Istanbul

Between the continents! Even though I haven't been on the other side of the Bosporus, I had a great time here in Istanbul. Together with our partner Ertan Ilter and his wife from Turkey, kubit (and me in person) was proud to be part of the InterGEO-East 2010 (http://www.intergeo-east.com/).

Unlikely the crowd on this event wasn't that much. But we still had quite nice visits from existing Turkish customers, friends and staff from all of the hardware manufactures on our stand. All of them were quite happy to see the new solution PhoToPlan 3D as well as our PointCloud 6 for AutoCAD 2011.

Besides the exhibition, it was great to see and understand how life and business comes together here in Istanbul. Ertan did a great job to guide me around through the city. So we ended up eating Köfte, had a nice drink called Boza and had a lot of Cay ... So good buy Istanbul and I'm looking forward to see you the next time!

Autodesk - FARO - kubit Roadshow

kubit is proud to announce the upcoming Autodesk-FARO-kubit road show in Germany next month. Besides an architectural focus, this road show is emphasizing on the new Autodesk Plant 3D software (http://www.autodesk.com)which will be released later this year! Autodesks Plant 3D is answering the industry driven needs to have a plant design software developed on an AutoCAD platform. Using FAROs laserscanner (http://www.faro.com) as well as kubits PointCloud, as built documentation can be done with limited effort and time. For everybody, who wants to attend this great road show can sign in at http://www.faro.com/content.aspx?ct=ge&content=news&item=3521&tab=1

In preparation to this event, it was my pleasure to meet with Oliver Bürkler from FARO as well as Klaus Dahlfeld and his team from Techdata and the different Autodesk partner last Monday in Munich.

Hi-Tech Metrology

A quick flight to Stuttgart brought me together with David Eldridge. David is working for Hi-Tech Metrology, an Australia based company which is concentrated on Metrology service as well as soft- and hardware. You can find more details about Hi-Tech metrology at www.hitechmetrology.com.au
We spoke about a possible partnership, especially when it comes to laserscanning and PointCloud. David emphasized the idea to provide interested clients with a trial dongle of PointCloud for a limited time period. Before that a presentation as well as training via webinar would be helpful.
I promised David to come back to our nice conversation soon. I am sure, there is great potential for all of us.
