»On seeing how the very first design put together by Fraunhofer IPM immediately met our specifications, it quickly became clear to me that we were on to something special!

In fact, the measuring devices have lived up to our expectations from day one.«

»We expected to complete the project by the agreed deadline, with functioning, highly reliable hardware and software. And so we were especially pleased to see everything up and running by the time the project came to a close.«

»We haven’t come across any other provider who can measure surfaces as fast and comprehensively as we can with the F-Scanner.«

»We had already contacted several companies, but none of them were able to offer a solution which met our requirements. And although the problem initially seemed insurmountable even to Fraunhofer, it was gradually found to be within the realms of possibility. We learned a lot from each other during the process.«

»Working at the institute is wonderful in terms of the technology, the expertise, and the people, and it’s really a level playing field. Projects like these are fun, and it’s important to have fun!«

»We were looking for innovative new products. Then Fraunhofer IPM came along and said: 'We can measure that with laser scanners – they are already in use on railways.' So our response was: 'Okay, let’s try it!'«

»It is important that we have an in-depth understanding of all aspects of the systems we're developing – and that's where external partners such as Fraunhofer IPM come in. By working together, we can turn new technologies into commercially viable products in a much shorter timescale.«

»The most important thing is that our project partner is truly interested in the problems at hand and in finding a solution. A deep understanding and commitment to a given development project – particularly when it is so complex – is critical, as is a sense of responsibility for the final result.«

»Our department likes to think up and develop innovations like this ourselves. And in this case, we successfully did so in partnership with Fraunhofer IPM. With new ideas like this, we strive to give our customers what they want before they even know that they want it.«
