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!

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.
