We manufacture fixed LED walls in Győr and install them across the region. Kočevje is 467 kilometres away by road, and the last stretch is a regional road through forest rather than a motorway, so a fitting job is planned as a two-day visit with an overnight stay and a written task list. That distance also shapes the technical advice below: everything we can make serviceable without a van on the road, we do.
LED wall in Kočevje — manufacturing, installation, quote
Slovenia · 467 km from our plant in Győr
Kočevje is the seat of the largest municipality in Slovenia by area - 563.7 square kilometres - and one of the emptiest, with about 15 650 inhabitants and an average of 28 people per square kilometre against a national figure of 105. The town itself held 8 113 residents in 2021, down from 9 598 in 1981. Those numbers are not a discouragement, they are a specification: they say that a display here should not be bought for passing footfall, because there is very little of it, and should be bought instead for the places where people are held still - a factory canteen, a museum room, a hospital-style waiting area, a hall at Trg zbora odposlancev. The industry is real: Melamin, founded here in 1954 as the town's chemical works, still makes resins at Tomšičeva cesta 9, and Yaskawa has assembled robots in Kočevje since 2018.
How wide does the wall actually come out?
The module is 32 by 16 centimetres and never rotates
Because the panel is a fixed landscape unit, the finished surface can only be a multiple of 32 centimetres wide and 16 centimetres high. A screen for a plant reception is therefore specified as a module count first and a dimension second - eleven by six gives 352 by 96 centimetres, and there is no eleven-and-a-half. Give us the clear opening and we will show you the two nearest grid sizes above and below it, with the difference taken up in the frame. Doing this before manufacture is a five-minute exchange; discovering it in a corridor after a 467-kilometre drive is a wasted day for two people.
Which pitch does a shop-floor screen need?
Measure to the nearest habitual viewer
In an industrial setting the answer is usually coarser than people expect, because nobody stands close to a production display for long. A board read across a bay at eight to fifteen metres is well served by P2.5 to P4; a screen in a meeting room or a visitor reception where people sit within two metres wants P1.5 to P2.5; a surface read from a yard or an approach road belongs at P4 to P8. Paying for a finer pitch than the sightline uses is a straight transfer of money to pixel count. Paying for a coarser one is worse, because it cannot be undone. We take the measurement at the position rather than accept a description of it.
Does Kočevje need an outdoor advertising wall at all?
Often the answer is no, and we will say so
An exterior wall is built to IP65 and driven at 4500 to 5500 nits so that it survives weather and beats daylight, and it is a genuinely good product. It is also, for most enquiries from a town this size, the wrong purchase. A large screen facing Ljubljanska cesta is looked at by a traffic flow that is mostly local and already knows what is in the town; the same budget spent indoors, where a person waits four minutes rather than glances for two seconds, does more work. Where an outdoor build does earn its place here is functional rather than promotional: a plant gate showing shift information, a sports ground showing a score, a public information point that has to work in rain. If your brief is advertising reach, we would rather sell you a smaller indoor screen and be right than a large outdoor one and be quiet about it.
Where does a wheeled poster beat a mounted screen?
Four builds on one rolling frame
The poster comes in four specifications on the same chassis: P1.5 GOB and P2 GOB for close reading with a hardened surface, P2.5 for interiors, and a P2.5 outdoor cabinet version for positions exposed to weather. Indoors the panel runs at 700 to 800 nits, which is right for a room; the outdoor cabinet build reaches 4500 to 5000 nits and is the one that survives a forecourt. The reason to consider it here before a mounted wall is arithmetic rather than preference. Nothing is fixed to a building, so there is no access equipment, no facade fixing and no structural opinion, and the unit is used the week it arrives instead of waiting for a fitting slot 467 kilometres away. For the museum foyer at Šeškov dom, a bank counter, a plant reception or a shop unit on Ljubljanska cesta, it removes the entire installation from the project.
How does the picture reach a screen at the end of the line?
Wi-Fi, scheduling and self-service repair
Two paths exist. A live source arrives over HDMI and needs a planned cable run; scheduled content is uploaded over the network or over Wi-Fi and replays on a timetable. In Kočevje we push hard towards the second, because a screen that is managed remotely is a screen that never generates a journey. The same logic governs spares. The delivery includes replacement modules, a module clips out without tools, and we film the swap on your own unit at commissioning so the maintenance staff have it on file. Cover runs to one year or two depending on the build, and because those spares are already on the shelf, a first failure does not have to become a 467-kilometre errand.
What does 467 kilometres change in the offer?
Two days, one overnight stay, itemised
It changes the schedule more than the price. A Kočevje installation is a preparation and travel day followed by a fitting and commissioning day, and the crew stays overnight; we do not attempt it as a single run, because the last hour of the drive is not a motorway hour. The journey and the fitters' subsistence stand as their own entries on the quotation, with the distance stated, and are kept out of the price of the wall - if you want to compare our figure with a Slovenian supplier's, you need to be able to see which part of it is transport. On permissions we claim nothing: requirements exist for anything fixed to a facade or visible from the public road, and our contribution is the technical documentation - drawings, loads, electrical data - that the submission needs.
