A SHORT INTRODUCTION

Driven by the growing demand for non-standard products, and the creative challenges of maximizing the benefits and opportunities of LED technology in architecture and lighting design, VML-Technologies focuses on providing "custom solutions" for LED based, high-end, outdoor, bespoke media facades and "creative lighting" installations, based on the proven Lattice technology platform. In close cooperation with clients, architects, video and lighting designers and construction engineers, ideas and concepts are translated into high quality LED based products and installations.

VML-Technologies products are sold, installed and maintained by our network of qualified partners. VML-Technologies was founded in 2008. The founders have been involved in the LED displays and creative lighting market since the early nineties, during which time they have amassed an invaluable amount of experience in the design, manufacture and installation of LED display and Media Façade projects.

The founders have their roots in business management and consultancy projects for LED technology companies such as Philips Electronics, Nichia, HP, Cree in addition to working on hundreds of projects worldwide including for example the O2 Arena in London UK, the 2006 FIFA "fanfest" event, the CNN Center in Atlanta USA, the Taipei Arena in Taiwan, the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam and Mercury City Tower, Moscow.

THE PROPRIETARY LATTICE^TMTECHNOLOGY PLATFORM ALLOWS VML-TECHNOLOGIES TO CUSTOM DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE UNIQUE LED PRODUCTS

The Lattice^TM technology platform offers the necessary building blocks that allow VML-Technologies to design products to the exact requirements of an individual project. The aesthetic appearance of the Lattice^TM S-series of LED strips makes it popular for visible integration on the exterior or interior of building facades, and other structures. The flexible D-Series of individual LED pixel dots is the ideal platform for creating displays on very large or unusual shaped 3-D facades. The M-series of LED matrices form a platform which enables the design of high-resolution creative architectural displays without the many disadvantages, such as weight and depth, associated with traditional LED display panels.

This wide range of Lattice^TM products provides an ideal platform from which to configure any design of LED Media Façade, Mediatecture or LED lighting project. The Lattice^TM range of LED products gives our clients complete flexibility of design. All VML-Technologies products feature exceptional power efficiency, high-brightness, wide viewing angles, high transparency ratios, long lifetime, superb image quality and light weight.

THE VML-LAB SHOWCASES A CONSTANTLY CHANGING RANGE OF MOCK-UPS OF UNIQUE LED MEDIA FAÇADE AND LED MEDIATECTURE SOLUTIONS

To facilitate the growing demand for product demonstrations VML-Technologies has created the VML-Lab in The Netherlands where a range of full scale media façade mock-ups and applications create a demonstration workspace for clients and consultants to explore new and innovative architectural solutions. The VML-Lab has become a breeding ground for architects, lighting designers and construction engineers to jointly identify the right solution for their projects and see first hand what can be achieved using a number of different custom LED display and creative lighting applications working in full scale mock-up demonstrations.

The VML-Lab is based in Eindhoven, the hi-tech region of The Netherlands, in a uniquely converted industrial building which is over 100 years old and is protected under Dutch environmental laws.

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

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.
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 Lattice^TM 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 Lattice^TM 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.
