A poorly kept LED display with no maintenance will have a significantly lower lifespan than one that has regular maintenance. A good comparison is that a LED display is just like a Car, every so often you have to go in for a Tune-up. DCI’s maintenance program makes sure that all units are well within the optimum standards of working condition during its lifespan.

Sign Design Services

Engineered Drawing

In this option, Datatronic Control’s Design Group engineers technical drawings with DCI’s LED display included. These drawings contain measurements of DCI’s LED display as well as measurements for the sign structure. All sizes are met according to the customer’s specifications. These drawings may or may not be used in the actual production of the sign unit.

LED Sign Representation

In a LED Sign Representation, a photograph is taken of where the desired future sign is to be located. Then a measurement of some item close to the proximity of where the sign is to be located is measured. The picture and the measurement are then sent to the DCI design group and an estimated representation of what the sign purchased would look like is placed within the photograph. This option is commonly used to give the customer a view of what different sign sizes will look like before they order. Most commonly photographs are used with static pictures, but DCI’s design group can show moving video in the photograph should the situation call for it.

Identification Sign Design

These types of signs are normally static displays that identify a company’s business. Customers will usually purchase an ID Sign along with an LED display unit to give their business a fresh new look. As a trend these signs are normally placed just above the LED display unit so as to provide a header for the advertisements the LED display presents. DCI’s design team has recognized this growing demand and has perfected its designs to include ID Sign Development. Should this option be elected, the customer will either provide DCI with the Artwork for the ID sign or Artwork will be created according to the customer’s specifications.
