Mounting video of an extra flat socket

3D animation on behalf of the Berker / Hager Group

The Berker R.8 socket outlet is characterized by its extra-flat design. During product development, not only was the frame flatter, but also faster assembly. In order to relieve the electricians of the fear of a more difficult assembly and to show how easy and how fast the assembly is, an mounting video of the Animations-Maschine was created.

This installation video shows the different types of installation for the different walls. In a cavity wall, the mounting takes place with a conventional cavity wall socket. In wall walls, a sub-socket is first plastered into the wall, which then accommodates the socket.

From the illustrated storyboard to the finished assembly video

At the beginning of the animation creation there is a coordination with the customer. What should be shown? Which assembly steps are important? What should be explained in detail? All of these questions flow into a first rough brief description of the process. An illustrated storyboard is then created on this basis. In this storyboard, all important assembly steps are already shown as they can be seen in the later animation. As a customer, you can see in advance what the later video will look like and, if necessary, incorporate correction requests.

Product change during video production

When the video was ready and already coordinated with the customer, the product was changed again due to production. Unlike the previous requirement, the plastic housing should no longer consist of a light blue, but now a red plastic.

In contrast to videos shot in real life, such changes in 3D animations are not a problem at all. A setting in the animation program and later in the video has changed the color everywhere. In the case of videos that were actually shot, the entire video would have had to be produced again from scratch.

Color changes in 3D animations - no problem at all

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About 3D Mounting Videos for Socket Outlets

Why are 3D mounting videos particularly effective for electrical sockets and power outlets?

Electrical installation products often contain hidden mounting details that are difficult to explain with photos alone. A 3D mounting video can visualize every installation step, internal component and fastening mechanism, making the assembly process easier to understand for electricians and installers.

Can a 3D mounting video help introduce innovative socket designs to the market?

Yes. When a new socket design differs from conventional installation methods, a 3D mounting video can quickly demonstrate the assembly process and reduce concerns about unfamiliar products. This helps manufacturers accelerate product acceptance and support sales activities.

Why is CAD-based animation useful for electrical installation products?

Many electrical products are developed using CAD data long before series production begins. A 3D mounting video can therefore be produced before the first physical products are available, allowing marketing materials, trade fair presentations and installation instructions to be prepared in advance.

Can different socket standards for international markets be shown in separate video versions?

Absolutely. Existing 3D animation projects can be adapted efficiently for different regional socket standards and installation requirements. This allows manufacturers to create localized versions for international markets without rebuilding the entire animation from scratch.

How can socket manufacturers use 3D mounting videos beyond installation instructions?

In addition to assembly guidance, 3D mounting videos can be used for product launches, trade fairs, distributor training, online marketing and technical customer support. The same animation often serves multiple departments and communication channels throughout the product lifecycle.
