Corporate Showroom Sliding Timeline
A representative specification for a motorised sliding screen that turns a long company history wall into a position-triggered guided presentation.
This page is a representative configuration scenario, not a named customer case study. It describes how a Lumivue system would be specified for this type of space. Actual sizes, content and site works are confirmed in the layout drawing issued with a quotation.
Scenario brief
A corporate timeline usually fails because it is too wide to read and too static to hold attention. A motorised sliding rail screen solves both: one display travels along the wall, stops at defined positions and plays the chapter for that point. The visitor follows the screen instead of scanning a printed graphic.
The space and its constraints
This scenario assumes a 6 to 9 m uninterrupted wall, a ceiling height of at least 2.8 m, a clear floor zone in front of the rail and a structural substrate that can take the track and carriage load. The wall must be surveyed for studs, voids and power routes before the track length is fixed. A curved or recessed wall changes the rail geometry and is handled as a separate configuration.
Recommended configuration
A 65 inch motorised carriage on a bottom or upper-and-lower dual rail is matched to a printed timeline graphic behind it. Position markers trigger a chapter automatically; a touch layer allows a visitor to skip or replay one. For a very long wall, two linked carriages can run on independent tracks so a guided group and a casual visitor do not wait for the same screen. Rail length, carriage weight and stop positions are recorded in the layout drawing.
Content production
Each chapter is a self-contained scene with a year, one headline, a short clip or animation and a clear end frame. Because the screen moves, text is set larger than for a fixed display and the scene is designed to make sense even if a visitor joins halfway through. Playlists are stored on the local player, so the presentation keeps working when the venue network is unavailable.
Installation and commissioning
Installation starts with a wall survey and a laser level, followed by track fixing, carriage hanging, cable carrier routing and limit-switch setup. Commissioning tests every trigger point, the emergency stop, the home position after a power loss, touch calibration and the playback schedule. A short operating sheet covers daily start-up and what to do if the carriage stops between markers.
What to confirm before ordering
Confirm the exact wall length and substrate, the number of chapters, whether the presentation is self-guided or presenter-led, the available power position, and the required noise level for the motor. These answers set the track type, carriage count, marker spacing and drive specification.

Configuration patterns on record
The rows below are configuration patterns drawn from our product range and from anonymised installation records. Client names, locations and site photographs are deliberately omitted. Use them as specification guidance, not as named customer references.
| Venue pattern | Configuration | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Short history wall | 3 m straight rail with a 55 inch IR touch display | Position markers trigger one chapter per stop; a home position is restored after a power loss. |
| Vocational college timeline | 5 m rail with a 43 or 55 inch display | Self-guided operation; chapters are self-contained so a visitor can join midway. |
| Retail store upgrade | 6 m motorised rail with a 55 inch display | Automatic sensing mode; the screen moves and plays without staff involvement. |
| Corporate showroom | 6.7 to 8.25 m rail with a 55 or 65 inch IR touch display | Presenter-led tours with skip and replay from the touch layer. |
| Curved feature wall | 6.8 m arc rail with a 55 inch display and decorative edging | Curved track geometry and carriage clearance are engineered against the wall survey. |
| Large exhibition hall | 14 to 16 m rail with a 65 inch display, a background wall and additional players | Long walls use linked carriages or extra players so a guided group and a casual visitor do not wait for one screen. |
| Opening screen wall | 4.7 m assembly of four 55 inch opening and closing panels | Panels part to reveal the exhibit behind them; a separate mechanical sequence with its own limit switches. |

Questions this scenario usually raises
01How many stop positions can a rail have?
The number is set by the wall length and the chapter plan, not by a fixed catalogue limit. Each stop is defined as a physical marker and a matching playlist entry in the layout drawing.
02Does the screen need a network connection?
No. Playback and trigger logic run locally. A network CMS is optional and is normally added only when the marketing team wants to push new chapters to several sites at once.
