 Hello and welcome to InterviewTV News. It is Day 2 of Interview 2021 Hybrid and we are broadcasting live from the exhibition halls in Henover. Here in the news we will keep you up to date on what's happening at the conference, at the expo stage, but of course also what innovations the exhibitors have brought with them for the restart of Interview. So I'm now looking forward to my guest, Thomas Schmidt from Stonix and with him I will now conduct the interview. We are now talking in German. So, welcome to InterviewTV, Thomas Schmidt. And you are the German representative of the Italian manufacturer Stonix here. You are the business leader of Stonix.de and we will start with your impressions of this restart of Interview 2021 in Henover. Hello, my name is Thomas Schmidt and I am glad that we can finally be back live on the world's largest fair and the impressions are very positive. We finally have our network where we can greet the people and talk to them. We took part in digital last year as a Stonix representative and that was special, but especially under the corresponding circumstances. It's nice to be able to meet again. Very nice. What did you bring with you to the restart? What is the new thing that you are presenting here in Henover 2021? We have brought a whole bunch of products and see the potential in various areas in 3D.wolken. We have brought hardware, we have brought software, but we have also developed our special project, an individual solution for machine stripping both in the agrar area as well as in the solar area, in the field of building segment. You have to say that the world's fair has expanded extremely, not only the pure fair is active, but also the polish on the construction site. And we also take that into account, also on the machines with a very open system philosophy in the software and hardware field. Exciting. We also felt that technology has really jumped, since we last met in Stuttgart in 2019. A lot has been done in the whole development. And your motto is also simply to measure your company motto, if I have read it correctly. And that's why the topic of openness is written out loud for you. What exactly does that mean for your customers? For our customers, that means ultimately a lot of flexibility in their application. There is a customer's wish and we as a Donnings family have the desire to go into our customers themselves. And then we set up with our own solutions, but also always in order to be outside of the software to hardware, to be free there. The customer has the wish to use their own software. Then we try to integrate that as well. That's possible, because as you just said, a lot has been done technologically. In the hardware field, it looks like we of course use our products and also place them. But the interface to the software, we place an open system philosophy that we also support in the sense of the customer. You have already mentioned it, in the sense of the customer, for the customers integration interface and so on. That means that this specialization on the customer, on his project, is important to him. Absolutely, absolutely. The interface theme is basically opened over the course of the years, because there are established interface, but the user interface to establish for the customers with special wishes. There is again a certain intelligence between, but also the introduction of Stonik itself is part of it, to support that as well. Of course, we have our own products, also very good products, where we have very big successes. But we always want to be open. You told me a lot has been done. It is a good Wednesday on the INSA Geo. And in that respect, I wish you now a lot of good customer conversations, good business and good success here on the Integra 2021. Thank you very much. And we continue with my colleague Günter Knappe. He now meets with Dr. Christian Hesse, his vice president of the Integra Organizer DBW. And in the following interview, we'll learn everything about the focus topic, BIM, today in the Integra conference. And as well, of course, as further insights into Integra's world. Welcome. We are here at the InterGOTV studio. You were in the conference today. There are more, but you have already looked at the tables. What are your impressions of these first physical tables in the Geo 2021? I must say, I am very positively surprised by what you see here. The exhibitors are back again. We really see light at the end of the tunnel. It was a careful start. No question. We have different restrictions that we have to consider due to Corona. But the mood is positive. I spoke to many very satisfied exhibitors. The view goes forward. And that's actually what counts, the signal to the industry. We are still there. And it goes on again. The Integra stand and stand for innovations, for new products, for developments, for scientific research. This is also to be felt again this year in the conference. On the stages everywhere. In the conference today the topic is, since the DVW, BIM as a topic, so to speak, an area in which they know each other best. You were also in the session with us today. What are the current difficulties? How would you describe them? When it comes to BIM, you ask yourself, are we already there where we want to go? Is it promised that BIM has already fulfilled or is there still something to do? We had a very, very interesting panel discussion with four high-ranking participants. You have to say, there is certainly still air. Also, what is the contribution of the branch? We also have very, very good opportunities as a central supplier for BIM projects. And there were also very interesting questions, can you also make a low-cost BIM or a BIM lite in the future, as we see it from other industry segments, where you no longer have to deliver a fully developed 3D model, but also use parts of the point cloud, which is central supplier for BIM models. Especially these connections that we can deliver as a geocommunity. I think that this is a very valuable contribution that we will also deliver in the future on the topic of BIM. I take your words. We all know that we have been dealing with BIM for years. And it was always innovation. How is it going on? The path is still a little to be described and there can still be a bit of a tempo. Yes, of course there is no tempo. We have a level plan that is not yet quite fulfilled. You have to say that. It is also important to keep in mind that we tend to develop things very far in Germany conceptually before we start. Others just jump faster into cold water. That does not mean that we will be hanged there. I see the race not yet lost. We as a German community have very good chances. We have a great reputation in building smart. I am also very positively agree with that. After the discussion today, that was great, you have to say. BIM is a keyword smart CD. On the other hand, the ULV. It all stands for the diversity of this interview that has to be renewed again and again. I think that is also a part of the event of the DVW. Corona has certainly raised questions. Of course, in the field of post-production, it has certainly become not easy. Also in the field of university education. But of course, the keyword is ultimately how do you deal with digitalization and the members of the community. I think there are also new steps to be taken. Yes, we as a DVW have 7000 members and of course we are determined to continue to build the basis of the members of the community. The last two years have made it extremely difficult to get new members. The students do not know each other even within the semester, but only via digital channels. That means that the whole social network has not found itself there and also the contact to the group. That is what we are now trying to restore the contact. That has to be done, but we are on a good path. We have always had a high digitalization level as a business branch. And I think that helps us a lot at this time. You have also seen that we are very good as a branch through the Corona pandemic. Because we are used to going around with digital media and with digital data. Also that it is certainly one of the advantages that we have. And actually, you have to say, even if it is difficult at the moment through Corona with the universities and similar things, the attractiveness for the job of the geodata, so to speak, with all the surrounding professional images has actually become more attractive. The attractiveness is enormous. I see that in the width of the applications in which the individual absolutes from autonomous driving, via geoinformation systems, to construction monitoring, UAV, I think there is hardly a job with such a broad future perspective. It also shows the low unemployment that we have. I really don't know anyone who is looking for a job. We don't need to think about it. Your colleague from the Presidium, Prof. Hansa Klugtotra, said as president here at this meeting, for him it is 2021 in the geo, also symbolically for the rise in a new decade. What does the vice president Christian Hesse say? Yes, that is exactly my opinion. We have now had a deep cut. We have developed many new communication formats , also with the help of our partners at the back and that is now being built up. We have collected a lot of experience in the last two years with a digital intergeo, with a hybrid intergeo. The things that have proved to be running, we reach an international audience from more countries than ever before. I think that is a very good assumption. We have to draw the right conclusions. That is not a question. And it will change a lot, but it will not change to the negative. That is nice, Hesse, that you were there. Thank you. Hello, my name is Marlene Rübka. I am the social media manager of the World Investigation Campaign. We are involved in the measurement industry for growth. For one year, there is this Instagram campaign and we are working on it. The German campaign, the world surveyors, the world surveyors. And we are working on to show young people how to bring the geodesy closer, to show how versatile the job is and what you can do here if you are interested in an education or a study in the area of measurement. The world surveyors campaign is mainly found on Instagram, but also on Facebook. And everyone can participate. That is the good thing about it. So everyone who has interesting content in the area of geodesy measurement can send it to me on social media at BDVI. And then it comes to me directly. We process it, make great stories, stories and postings. So please participate and bring the topic of education in the geodesy forward. Exactly, the world surveyors. They are on Instagram and have great stories from here. So let's continue with a four-legged friend about 50-60 cm high with something of the shooting start in the year 2021. We are talking about SPOT, the new four-legged friend with a host of new features who is on show at the Riegel booth. And my colleague Karolina Karnevale took a closer look at SPOT for you. Thank you, Denise. Yes, as you said, I'm here at the booth from Riegel and by my side is Nikolaus Studnitzka. He is responsible for the static laser scanning. And we have another guest here. What about SPOT? Tell us a little bit about SPOT. Yeah, the SPOT is a robot on the legs which is a product of Boston Dynamics, an American-based company. And we tried to integrate our terrestrial laser scanner on top of this artificial dog. Which technology is behind this that it moves like a real animal? So I cannot talk too much about the robot itself but in our case the laser scanner takes one laser scan after the other and inside of the scanner all these scan positions are registered and you get a map of the surrounding online. So the scanner tells the robot where to go next. And where can it be used? You can use the combination of the SPOT and the scanner for example on the construction side where you want to check as built with the plant house. So you get in the BIM industry building information modeling you have a 3D model and with our laser scanner you get the 3D point cloud and you can compare and you can see and where are the differences. And is it like a view into the future? Yes. The combination of surveying instruments surveying great instruments like our laser scanner with millimeter accuracy in combination with robots I think that's the future. The robot can have wheels legs or it's a drone in the air. So thank you very much for this insight and back to you Denise. Thank you very much Karo and we are back here at interview TV studio live and now I talk to Professor Joffen Schieve president of the German Cartographic Society and professor of Geoinformatics and Geovisualization at the Hafen University, Hamburg. So Professor Dr. Schieve you call link to your data as a fundament of a smarter world and smarter maps and also for smarter decisions so in which cases are these smarter maps essential? Well I think today we don't experience really or link data this is first of all the key problem. We collect data, data, data for many applications but on the other hand from the application point of view it is not feasible to use this data in many cases it starts with the availability of the data sources on the one hand side and then on the technical methodology possibilities really to put all this data, this heterogeneous data, this dynamic data together on a platform that can be used for all the people and this is all about all the meagre trends that we have climate health, we know about this all of them have geospatial data in mind and in the application and they have to be linked in order to get to the decision makers. So do you have some concrete examples for solutions for a smarter world? The solution of course is first of all typically a technical solution to build developments to get rid of some interfaces or at least make the interfaces not available to the users but it's also about educating the people including ourselves more and more to get open minded to produce the data not only for yourself but open the data making them available. Thank you very much Professor Jochen Schiebe and thank you very much for your attention here at interviewTV news and now have fun at interview 2021.
