After several intense weeks or even months spent on planning your exhibition, your showroom, or your trade show appearance, the long-awaited installation is finally finished and ready for delivery. Now you probably think, \u201cTime to exhale!\u201d, to which we reply, \u201cSure, to gather your strength for the last round.\u201d Because especially when you\u2019re approaching the finish line, you should keep your cool lest the outcome of your hard labor be endangered by any transportation issues or problems in the installation of hardware or software. But don\u2019t you worry \u2013 in this article we sum up the most frequent and crucial pitfalls to help you eliminate them. And along with that, we also equip you with a useful checklist.<\/b><\/p>\n

Preparation is Everything: 4 Planning Steps to Safely Steer Clear of Notorious Tripping Hazards<\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Designate clear responsibilities for the required on-site services, tasks, and materials:
    \n<\/b>Which also means that both the ordering party (which means you\/your company) as well as the commissioned service provider should delegate their respective designated project managers to be present for the project\u2019s final completion. During on-site rollout, they can ensure a smooth and efficient interaction and interlock between all trades and work packages involved. In case of extensive interactive installations, employing an additional designated construction site manager is highly recommendable.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Already during conception<\/a>, define clear interfaces and intersections between individual processes and responsibilities:<\/b>
    \nTo what point exactly is the electrician supposed to prepare and install the power outlets and wiring necessary for light installation? What aspects does the dry-wall constructor need to keep in mind in order for the monitor wall later installed by the AV specialists to sit flush with the wall?<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Allow for ample power and network connections:<\/b>
    \nYou are probably familiar with this issue from your own home \u2013 now imagine it scaled up to the dimensions of an entire interactive exhibition. The same goes for physical tripping hazards: a safe and sound wiring concept includes power outlets recessed into the floor and a concealed electrical infrastructure and it facilitates the exhibition\u2019s possible later alteration and extension. In this concept, also technical components such as server-racks, access points, and switches find their right place \u2013 hidden and invisible to your visitors, but easy to access for servicing and maintenance professionals.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Perform testing BEFORE the rollout:
    \n<\/b>Save the surprises for your visitors. And only the pleasant ones. Judging from experience, during rollout everyone will be busy enough as it is without any avoidable \u201ctechnical bombshells\u201d dropping around them. You can avoid those by conducting pre-tests for all individual installations (multi-touch table, demonstrators, etc.) in a realistic environment (both in likely scenarios and under realistic circumstances). Make sure that you check in time: How does the projection look and work under the actual light conditions? Do the signal transmission cables really meet the desired specifications? Does the system\u2019s control and sync via network run smoothly and is it robust? And \u2026 you might have guessed already: the list by far does not end there, but writing down all eventualities simply goes beyond the scope of this article.

    Assembly and On-site Installation: A Checklist For The Site Project Manager<\/span><\/h2>\n

    1. Transportation and architectural\/constructional integration:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Typically, this step includes specialized external service providers installing, for instance, a monitor wall or a sound-system. Larger installations otherwise too unwieldy for transport first need to be assembled on site.<\/span><\/p>\n
