With the aim of maximising potato quality and company efficiency, the new factory features robotics, artificial intelligence and other state-of-the-art tools. A large area has also been set aside as an events and meeting room, fitted with cutting-edge audiovisual technology solutions.
With advice from the integrator IMAGE SA21 and Charmex, the installation comprises a Traulux Qfix LED display, a Novastar VX1000 controller, Galil 6 ceiling speakers and Kramer PA-240Z power amplifiers.
The room has, and will have, many uses, from meetings with farmers and suppliers to live-streamed show-cooking sessions, as well as the usual corporate meetings and video conferences.
Eduardo Antolin, director of IMAGE SA21, stresses that the solution adds to Patatas Meléndez's corporate image by improving the quality and scale of both picture and sound. “The idea is for the room to be in regular use, rather than a decorative feature for the occasional event, and for it to be a useful tool for the factory staff”, he says.
Thanks to Traulux Qfix 2.5 LED panels, employees and attendees enjoy a large-scale display measuring 3.84 metres wide by 2.4 metres high, made up of 30 cabinets with no distracting seams, allowing striking presentations that help people communicate better.
All this, combined with its low power consumption and long service life of 100,000 hours, makes the Qfix LED display the ideal choice for a long-term investment.
The LED display uses Novastar's all-in-one VX1000 processor, which combines video processing and video control, with 10 Ethernet ports and the capacity to handle up to 6.5 million pixels, with a maximum output width and height of up to 10240 and 8192 pixels.
For the audio system, the Kramer range has been installed for both speakers and amplifiers, delivering clearer, more effective communication and improving not only the quality of interactions but also the productivity and success of the meetings and events held, thereby creating a more inclusive environment in which everyone has the chance to discuss their ideas regardless of where they are.
The ceiling speakers installed save space and blend in with the décor, giving uniform, balanced ambient sound.
A power amplifier with built-in DSP has also been added, allowing the sound to be customised and feedback and echo to be eliminated. This makes it possible to manage multiple zones and improve their energy efficiency.
To help the Patatas Meléndez technicians get the most out of the products, the integrator IMAGE SA21 provided personalised demonstrations and support from Charmex, both pre-sales and after-sales.
IMAGE also explains that “the integration went smoothly because Charmex had stock reserved and we were able to put up the LED display in just 3 days from the customer's confirmation".
For their part, users have rated the audiovisual solution highly both for its excellent look and for its adaptability, integration with their systems and ease of use.
“The IT department can configure different display layouts depending on the task at hand and even set them remotely, avoiding unnecessary trips around a very large factory, which matters a great deal to them because getting the new production halls up and running is, and should be, their priority”, explains Eduardo of IMAGE SA21.
