “time is money” is very true in these manufacturing plant situations. The longer amount of time it takes to complete processes and finish products, the more money it costs to get those products out the door. When you reduce downtime in manufacturing and the amount of time that people or machines are idle, it will be more efficient for the business’s bottom line. Learn how to improve manufacturing efficiency and downtime with the nine tips below:

LED Displays from Electro-Matic Help Church see Immediate Results
St. Blasé Catholic Church in Sterling Heights, MI utilizes LED displays to announce church and community events
St. Blasé Catholic Church is a welcoming Catholic community, located in Sterling Heights, MI.
The Situation
Located at the high-traffic, high-visibility location at the intersection of 15 Mile Road and Maple Lane Drive in Sterling Heights, MI, St. Blasé Catholic Church wanted to maximize its ability to reach out to the community via new LED signage. The existing sign, a simple brick wall with white plastic formed lettering, didn’t afford them this capability.
The original brick wall with plastic-formed lettering offered no ability to advertise or announce events to the local community.
Objective
St. Blasé wished to have a simple, user-friendly LED signage solution that offered durability, longevity, and flexibility in the type of content media they wished to display.
Solution
Two full-color LED displays were installed into the new v-shape monument sign just two weeks after the project broke ground.
St. Blasé saw immediate results in the days following the installation of the parish’s new LED displays. On average, the church received 3-4 calls per day from people within the community interested in taking part in church events and services.
"Many of our parishioners are proud to say we are the Church with the big new sign, we are definitely getting noticed."
— Tim Doppel, Business Manager, St. Blasé Catholic Church
