Recently, Tridivisions‘ Jürgen Bund visited our project partner evologics GmbH at their headquarters in Berlin. Jürgen Bund got a first-hand and detailed insight in the newest developments at evologics, such as the Quadroin AUV that you can see on the photo (Prof. Rudolf Bannasch, the company founder in the middle; Dr. Fabian Bannasch, CEO, on the right). After that, all three discussed the alignment of the company’s strategy with the goals of the project, from which derived new exploitation lines. The main one is related to ecosystem monitoring in sweet water environments such rivers, lakes, dams, swamps, etc., which initially wasn’t part of the project’s goals. The visit also served for addressing VoC (Voice of the Customer) aspects and how evologics incorporates these into their product development processes. Finally, Ideas for follow-up R&D and innovation projects were outlined, and which would benefit from using ECOBOTICS.SEA as a ramp-up and promotional platform. A bi-/multilateral follow-up meeting for the second half of this year has already been agreed.
