There is no one‑size‑fits‑all answer to this question, because it depends on four key variables. Let us break it down honestly for you.
The timeline for a custom‑built engineering screen typically consists of four phases:
1. Design Confirmation (1–3 days):
Our engineers design the cabinet specifications, resolution, and steel‑structure drawings based on the installation site’s dimensions, viewing distance, and structural conditions. These are then reviewed and confirmed with the client.
2. Material Sourcing & Production (10–20 days):
Based on the approved design, we procure the LED panels, driver ICs, power supplies, and cabinet materials. This is followed by SMT assembly, cabinet integration, and preliminary testing. This phase is the longest in the entire process.
3. Logistics & Shipping (2–5 days):
This depends on the project location and shipping method chosen.
4. On‑Site Installation & Commissioning (3–10 days):
This includes steel‑structure installation, cabinet assembly, signal calibration, and full‑system integration. The duration varies with the total area and installation complexity.
Taking all factors into account, a medium‑sized custom‑built engineering screen project typically takes 20 to 35 days from contract signing to final operational status.
