Standards for digitization of archaeological heritage

After having not been on the road for a few weeks, I was travelling to Warsaw early this week. Kubit-Poland was attending the Conference on “Standards for digitization of archaeological heritage” (http://www.cyfrowaprzeszlosc.uksw.edu.pl/en). Besides a small stand in the lobby, Ewa was giving a nice presentation about the kubit software solutions. The audience of more than 100 people (professors and students) was quite impressed and so the stand was hardly occupied during the breaks. Unlikely the breaks have been quite a few and unpleasantly short. So for everybody who wants to know more about kubit-Poland and offered solutions may check pl.kubit-software.com.

Parallel to the conference I was able to speak with our partners in Poland about ongoing projects, current clients and the upcoming year 2011. And this upcoming year, will push the kubit business in Poland quite a lot. I am sure that we have met some of the new customers during that conference in Warsaw this week already!

Good bye Tokyo!

This was again a great time in Tokyo. Our partner Mirukuru (www.mirukuru.jp.co) gave me just a great time! But besides getting gripped by this great city, I also had interesting meetings here in Japan: The highlight of course was the kubit seminar I hosted on Tuesday. Some 15 people from different industries showed up and were listening to my explanation about TachyCAD, PhoToPlan 3D and PointCloud Pro. It was my pleasure to speak with Mr. Kaneko from Topcon (www.topcon.co.jp), Mr. Ohhashi from Nikon-Trimble (www.nikon-trimble.net) and Mr. Ikeda from Obayashi (www.obayashi.co.jp) who is already a kubit customer.
Today Yuki Fuhura and I went to see Mr. Sasaki and his team from Riegl-Japan as well as Mr. Tabuchi, Regional Sales Manager of FARO-Japan. Both companies agreed to heavily intense our already good relationship in the near future.
Tomorrow morning I am flying back home to see my lovely family again and to get ready for InterGEO 2010 (www.intergeo.de) ...

Surveying the Forbidden City

Isn't that great? Surveying in the Forbidden City in Beijing, China is one of my most outstanding jobs since I am travelling around the world. Surveying this temple was part of the presentation we gave to the responsible persons at the Forbidden City. Besides evaluating laser scanning data using kubits' PointCloud, the Forbidden City is keen to work with PhoToPlan, PhoToPlan 3D and TachyCAD as well. kubit software will help them to document and preserve their highly valuable buildings and temples.
I was in China to see the kubit partner Onrol (www.onrol.com) again. I discussed with Teng Liu about further strategies in marketing and technology. Both of us see a highly increased need for as-built documentation thus for kubit software. So we are all looking pleasantly forward into the upcoming months and years.

kubit-Netherlands

Visiting our partners from the Netherlands again brought some nice days in Amsterdam and surroundings. But it was not all about sightseeing but more a quite busy time to discuss further strategies with Hans Cornelisse and his team.
At the end, we came up with a few points how we can improve our partnership in the near future. This will help to serve our clients in the Netherlands as good as possible.

kubit-FARO-Autodesk road show Part 2

Part 2 of the kubit-FARO-Autodesk road show has just finished. I am on my way back home from Munich, the last location of the road show. It was a great pleasure to welcome a nice crowd in Hanau, Erlangen and Munich. The attendees got a first inside view in the laserscanning technology and kubit's PointCloud in AutoCAD. At the end, we were counting some good prospects and looking forward to serve their needs on the laserscanning technology.

kubit-FARO-Autodesk Roadshow Part1

As announced earlier on my Blog, kubit took part in the kubit-FARO-Autodesk road show last week. Part 1 of this road show took me to Hamburg, Bremen and Moers. Besides kubit and FARO, the ACAD Systemhaus Bremen (http://www.acad-systemhaus.de/) and CAD4Build Brilon (http://www.cad4build-nrw.de/) were showcasing the AutoCAD Architecture. The plant part was taken over from Seitz Ingenieur GmbH (http://www.seitz-ingenieure.de/) as well as Unitec (http://www.unitec.de/).

Within these 3 days, we were able to demonstrate the integrated workflow from as-build documentation using laser scanning technology, post-process these data in AutoCAD using kubits PointCloud software to finally add additional value using AutoCAD Architecture and Plant 3D functionality.

If you want to participate in the 2 part of the road show, please register at www.faro.com/roadshow. I am looking forward to meet you there.

EU-Gateway Korea 2010

The EU-Gateway mission for Construction & Architecture brought me to Seoul, Korea. 5 very interesting days made it possible to meet already existing partners like Dream T&S (www.dreamtns.com), the Riegl partner in Korea and to come in contact with possible new partners like Jaewoo Tech. Co., Ltd (www.jaewoo.com).

However it was quite difficult to meet potential partners during the 2-days Gateway exhibition due to the much diversified company profiles in that mission. Nevertheless I am very positive that we have spread out the knowledge about kubit in this fantastic country.

By the way, this sculpture on the table is completely made from ice!
