Benefits of technology

[0006] An embodiment of the invention may include a railing assembly. The railing assembly may include a railing post, a railing affixed to the railing post, and a railing part configured to be placed between the railing post and the railing. The railing part may be configured to improve an aesthetic appearance of the railing assembly.

Problems solved by technology

There are problems, however, associated with prior known methods and apparatus for assembling railings.
The alignment and spacing of the railing assembly components is generally imprecise, and often takes a substantial time.
Moreover, manual measuring requires training the work crew, which can be costly and time consuming, especially when work crews often have high and rapid turnover rates.
