Case study
Electrolux, a world-leading manufacturer in household appliances, realized that with the aid of 3D stereo and ultra-high resolution display technology, it could trim down design costs, speed time to market and improve collaboration in their Southern European headquarters. As such, Electrolux and integrator Cadland settled on two Barco systems. The first display wall offers a 5m wide collaboration canvas with a native 1080p HD resolution. On the wall, several 2D and 3D product design sources can be displayed and analyzed at the same time. The second display wall, which boasts a 3.4m screen width, is piloted by Barco's native 10 megapixel projector and allows engineers to display product designs in razor-sharp, photorealistic detail. “Thanks to Barco's display technology and collaboration software, we're able to kill two birds with one stone,” explains Thomas Johansson, Design Director for Major Appliances Europe, “On the one hand, they offer the sense of realism needed to accurately predict the look and feel of our products – in 3D as well as 2D. On the other hand, their XDS software makes it extremely easy for our teams to improve their collaboration and speed up decision-making.”
