Specialist design or engineering
Mad develops a defined scope, such as an interaction, control system or technology package, for integration into the wider project.
Engineering and programming ↗INTEGRATORS & CONTRACTORS
Add specialist capability
to the team you already have.
Mad can contribute design, software, engineering and technology to a project delivered with your team. We establish the interfaces, responsibilities and acceptance evidence together so the client receives a coherent installation.
WORKING WITH MAD
Agree on the way of working first.
Shared delivery
Divide staging, installation, configuration and commissioning around the team’s responsibilities, with the handover planned together.
Integration and commissioning ↗Platform and technology support
Use agreed Mad technology with the configuration, permissions, training and support needed for the project.
Technology collaboration ↗PROJECT EVIDENCE
See the specific contribution.
Digital and physical interpretation
At the Albert Robles Center, Mad brought together digital interpretation, AV systems and custom physical exhibits.

Crayola IDEAworks combined wireless QuickSilver infrastructure with RFID interactions across more than 30 exhibits.

| Decision | What to define |
|---|---|
| Interfaces | Document signals, networks, control APIs, content formats and the conditions under which the connected systems must operate. |
| Responsibilities | Identify who supplies and configures hardware, software, content, networking and operator controls. |
| Evidence | Agree factory and site tests, degraded operation, recovery and the record needed for client acceptance. |
| Support | Define access, licenses, configuration ownership, update responsibilities and escalation between the teams. |
Standard hardware sourcing and rights to software or patented methods are separate questions. The project agreement defines the actual technology supplied, permitted use and support scope. There is no assumption that every related implementation uses the same licensed methods.
EXISTING INSTALLATIONS
A staged path to new capability.
For a retrofit, establish the retained peripheral equipment, its interfaces and the replacement playback and control scope. Install the QuickSilver® foundation first; selected AV++® functions then become integration tasks with their own content, network and commissioning requirements.
CAPABILITY AND EVIDENCE
A clear scope for your project.
Give each deliverable a clear boundary: included hardware and software, interface responsibilities, commissioning tasks and acceptance evidence. Developing functions are identified before they enter the installation scope, so every team can plan against the same requirements.
