New website with Headless CMS and custom DAM software for Engineering firm
Sunray Engineering
Sunray Engineering, a subsidiary of ASSA ABLOY, stands as a leading provider of steel security doors and access security products. Their commitment to maintaining the highest industry standards and regulatory compliance necessitated a digital solution that would reflect their professional excellence while streamlining their documentation management processes.
Sunray Engineering faced several complex challenges in their digital presence. Their existing website needed to demonstrate compliance with multiple industry regulations while effectively showcasing their extensive product range. Additionally, they required a sophisticated system to manage their technical documentation, including specification sheets and compliance certificates, which needed to be easily accessible to installers and maintenance teams in the field.
We developed a comprehensive digital solution that addressed both their website requirements and documentation management needs. The project was split into two main components: a modern headless CMS website and a custom Digital Asset Management (DAM) system.
Our development team implemented a headless CMS architecture, which provided several key advantages:
The separation of content management from the presentation layer enabled strict compliance with security requirements while maintaining website performance. This architecture allowed us to implement robust security measures without compromising the user experience.
We created a customised content model that accurately represented Sunray's product range while ensuring all technical specifications and regulatory information were properly structured and displayed. The website was built to reflect both Sunray's own high standards and ASSA ABLOY's global brand requirements.
The bespoke Digital Asset Management system we developed included several innovative features:
We implemented a comprehensive digitisation process for all technical documentation, including specification sheets and compliance certificates. This involved creating a structured database that maintained relationships between products, documents, and compliance requirements.
The system includes sophisticated version control functionality, ensuring that users always have access to the most current documentation. This was particularly crucial for maintaining compliance with industry regulations and safety standards.
One of the most innovative features was the implementation of a QR code system integrated directly into their products. Each security door is fitted with a unique QR code that, when scanned, provides immediate access to:
This mobile-first approach ensures that installers and maintenance teams can access crucial information directly on-site, reducing potential errors and improving efficiency.
The solution was built using enterprise-grade technologies:
The headless CMS implementation provides content editors with a user-friendly interface while ensuring content can be delivered securely across multiple platforms. The system includes automated workflows for content approval and publication, ensuring all information meets regulatory requirements before going live.
The DAM system was developed with a focus on scalability and security. It includes:
The new digital ecosystem has transformed Sunray Engineering's online presence and documentation management processes. The headless CMS provides a flexible, secure platform for their web content, while the custom DAM solution has significantly improved the accessibility and management of technical documentation.
The QR code system has been particularly successful, with field teams reporting significant time savings and improved accuracy in accessing technical information. The system ensures that everyone working with Sunray's products has immediate access to the most current documentation, supporting their commitment to maintaining the highest standards in security door installation and maintenance.
The modular nature of both the website and DAM system allows for continuous improvement and scaling as Sunray Engineering's needs evolve. The platform can easily accommodate new product lines, additional documentation types, and enhanced functionality as required.
This project demonstrates how innovative technical solutions can address complex regulatory and practical challenges while improving efficiency and maintaining high security standards in the engineering sector.
