Smart-e specialises in the design and manufacture of high quality switching and distribution equipment for a wide range of applications including corporate communication, interactive learning, digital signage, marine, entertainment and security/monitoring. Their solution-based approach means that Smart-e is constantly looking for ways to add value for their customers and make it easier to integrate Smart-e products into their designs. Standardizing on Stardraw's SD7 to provide free block schematic installation and maintenance diagrams complete with full wiring configurations and input/output connections is a key part of this process.
Smart-e products are stored in the Stardaw.com data library which can be accessed by users of the Stardraw Design 7 software to create system drawings and associated documentation. For those without access to the software and/or requiring system design assistance, Smart-e's technical team will discuss and incorporate all the elements of the specification, including equipment from other manufacturers, to create a wiring diagram, free of charge.
As Jon Lane, Smart-e's managing director says, "An installer armed with accurate system drawings gives their customers a clear and easily digestible overview that could make all the difference to winning the business. And once installation is complete, the drawing provides a great reference source for future upgrades and maintenance."
"This is a clever strategic move on behalf of Smart-e," comments Stardraw.com's Rob Robinson. "They have armed themselves with the best tool on the market for AV system design and documentation, and by offering the block schematic service free to their customers, they are ensuring that those clients who don't already own SD7 are able to provide the same top quality documentation for their projects.
"For clients who do own the software, Smart-e products are available in our libraries for integration into their projects, and the designs provided by Smart-e can easily be extended to provide Rack Layout drawings, presentations, Plan View layouts and other critical project documentation. Everybody wins."
