SOME OF THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE

CONSULTANCY AND TENDER SPECIFICATION

VML-Technologies are regularly commissioned by clients involved in the various stages of development of LED Media Façade and Mediatecure projects, including architects, lighting designers and end-users. Our extensive experience amassed over many years and projects enables us to provide expert consultancy. VML have the experience to translate initial project thoughts into firm functional and technical specifications.

DESIGN AND CONCEPTUALIZATION

VML-Technologies start with an open mind and a blank sheet of paper when clients introduce and explain their initial ideas. Step-by-step, together with our clients, we start to translate thoughts into an actual product design and visualize the proposed solution for the specific project carefully taking into consideration both optical and constructional conditions. The constructional conditions and restrictions need very careful evaluation since they, to a large extent, determine the required custom design in terms of product shape, form and dimension.

PROTOTYPES AND MOCK-UPS

In order to realise a successful project, many different elements must seamlessly blend together. Since most projects are large and involve significant budgets, clients need to evaluate all aspects of the project prior to the actual order and installation. VML provide quick prototyping services to facilitate the configuration of a realistic mock-up to allow architects and contractors to check that all elements match and fit together correctly. Prototyping is an essential and valuable service which allows detailed design proving, certification and performance evaluation of custom designed products prior to volume manufacturing.

ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Once the project design is agreed upon and thoroughly evaluated versus the specific structural and optical requirements, the actual detailed electrical and mechanical engineering can begin. Based on the LatticeTM technology platform the required LED product is easily engineered. The final mechanical design is carefully discussed and evaluated with architects and structural engineers in order to guarantee a proper fit. In parallel the necessary premium quality components are carefully selected in order to match the specific product design criteria (for example for water and dust ingress, heat, brightness, etc…)

MANUFACTURING AND CERTIFICATION

All VML-Technologies products are designed and manufactured using premium quality components capable of operating in the harshest outdoor environmental conditions. VML products are engineered to bring out the best in state of the art LED technology and all of our products are designed for a very long working lifetime, with minimal cost of ownership. Our products can withstand wide temperature ranges, the harshest levels of solar UV radiation, and the most extreme weather conditions due to our true IP66 ingress protection rating. All VML LatticeTM products comply with internationally recognized standards.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

Depending on the installation logistics of a specific project, VML-Technologies might pre-assemble, pre-wire and test system elements “off-site” in The Netherlands. All local on-site installation activities are executed and coordinated by a local, authorised, VML-Technologies integration and installation partner. A designated VML project engineer will provide support and guidance to the local partners and will be present at critical times such as during final system commission.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

VML-Technologies work closely with a network of qualified local partners for installation, service and maintenance. Our well trained and experienced service partners provide 1st and 2nd line service support and provide annual preventive maintenance services. Via our network of local partners we take care of our clients in their own time-zone and can provide a quick response and on-site support depending on the exact Service Level Agreement made. Local service partners are supported from the VML headquarters in The Netherlands for 3rd level service issues and spare parts management.

Products

  • LED STRIPS

    THE LATTICE™ S-SERIES: A VERSATILE RANGE OF LED STRIPS AND LED LOUVERS
    The aesthetic appearance of the LatticeTM S-series of LED strips makes it popular for visible integration on the exterior or interior of building façades, and other structures. The LatticeTM S-series is a range of rigid LED video strips with an aluminium base, ideal for creating large scale lighting and video display areas on building façades, either for daytime or night-time applications. The strips require limited additional mounting structure and perfectly facilitate curved or fragmented architectural displays. The S-series is typically used for media façades with a pixel pitch ranging from 35 to 100mm. Although the S-series is daylight visible, highly transparent and able to withstand harsh outdoor conditions for many years, the S-series is also easily customizable for less demanding applications such as transparent interior installations.
  • LED PIXELS

    THE LATTICE™ D-SERIES: THE FLEXIBILITY OF LED PIXELS AND LED DOTS
    The LatticeTM D-series of individual LED pixel dots is the ideal product for creating a Media Façade with lower resolution on very unusual shaped 3-D surfaces. The LatticeTM D-series are flexible strings of LED pixel dots of varying lengths, brightness and pixel pitch, designed for easy integration into three dimensional and odd shaped facades, enabling the creation of complex displays and lighting effects. The D-series is typically used for exterior and interior facades with a display pixel pitch ranging from 100-500mm and higher. The D-series can be mounted onto, or seamlessly integrated with, the fabric of the façade. Although the D-series is also designed to operate under harsh outdoor conditions for many years in permanent installations, the D-series is also easily customizable for less demanding interior applications. The flexibility of the D-series makes it an ideal solution for true integration within ceilings, walls and other more complex 3D surfaces.
  • LED MATRICES

    THE LATTICE™ M-SERIES: THE POWER OF CUSTOM LED MATRICES
    The LatticeTM M-series of LED matrices provides an effective solution to the design of high-resolution creative architectural displays with many advantages, such as flexible shape and size, low weight, high transparency and slim depth, versus traditional LED display panels. The M-series products also feature low-power consumption, are easy to install and are the ideal platform for creating either continuous or non-continuous high-resolution, transparent display areas for the display of high res images and video at relatively close viewing distances. The M-series are designed into every required resolution and are available for exterior or interior applications.

    AT THE HEART OF EVERY VML MEDIA FAÇADE SOLUTION IS THE POWERFUL LATTICE™ PICTUREBOX
    At the heart of every VML Media Façade solution is the powerful LatticeTM Picturebox control system providing users with total control over their architectural LED display or lighting scheme. The Picturebox system can control very large and demanding Media Façade systems comprising large numbers of individually controllable pixels or light dots. The LIGHTBOX is geared for the control of less demanding installations, delivering graphic content and lighting effects with the ability to operate in "stand-alone" mode via a pre-programmed compact flash card. An optional component of the system is the VPX video processor, which builds on the wealth of experience within VML-Technologies of high quality video solutions, supporting a wide range of video inputs and full image scaling capabilities.
    Together with the easy to use Pixel-Mapper software, display configurations from the simple to the very complex are easily realized. The Picturebox and the LIGHTBOX control systems can be remotely controlled via the internet, and can provide complex scheduling and content delivery.
