CHALLENGES

01

Material variety

Aluminium composite, acrylic, Forex, stainless steel — each material has different prices and processing times

02

Wayfinding systems: 50 positions

A single system can include 50+ individual signs. Quoting each item separately takes hours

03

Repeat orders

Clients need identical replacement signs. Which material? Which size?

PLOTONIQ SOLVES THIS

AI knows every material, every fixing, every price

Speak into your smartphone: "Practice sign Müller, 80×40cm, brushed stainless steel, standoffs, white vinyl lettering." The AI calculates in 30 seconds — including material, cutting, film, installation and travel. With a price justification that convinces the client.

  • Material costs based on current wholesale prices
  • Automatic cut optimization (less waste)
  • Installation time based on mounting type and substrate
  • Travel costs based on actual distance
  • Reorders with saved customer history: Exactly the same as last time

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI know all sign materials?

Yes — Alu-Dibond (3mm, 4mm, 6mm), acrylic glass (cast, extruded, satin), Forex, stainless steel (V2A, V4A), rigid PVC foam, HPL, wood. Prices are based on current wholesale prices and updated regularly.

Can I calculate wayfinding systems with DIN pictograms?

Yes. Describe the system (e.g. "wayfinding system medical practice, 20 signs, DIN 1450, bilingual"), the AI creates all items with the appropriate formats and materials.

How does the installation calculation work?

The AI considers: sign size and weight, mounting type (standoffs, wall mounting, pylon foundation), substrate (concrete, masonry, drywall), height and accessibility.

Can I set my own material prices?

Yes, you can override the AI suggestions with your own purchase prices at any time. The AI learns from this for future calculations.
