For Fragile Art and Luxury Items
Smart Glass facade reduces light damage on fragile art and luxury collections
Integrated environmental monitor measures health of the artwork 24/7
Integrated popularity monitor measures visitor engagement per vitrine
Vitrine Analytics compares virtual vs. physical visits to the displayed object
Imagine a vitrine cabinet that knows what is inside it. The item’s Fragility. Popularity. Significance.
Imagine a vitrine that can adapt in real-time to environmental changes to ensure the object is never over-exposed to light.
ArtRatio display vitrines offer a patent-pending solution based on smart glass, sensor-driven electronics and cloud-based analytics to balance the exhibition of works of art with their conservation.
Our contextual data analytics system proactively reduces risk and enhances the visibility of art, protecting its condition and value for future generations.
LIGHT
The smart glass facade controls UV, visible and infrared entering the vitrine cabinet. We also monitor incident light and light exposure, crucial for textiles, works on paper and fugitive pigments.
TEMPERATURE
Controlling light reduces temperature gradients, fluctuations and photochemical damage on composite objects with differing coefficients of thermal expansion (source: CIE 157).
HUMIDITY
Controlling the temperature reduces fluctuations in relative humidity (RH), reducing risk of embrittlement, mould or fungus on hygroscopic materials, such as wood, paper, ivory and parchment (source: CIE 157).
STATIC
Careful maintenance of RH reduces the risk of static charge build-up on internal insulative surfaces and stops the lift-off of friable media, such as graphite, pastels and charcoal.
AIR QUALITY
Reducing electrostatic charge build-up can reduce the transfer of dust and pollutants, improving air quality (source BSI PAS 198).
