Layout automation system for modular signage

A proprietary system that generates layouts, production files and installation plans for repeatable signage modules. It cuts design time from hours to seconds while staying fully compliant with production rules.

Project narrative

Overview

The project covered the creation of a complete, modular layout automation system for signage, built to generate production documentation for retail chain signage. The system removes the repetitive work...

The architecture is modular — each module handles a separate function (layout, dimensioning, BOM, visualisation, export). This means the solution can be freely extended with new brands, sign types or...

Execution

The system reliably enforces production rules — from FRAME/ACM layouts to edge offsets and logo safe zones — and generates a complete file set in a matter of seconds. It also includes a dual calculation...

The system is driven by JSON configuration files that define the production rules for each brand (including SPAR, MACE and LONDIS). Each file holds defined values for:

Premise

Parametric logic instead of repetitive manual work

Architecture

A modular engine ready for additional brands

The architecture is modular — each module handles a separate function (layout, dimensioning, BOM, visualisation, export). This means the solution can be freely extended with new brands, sign types or processes, such as downstand dimensioning, generating...

Rules

Production constraints encoded in JSON and BOM logic

The system reliably enforces production rules — from FRAME/ACM layouts to edge offsets and logo safe zones — and generates a complete file set in a matter of seconds. It also includes a dual calculation module, BOM estimate and BOM actual, which works out...
