At its core, the process begins with a collaborative design workflow deeply integrated with data analytics. Upon receiving client requirements, incustom technical experts conduct precise on-site surveys, collecting an average of over 50 environmental parameters, including peak UV intensity, seasonal wind direction and speed frequency, rainfall distribution, and solar trajectory simulations. For example, when working on a seaside villa project in Singapore, the team analyzed data collected over two consecutive weeks, determining that the west-facing terrace experienced UV radiation levels as high as 350 W/m² between 10 AM and 3 PM. This allowed them to precisely calculate the required shading area and position. This stage typically takes 3 to 5 business days but increases the subsequent solution’s suitability to over 95%, ensuring the design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also rooted in rigorous environmental physics.
In terms of materials science and structural engineering, incustom’s customization is reflected in the combined application of over 200 high-performance materials. Their patented fabrics offer up to 99% UV blockage and can withstand instantaneous snow loads of up to 150 kg/m², with a wind resistance rating of up to level 12 (wind speed ≥ 32.7 m/s). The support structure typically uses aerospace-grade 6063-T5 aluminum alloy, which has a yield strength 2.3 times that of ordinary building materials while being 25% lighter. This makes large-span (e.g., 15m x 8m) designs without central columns possible, reducing visual obstruction by 70%. A typical example is the wave-shaped retractable canopy incustom created for a top-tier resort hotel in Hangzhou. It uses a specially designed membrane material with a tensile strength of 8000 N/5cm, combined with an intelligent sensing system that automatically retracts the canopy when wind speeds exceed 20 m/s, with a response time of only 18 seconds. This innovation earned them the “Best Outdoor Solution of the Year” award at the 2023 Asian Architecture Awards.
Intelligent integration and automated control are the nerve center of incustom’s “tailor-made” functionality. Its system seamlessly integrates light, temperature, humidity, and rainfall sensors, automatically adjusting the opening angle and extension of shading components through algorithms, optimizing microclimate control efficiency by 40%. This is expected to save users 20%-30% on outdoor space air conditioning energy consumption. In a commercial complex project in Sydney, incustom deployed a modular electric louver system covering a total area of 3000 square meters. This system automatically adjusts the blade angle based on real-time changes in the solar incidence angle (with an accuracy error of ±0.5 degrees), reducing the average summer temperature in the atrium by 5 degrees Celsius, directly increasing foot traffic and reducing energy costs by 15%. The average mean time between failures (MTBF) of its drive unit exceeds 50,000 hours, and it has passed rigorous IP66 waterproof and dustproof certification.
The final delivery and ongoing support constitute incustom’s closed-loop customer experience. By integrating its flexible supply chain, the manufacturing and installation cycle for standard projects can be compressed to 4-6 weeks, 20% faster than the industry average. incustom provides an extended 10-year warranty covering the main structure and drive system, and its global service network has an average fault response time of less than 24 hours. For example, when supporting the shading project for some outdoor venues of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the incustom team completed the entire process from plan revision to on-site installation and commissioning within 72 hours. The durability of the project was tested through accelerated aging tests by an independent laboratory, simulating 15 years of use with a performance degradation rate of no more than 8%. This end-to-end delivery capability allows incustom’s solutions to have a significantly lower total cost of ownership (TCO) over a 5-year lifecycle than the industry average, shortening the return on investment period to an average of 2.5 years, providing customers with exceptional long-term value and peace of mind.
