5 Critical Questions to Ask Before Choosing Your MPCB Display Board Manufacturer
You've received the notice, you understand the NGT & CPCB mandates – you need an MPCB-compliant digital display board. But with several vendors in the market, how do you choose the right partner? Buying a display board isn't just about ticking a box; it's about investing in reliable compliance, durability, and support.
Asking the right questions upfront can save you from costly mistakes, rejected installations, and future headaches. Here are 5 critical questions to ask any potential MPCB display board manufacturer.

The 5 Essential Questions:
-
Is Your Board 100% Compliant with CPCB Annexure-I & MPCB Formats?
This is non-negotiable. Some suppliers offer generic LED boards, but MPCB/CPCB has specific format requirements (Annexure-I). Ask for proof or examples of boards they've installed that have passed MPCB inspections. Can they guarantee the layout matches the latest CPCB display board format?
Sathicorp's Answer: Yes. All our boards are pre-configured to the latest CPCB Annexure-I and MPCB guidelines, verified across 200+ installations. We help you design the consent layout. Learn more about the format here. -
What Data Integration Options Do You Support (OCEMS, SCADA, Modbus, etc.)?
How will data get onto the board? You need flexibility. Does the board support real-time data via OCEMS? Can it integrate with your existing SCADA or PLC systems using Modbus/RS485? Does it allow for easy manual updates via USB/Excel as a backup? Ensure their solution fits your infrastructure.
Sathicorp's Answer: We support it all – OCEMS, SCADA, Modbus, RS485, API, and simple manual uploads. We ensure seamless integration for real-time pollution monitoring display. -
How Durable and Weatherproof is the Outdoor Display?
This board lives outside, facing sun, rain, and dust. Ask about the LED quality (e.g., Nationstar), brightness levels (NITS – crucial for sunlight visibility), and the IP (Ingress Protection) rating for weatherproofing (aim for IP65 or higher). Is the mounting structure wind-certified and robust?
Sathicorp's Answer: We use high-brightness (5000+ NITS), outdoor environmental display LEDs with high IP ratings. Our MS structures are wind-load certified for maximum safety and longevity. -
What Warranty and Long-Term Support (AMC/CMC) Do You Offer?
A display board is an investment. What happens if it fails? Look for a solid MPCB display board warranty (1-3 years is standard). More importantly, ask about post-warranty support through Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) or Comprehensive Maintenance Contracts (CMC). Reliable support is vital.
Sathicorp's Answer: We offer a standard 3-Year Warranty on our boards, along with flexible and responsive AMC/CMC options for continued peace of mind. -
What is Your Installation Experience & Turnaround Time?
How many industrial LED displays have they actually installed in places like Pune or other MIDC areas? Can they show you examples? How quickly can they deliver and install? A quick, hassle-free installation (including civil work if needed) minimizes disruption.
Sathicorp's Answer: With 200+ installations across India (many in Maharashtra), we have extensive experience. We typically install within 1-2 working days.
