 Hi, this is interview TV live from Essen and right now I'm really happy that he has time for us He's the CEO and co-founder of Navix. He has Felix Rheinshagen and we also met him of course last year. Hi, nice to meet you again, Felix Denise, thanks for having me again. It's a pleasure. Yeah, I was curious to get to know more about your development What you brought to interview this year because when we went last year you brought that wearable mapping system that Navix VLX with you that was so interesting. We produced very good pictures. I also worry. Yes, I remember So right now we are curious. I just saw your booth. It's really crowded. You have a stage You have a kind of arena where I do some presentations So tell us what you brought this year so that people get to know Navis. Yes So first of all, it's fantastic to be here in Essen back at Intergeo I think the whole industry and we for sure are really hungry for You know large in-person meetings having the whole industry here many of our customers of our dealers of our partners and Has been very busy around and there was a lot of buzz and enthusiasm and excitement as well, you know after the Kind of hard years, you know to kind of reconnect on a personal basis And we are really really happy that Intergeo is facilitating that but seems to me Everybody is coming back with people from Brazil with people from the US with people from Australia That's so cool that they are coming back. It's wonderful to see and of course, you know, we are here larger than ever with the biggest kind of boost that we ever had and We have indeed seen tons of traffic. I think the whole topic of Mobile dynamic scanning sparks a lot of interest more every year and I think, you know, it reflects as well how we have been growing as a company I remember that The first time we were under geo many years ago. We were here with three people on a three-by-three boost and some very early-stage experimental products and Now we are over 300 people at Navis. We just added more than a hundred new employees in 2022 and this way we've been meeting a lot of People interested in the space like we see that this kind of Technology attracts a lot of the movers and shakers that want to push forward what's possible in the geo-special industry and That's another important aspect, you know meeting People that that are interested in this kind of tech and then are looking for an interesting place And you brought I mean last year you showed the hardware that was that wearable mapping system And right now you also developed and invested in new software technology So Navis is a very good provider for software solutions for 3d mapping and collecting data Tell us more about that. Yeah, I think the very interesting development is that Dynamic scanning I think has really arrived in the mass market So it used to be something very exotic And now it is this kind of a new standard tool for many of our customers Where they can actually do most of the work with which is a new thing, you know It was more a niche product for very specific workloads and now it's becoming like a central element That's then complemented by drone scanning by perhaps restrical scanning and of course This was possible not so much by hardware innovation, but the software innovation at the end I think You know, it's a lot of the profilers the cameras are standard in the industry But what really sets us apart is the innovation of the software side Applying machine learning in the cloud Artificial intelligence is now the new term for that to just get more out of the data No, like the iPhone gets just like the most out of the lenses and and camera chips just by applying very very smart Software and I think that's perhaps a new paradigm in in laser scanning as well that more and more of the innovation is happening on the software side And for us that means both on the data processing side Just getting more more out of the same raw data more accuracy more vibrant colors higher resolution But as well new data products fully automated blurring of people for data sensitive applications data segmentation Object recognition so that I think is where a lot of the future of the geospatial sector is Is around and then of course the whole Usage and distribution of the data where we have put our IV on product around so that The usage of geospatial data is not only for experts It is really like Google has made this accessible on the outer side for everyone every Five-year-old can now perfectly use Google Maps. Yeah We've invested a lot in making professional users kind of really high-quality indoor data as accessible and Just as playful to some extent and and easy to use Yeah, it's kind of a meta worse. We also use such Visualization and data. Yeah, absolutely and that is of course, you know among the other big trends that we are seeing You know one big trend we already talked a bit about is internationalization I think there were of course a few lead markets adopting dynamic scanning early Northern Europe the Scandinavian countries always first US in Japan now we are seeing this really going international and we added a lot of new markets and we as well see a very vibrant Gila and value-added reseller seen here at intergeo and It's as well really good to see that now everyone wants to bring this technology to their local markets as well I think it's a very healthy sign that the technology has matured and it's now so easy to adopt that It's ready so to say to to go in much more markets. Absolutely. It's great to see companies like Navis developing Growing getting smarter more innovative. You were in a way from the beginning on but yeah, it's really really cool So I mean wish you good luck and we heard so many things we can just invite you to visit Navis here at intergeo We are here until Thursday evening and Yeah, of course you can also find Navis in the web and they are on LinkedIn and yeah, you can find you everywhere Yes, I would love to see you at our booth and of course, you know, we are very active on social media We'll be sharing a lot of the impressions and customer discussions that we're having As well the partner discussion that as well one of the great things, you know, there's more more I think a collaborative sense in the industry the data needs to flow We've built many partnerships here with established players in the industry that are already amazing at supporting Certain workflows. You mentioned the metaverse. I think this kind of data will go on a lot of the augmented reality glasses In the future. We just announced a partnership with Magic Leap So yeah, that's as well I think a big plus here of intergeo that you bring all the people together and that you know This fosters is kind of collaboration that pushes the industry forward. Thank you very much for these words This was Felix Reinhagen from Navis here at intergeo 2022
