The smart electronic signpost is a new type of smart identifier based on smart poles. It is a revolutionary product combining mechanical engineering and the Internet, and a star product for next‑generation public guidance and brand display. It is mainly suitable for application scenarios such as communities, industrial parks, scenic areas, and commercial districts. Below, let’s discuss some of the common unreliable people and practices often encountered in this industry:
1. Being abandoned by the client after providing free on‑site solution design
In the smart electronic signpost industry, companies often provide free on‑site solution design services to win projects. Technical staff will thoroughly understand the client’s requirements, including installation scenarios (urban communities, scenic areas, commercial parks, etc.), functional needs (real‑time navigation, information release, hand‑drawn maps, point layout, etc.), adaptation conditions (power supply method, network coverage, climate tolerance requirements, etc.), and then invest significant time and effort into designing the solution, covering signpost model selection, appearance design, point layout, hardware and software configuration, data interface compatibility, and overall system operation and maintenance planning.
However, some clients, after having the solution clearly worked out, will take these customized solutions to other suppliers to pressure them for lower prices. This behavior not only wastes the labor, material resources, and time costs of the company that provided the initial solution but also undermines fair competition in the industry. For the solution‑providing company, this can cause their early core creativity and efforts to be wasted, directly affecting their economic returns and market confidence.
2. Having the client choose another company after free drawings and design plans
The design of a smart electronic signpost system involves complex point planning, circuit layout, structural mechanics calculations, and hardware‑software adaptation, requiring professional drawing and design capabilities. Companies often, at the client’s request, provide free detailed drawings and complete design plans, clearly showing the installation point distribution diagram, internal structure diagram of the equipment, circuit connection schematic, functional module flow chart, and parameter configuration standards, etc.
