Audio Visual Solutions for a Leading Canadian Retailer

AV Integration | Data Communications | Distribution Centre Technology

Project Overview

As a trusted AV and data communications partner, CaTECH was engaged to support the technology build-out of a 1.2 million sq. ft. fully automated distribution centre for a leading Canadian retailer.

The facility required reliable and intuitive audio visual solutions to support collaboration, training, operational visibility, executive presentations, and day-to-day communication across a large and highly specialized environment.

The deployment included:

• 34 video conferencing-enabled rooms
• 2 custom multi-purpose training rooms
• a control centre with 22 displays
• a 300-person auditorium with an 8x8 video wall
• display installations within localized freezer environments.
  

Challenges

• Delivering AV systems across a large automated distribution centre with multiple room types and operational areas.

• Installing displays within localized freezer environments where work had to be carefully planned around cold conditions.

• Mounting displays in difficult-to-access locations, including above conveyor systems, on structural beams, and at the ends of shelving units.

• Coordinating with other trades to ensure AV installation aligned with construction progress and site readiness.
  

Solutions

• CaTECH designed and implemented a custom AV environment that balanced room-specific functionality with a consistent user experience across the facility.

• The larger collaboration spaces included advanced AV components such as multiple displays, ceiling audio, wireless microphones, and full AV rack infrastructure.

• Two multi-purpose training rooms were designed to operate independently or in a combined format, giving the client flexibility for employee training, meetings, and group sessions.

• The control centre was equipped with 22 displays operating simultaneously to support visibility across transportation, maintenance, freezer areas, and security operations.

• For freezer-area installations and complex mounting locations, CaTECH’s field team used practical problem-solving, safe access planning, and close coordination with site teams to complete the work effectively.
  

Results

• Delivered a consistent AV experience across meeting rooms, training areas, operational spaces, and executive presentation environments.

• Supported employee collaboration, training, facility monitoring, and internal communication.

• Helped create a familiar and intuitive technology experience for employees.



• Reduced the learning curve by providing systems designed for confident day-to-day use.

• Completed complex freezer-area display installations despite challenging site conditions.

• Strengthened confidence in CaTECH’s ability to deliver large-scale AV integration for complex enterprise environments.
