3d-berlin erhält EHI reta award 2021 als "Top Supplier Retail"

Ausgezeichnet: Digitale Wegeführung unterstützt Omnichannel-Konzept von Breuninger Nürnberg - vor Ort, online und mobil

Vivia Kusebauch und Adrian Zentner präsentieren den reta award "Top Supplier Retail"

Berlin, 23. März 2021. Mit den Retail Technology Awards (reta) würdigt das EHI Retail Institute Händler und ihre Technologiepartner, die mit Hilfe innovativer Lösungen Kundenzufriedenheit und Loyalität verbessern. In diesem Jahr gehört das Fashion- und Lifestyle-Unternehmen Breuninger zusammen mit 3d-berlin und MuSe Content zu den Preisträgern in der Kategorie "Best Customer Experience". In seinem Nürnberger Flagship Store hat Breuninger mithilfe seiner Partner ein umfassendes Omnichannel-Konzept umgesetzt. Die Lösung beinhaltet unter anderem smarte digitale Touchpoints, an denen Kunden Informationen zu Artikeldetails und Verfügbarkeit von Produkten sowie zur Orientierung und Wegeführung erhalten. Zahlreiche Services sind auch online verfügbar, darunter Click & Collect, Terminreservierungen für eine Beratung, eine Änderungsschneiderei und der "Store Guide" für die Navigation. Von 3d-berlin sind dafür am Standort Nürnberg seit 2020 die Indoor-Navigationsprodukte easyGuide kiosk, easyGuide mobile und easyGuide web im Einsatz. In enger Zusammenarbeit mit Breuninger entstand eine Individuallösung ("Store Guide") mit eigener Benutzeroberfläche in vier Sprachen und im Breuninger-Corporate-Design. Warenhaus-Besucher können das Gebäude über die interaktive Karte erkunden, aber auch gezielt nach Warengruppen ihrer Wahl suchen. Ein animierter Pfad leitet den Besucher Schritt für Schritt zum Ziel - auf Wunsch auch barrierefrei unter Vermeidung von Treppen. "Wir freuen uns sehr über die Auszeichnung als "Top Supplier Retail"", erklärt Dipl.-Ing. Adrian Zentner, Geschäftsführer und Gründer von 3d-berlin. "Aber noch mehr freuen wir uns, dass Breuninger mit unseren Lösungen seine Digitalisierungsstrategie vorantreiben kann, um bei seinen Kunden mit besonderem Service und hervorragenden Shopping-Erlebnissen zu punkten."

March has been a tough month in my personal life due to my medication changes. It’s hard to get across just how difficult it is to have a condition that requires medication to manage symptoms, and how the medication then causes problems in itself. I’ve been on very strong pain medication since before I was diagnosed and now I know my condition will never improve, and may even worsen over time, I want to make the best of what I’m left with. So I took the decision to try and reduce my pain medication, in spite of the severe pain I live with. This has been a long term reduction programme and it’s been going ok. It was in March that I got to a low enough dose that I’m struggling. I do have other things that I do to help me manage my pain but it’s taken all my reserves of mental strength to cope. It’s only going to get worse over the coming weeks and I just have to prepare myself as best I can. Once I’m off this medication my pain levels will be assessed again and it may be that I end up on a different medication but I just want to see what I can cope with.

Here are the 22 books I read this month:

Scarlett Says by Scarlett Moffatt

Forever Yours by Daniel Glauttauer

The Escape by C. L. Taylor

Willow Walk by SJI Holliday

The Little Shop of Happy-Ever-After by Jenny Colgan

Apple Tree Yard by Louise Doughty

The Last Act of Hattie Hoffman by Mindy Mejia

Days Without End by Sebastian Barry

Sometimes I lie by Alice Feeney

March Blog Posts & Reviews

I wrote my regular Weekly Wrap-Ups, Stacking the Shelves, and WWW Wednesday posts. Then I also managed to review twelve books, which I’m pleased about. It was my aim from the start of March to post three reviews a week on average and I’ve managed that. Ideally, I’d post more reviews than this but three feels manageable along side the regular posts I do each week (health permitting of course)

Here are my reviews that I shared in March:

Everything But the Truth by Gillian McAllister

The Roanoke Girls by Amy Engel 

It’s All Absolutely Fine by Ruby Elliot

The Breakdown by B.A. Paris 

The Escape by C. L. Taylor

The Last Act of Hattie Hoffman by Mindy Mejia

Sometimes I lie by Alice Feeney

The Best We Could Do by Thi But

Year of No Clutter by Eve O. Schaub

The Cutaway by Christina Kovac

Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner

The Trophy Child by Paula Daly

I also shared a great guest post in March:

Mark Stewart, author of The Absence of Wings, wrote a post for my blog all about speaking up for the voiceless in his short story collection

The state of my TBR:

I’ve had a few people ask my about my TBR recently so I just want to clarify that my TBR consists purely of books that I already own. I don’t count wish list books as TBR. This goes for anywhere that you see my TBR so if you look at my Goodreads the books listed as ‘to read’ are all books that I own. Hence the need to reduce it – if these books were just wish list books I wouldn’t be bothered how big the list was.

The State of my TBR is not great at the moment. I’ve demonstrated a lack of willpower throughout March and my TBR is creeping up, and is now higher than it was at the start of January!

I started this year with 1885 books on my TBR, and was doing well for the first couple of months as in February my TBR was down to 1861. However, in March a combination of a couple of giveaway wins, review copies arriving, a kindle book sale and spending my birthday book vouchers my TBR has now increased to 1913! I was a bit shocked when I realised how much my TBR has grown in the course of a month.

I don’t want to stop buying books but I do think I need to get better at not buying so many books each week. I’d at least like to try and not acquire more than I can read in a month so that my TBR would then remain steady, so that’s what I’m going to try and do in March. Wish me luck (or maybe that should read wish my willpower!!)

I also want to get in the habit of regularly going through my TBR and making sure that I’m only keeping the books that I still want to read. I’m thinking this should be something I do every month, or at least every quarter.

I’ve been tracking my reading using a spreadsheet since the start of 2017, which is the first time I’ve ever done this and I’m really enjoying seeing how various aspects of my reading are going. So I’ve decided that at the end of every quarter (March, June, September and December) I’m going to add an extra section to those monthly wrap-ups to share some of the things I’ve noticed in my reading patterns.

I’ve read 71 books from January to March, and that amounts to 23,326 pages. I’m finding it really interesting to track pages read alongside books read as it shows that I’m not just reading short books to get my numbers up. The longest book I’ve read so far this year is The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton, which has 849 pages. My average page count is 326, which is around the length of an average book so I’m pleased with that. 

I’m pleased to discover that in the first three months of this year that 65% of the books I’ve read have been by women. The diversity of my reading in other areas could be improved – I would like to read more work in translation, and also more books written in own voices but I’m otherwise pleased with the breadth of what I’ve been reading.

      I’ve read from a variety of genres and am happy that of 71 books read, 21 have been non-fiction/memoir so far. I wanted to try and make sure that around a third of what I read this year was non-fiction so I’m not far off being on track for that.

  I’ve also kept track of how I acquire my books so thought it would be interesting to show that here as well. Over half of the books I’ve got this year were ones I bought myself, and quite a few have been given to me as gifts. The percentage of review books are the smaller number.

        All in all I’m pleased with how my reading, reviewing and blogging has been in March. I’m aware that I’m not sure how I’m going to be feeling during April so I’m not planning too much in the way of reading or blogging goals. I’ll read when I can and review when I can and see how it goes. I am going to be taking part in a couple of blog tours so am already reading those books so I can get the posts written and scheduled in advance. I’ll be using any good spells of health to read and review and write blog posts so I’m hoping to have regular content on here even if I’m not around quite as much in reality.

  How was your March? I hope you all had a good month and that you read good books. Did you read many books? What was your favourite book of the month? Please tell me in the comments, I’d love to know. Also, if you have a blog please feel free to leave a link to your month’s wrap-up post and I’ll be sure to read and comment back. :)

March Wrap-Up post! March has been a tough month in my personal life due to my medication changes. It's hard to get across just how difficult it is to have a condition that requires medication to manage symptoms, and how the medication then causes problems in itself.

3d-berlin schließt Technologiewechsel zu HTML5 ab

Flash ade: Ab sofort entwickelt 3d-berlin Kiosk-Anwendungen für seine Partner nur noch mit HTML5 Berlin, 28. August 2018. Der Indoor-Navigationsspezialist 3d-berlin bietet seine Lösungen für die 2D- und 3D-Navigation für alle relevanten Plattformen und Geräte an: webbasiert für Desktop-PCs und Mobilgeräte sowie als Anwendungen für stationäre Kiosk-Systeme. Während die Desktop- und mobilen Anwendungen des Unternehmens bereits seit 2011 ausschließlich HTML5 nutzen, kam auf Kiosk-Systemen bisher Adobe Flash zum Einsatz. Jetzt vollendet 3d-berlin den Technologiewechsel und wird auch Kiosk-Anwendungen ab sofort nur noch mit HTML5 entwickeln. Lange Zeit galt Adobe Flash als Quasi-Standard für interaktive Multimedia-Anwendungen. Das änderte sich erst mit HTML5, das seit Oktober 2014 als fertige Spezifikation des World Wide Web Consortiums ("W3C Recommendation") vorliegt. Vor HTML5 ließen sich Video- und Audiofunktionen oder dynamische 2D- und 3D-Grafiken nur mit zusätzlichen Browser-Plugins umsetzen, von denen der Flash-Player das populärste war. Inzwischen wird HTML5 von den meisten Internet-Browsern gut unterstützt. Adobe Flash unterstützen dagegen immer weniger Systeme. Adobe hat 2017 angekündigt, die Unterstützung von Flash schrittweise einzustellen und ab 2020 keine Updates für den Flash-Player mehr zu veröffentlichen. Hersteller von Digital-Signage-Lösungen, die in ihren Kiosk-Systemen 3d-berlins Technologie für die Indoor-Navigation einsetzen, nutzen Third-Party-Browser für die Darstellung der Benutzeroberfläche. Dabei profitieren sie in neuen Projekten jetzt von den Vorteilen von HTML5. Für bestehende Systeme ändert sich nichts. "Dank HTML5 haben unsere Partner auch in Zukunft die freie Auswahl bei der Browserplattform für ihre Systeme", erklärt Dipl.-Ing. Adrian Zentner, Geschäftsführer und Gründer von 3d-berlin. "Und auch unsere Entwickler freuen sich über diesen Schritt: Denn HTML5 und Web Components bieten deutlich mehr Gestaltungsspielraum für flexibles Design als Adobe Flash und erlauben es, mit weniger Aufwand anspruchsvolle Oberflächen umzusetzen." posted by HR-Gateway

Indoor-Navigation für alle

easyGuide maps engine von 3d-berlin integriert Indoor-Karten und Navigationsfunktionen in beliebige Anwendungen Berlin, 13. März 2018. Zusätzlich zu seinen schlüsselfertigen Lösungen für die Gebäudenavigation bietet 3d-berlin ab sofort das neue Kartenmodul "easyGuide maps engine" mit Developer-API an. Die performante und ressourcenschonende Lösung erlaubt es, beliebige Anwendungen mit HTML5-Unterstützung, z. B. mobile Apps, Webseiten, Digital-Signage-Plattformen oder Raumbuchungssysteme, schnell und einfach um eine ansprechende Gebäudekarte mit umfangreichen Navigationsfunktionen zu erweitern. Die leistungsfähigen und bewährten easyGuide-Lösungen von 3d-berlin nutzen komplexe dreidimensionale Wegenetze und intelligente Wegfindungsalgorithmen, um Anwendern die Orientierung in Gebäuden oder auf unübersichtlichem Gelände zu erleichtern und sie wie bei der vertrauten Outdoor-Navigation schnell zum gewünschten Ziel zu leiten. Weltweit setzen Unternehmen, Behörden, Krankenhäuser oder Einkaufszentren auf Produkte von 3d-berlin. Mit der neuen easyGuide maps engine können Partner oder Kunden diese Technologie jetzt mit minimalem Aufwand auch in eigene Anwendungen integrieren. Das Kartenmodul bietet eine nach Nutzervorgaben maßgeschneiderte 2D- oder gerenderte 3D-Karte der Räumlichkeiten sowie eine Vielzahl interaktiver Karten- und Navigationsfunktionen, darunter zoombare Detailstufen (Level of Detail), Positions- und Zielmarkierungen und eine Schritt-für-Schritt-Wegeführung. Die Lösung verarbeitet Positionsdaten (Länge, Breite, Ebene) von beliebigen Ortungssystemen, zeigt die aktuelle Position des Nutzers an ("Blue Dot") und berechnet abhängig von den Kundenwünschen den besten oder leichtesten Weg zum Ziel. Eingebaute Steuerelemente ermöglichen eine sofortige Nutzung ohne weitere Anpassungen. Zusätzlich kann das Modul flexibel per API angesteuert und so nach eigenen Anforderungen erweitert werden. "Unser webbasiertes Kartenmodul ist plattform-, geräte- und lösungsunabhängig und somit für Entwickler bzw. den Kunden sehr vielseitig einsetzbar", sagt Dipl.-Ing. Adrian Zentner, Geschäftsführer und Gründer von 3d-berlin. "Gleichzeitig ist es besonders performant - gerade große Konzerne mit mehreren Standorten brauchen eine interoperable, sichere und technisch skalierbare Lösung." posted by HR-Gateway

What I’m reading now:

  The Trophy Child by Paula Daly

I’ve read and loved Paula Daly’s previous novels so was excited to get approved to read this one on NetGalley. I started reading it last night and am hooked, I can’t wait to read more.

Now We Are 40 by Tiffanie Darke

This book is so good! I’m not quite 40 but this is my generation and the book is bringing back so many memories. I highly recommend this to anyone who is a generation X-er!

The Cutaway by Christina Kovac

I was sent this for review recently and was excited to read it when I saw it was blurbed as being like ‘Gone Girl meets The Newsroom’. I’ve only read a few chapters so far and it’s a slow-burn book but it hooked me from the first chapter and I’m really keen to see what happened.

Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner

I started reading this last week and it wasn’t quite what I’d thought it was going to be so I put it to one side. I picked it up again earlier this week though and it has drawn me in. The descriptions of grief and loss are really heartbreaking at times as it’s believable and real, so this is definitely a book I will be continuing with.

A Portrait of Bowie by Brian Hiatt

I picked this up last week after we went to see the Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars concert from 1973 at the cinema. It’s a lovely book filled with great photos and short essays about Bowie by people who knew him. It’s one I’m dipping in and out of at the moment and I’m really enjoying it.

Year of No Clutter by Eve Schaub

I really want to get back into this book as I love books about clutter but, for some reason, it’s not grabbing my attention as much as I want it to. I think I’m going to give it another chance and if it still doesn’t grab me I may put it to one side and come back to it another time.

One of Us by Asne Seierstad

I’m still reading this as and when I feel up to it – it’s heavier non-fiction and with not being too well off and on at the moment I do struggle to take everything in. It’s a fascinating book though and I will keep picking it up when I feel up to it.

Not Dead Yet by Phil Collins

This is the audio book I’m listening to with my husband so we’re listening as and when we have time. We’re both really enjoying it but I’m finding myself getting annoyed with the way Collins seems to have very little consideration for the way he treats some of the women in his life. He’s either not wanted to be open in his book, or he has managed to convince himself that he did nothing wrong. I’d still recommend the book though.

What I recently finished reading:

Little Deaths by Emma Flint

I picked this up to read the first chapter whilst deciding what to read next and I just couldn’t put the book down. I ended up reading the whole novel in two sittings and was riveted. It’s a review book so I hope to have my review up soon.

And the Sun Shines Now by Adrian Tempany

This was a really interesting look at football from the late 80s to the present day. If I’m to be honest a couple of chapters fell a little flat for me but on the whole this was a really good read and I’d recommend it to all football fans.

The Best We Could Do by Thi Bui

This is a graphic memoir, and it was a heart-rending read. I only started reading graphic novels last year and it still amazes me how much emotion can be packed into a book with so few words. I’ll be reviewing this on my blog as soon as I can but it is one I’ll definitely be recommending.

The Last Act of Hattie Hoffman by Mindy Mejia

This book was a brilliant read. It had me engrossed from very first chapter all the way through. I’m on the blog tour for this novel so my review will be up tomorrow as part of that.

Days Without End by Sebastian Barry

I feel sure that this book will make my top books of this year – it’s a beautiful novel that I know will stay with me for a long time to come.

Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney

I read this book in one sitting – I just couldn’t put it down! I read an ARC so will be reviewing this as soon as I can. It’s a book not to be missed though.

What I plan on reading next:

The Cows by Dawn O’Porter

I’ve read and loved Dawn O’Porter’s previous novels so was really excited to see that she had another coming out soon. I can’t wait to start reading this and feel sure I’ll love it as much as the others.

A Dangerous Crossing by Rachel Rhys

I was also thrilled to get approved to read this on NetGalley and I’m so keen to start reading once I’ve finished one of my current books.

  What are you reading at the moment? Have you finished any good books recently? Any books you’re looking forward to reading soon? Please feel free to join in with this meme and share your link below, or if you don’t have a blog please share in the comments below.

  This week has been a better week than last. I had a bad weekend last weekend coping with medication changes but once my body adjusted the last few days have been okay.

On Tuesday I went to the cinema with my husband to watch Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars and it was brilliant. First, they showed a new interview with Woody Woodmansey about his time in the Spiders and his new book (which I’ve read and reviewed so you can read that here if you’d like to). Then they showed the whole concert from 1973. We also got given a souvenir edition of Mojo magazine with Bowie on the cover. I suffered with higher pain levels for a couple of days afterwards but it was absolutely worth it. (photo is pinched from my husband’s instagram: StaticVinyl because he takes much better photos than me!)

This week I’ve finished reading eight books:

(Some of these books I’ve been reading on and off for a few weeks so whilst I finished eight books this week, I haven’t actually read eight books in full over the last seven days)

And the Sun Shines Now by Adrian Tempany

I’ve been reading this book for the last month and have found it really interesting for the most part. A couple of chapters held less interest for me than others but generally this was a very good book about football and the politics surrounding it. I’d recommend it to all football fans.

The Best We could Do by Thi Bui

This is a graphic memoir, which is fascinating and heartbreaking. I got this for review so will try and have a full review up soon. It’s one I recommend though.

Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney

This book grabbed hold of me and didn’t let go – I literally read it in one sitting and was engrossed the whole way through. I’ll be reviewing this one soon.

Days Without End by Sebastian Barry

This book has been on my currently reading for a few weeks as I was struggling to hold the hardback copy to read it. I had a fairly good afternoon one day this week so I picked it up and I was captivated by the novel. I completely and utterly feel in love with this story and know it will be one that stays with me for a very long time.

The Last Act of Hattie Hoffman by Mindy Mejia

This is another book at I devoured. I read it in two sittings and loved it. I’m on the blog tour for this book next week (16 March) so will be sharing my review then.

Apple Tree Yard by Louise Doughty

I bought this book when it first came out and I couldn’t get into it so put it to one side. I’d heard good things about it though so I didn’t get rid of my copy. It’s recently been adapted for TV in the UK and the adverts for it re-ignited my interest in the book. I picked this up late one morning this week and I literally lost half a day to the book – I did nothing from when I picked it up to when I finished it. It just hooked me from the start. I’m so pleased that I gave this book another chance. I can only assume that when I picked it up the first time that it was just the wrong time for me because this was absolutely a 5 star read!

The Little Shop of Happy-Ever-After by Jenny Colgan

This was my audio book for the last couple of weeks and I adored it. It’s such a gorgeous story about a mobile book shop and is perfect when you need a bit of escapism.

Willow Walk by SJI Holliday

This is the second book in the Banktoun trilogy and I read this in one sitting. It grabbed me with the opening and I simply had to know what had happened. I have the third book, The Damselfly, on my TBR and I don’t think it’ll be too long before I read that one.

This week I’ve blogged five times:

Sunday: Weekly Wrap-Up

Monday: Review of The Escape by C.L. Taylor

Wednesday: WWW Wednesdays

Friday: Review of The Roanoke Girls by Amy Engel

Saturday: Stacking the Shelves

  This is what I’m currently reading:

Now We Are 40 by Tiffanie Darke

I haven’t hauled this book yet as I got it yesterday after my Stacking the Shelves was posted. I’m loving it though – I’m not quite 40 yet but this is my generation and all the music and cultural references are bringing back so many memories. I don’t think I’ll be long in finishing this book.

The Cutaway by Christina Kovac

I started this late last night and found it really captured my attention straight away. It seems like it’ll be a slow-burn but it’s intriguing from the off so I’m keen to get back to it.

Little Deaths by Emma Flint

I’ve had this on my TBR pile since the end of last year and I’m so glad to finally be getting around to it. I’m only about a quarter of the way through it so far but it’s good me hooked and I really want to know how it’s all going to turn out.

Portrait of Bowie by Brian Hiatt

I picked this up after we watched the Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars concert as I was in the mood to read something about David Bowie. This is a lovely book, with some really nice photos of him, all written by people who knew him. I’m really enjoying reading this.

Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner

I got approved for this on NetGalley and decided to pick it up straight away. It’s not exactly what I thought it was going to be, and I’m struggling to really get into it a little but I’ve seen good reviews so I’m going to keep going and hope it improves soon.

Year of No Clutter by Eve Schaub

I haven’t picked this up for a few days and I’m not sure why. I enjoyed what I read initially but it’s just not calling me back to it. I will read more of it soon though as I do like a book about clutter.

One of Us by Asne Seierstad

This is still a fascinating book – I’ve struggled a bit with heavier non-fiction this week so I’ve not read as much of this as I’d have liked to but I’ll definitely be getting back to this soon.

Not Dead Yet by Phil Collins

This is the audio book that I’m listening to with my husband and we’ve not had much chance to listen this week but we’re both really enjoying it so will be getting back to it as soon as we have the time.

Online-Werkzeug für mehr Kundenservice

3d-berlin entwickelt und testet neues Service-Portal für Kunden und Partner Berlin, 3. Juli 2018. Der Indoor-Navigationsspezialist 3d-berlin hat eine zentrale Online-Kommunikationsplattform für Kunden und Partner entwickelt. Über das neue "Service-Center" können Kunden einfach und flexibel mit dem Support von 3d-berlin interagieren, Informationen abrufen und ihre Wegeleitsysteme überwachen. Nach einer mehrmonatigen Erprobungsphase, die im Juli 2018 starten wird, soll die Plattform noch in diesem Jahr für alle Kunden kostenlos freigeschaltet werden. Das neue Service-Center unterstützt Gebäudebetreiber und Partner, die Navigationslösungen von 3d-berlin einsetzen oder in ihre Angebote integriert haben, beim Betrieb ihrer Anwendungen. Es bietet dafür unter anderem einen schnellen Überblick über alle Systeme, Bedienhilfen sowie Funktionen für Support, Überwachung und Auswertungen. Zu allen Projekten sind detaillierte Informationen verfügbar, darunter Beschreibung, Metadaten wie Land, Stadt, Ortszeit und Website, Handbücher oder Links zu Vereinbarungen wie SLAs. Projekt-Mitarbeiter oder Facility-Manager des Kunden, aber auch Supportmitarbeiter von 3d-berlin erhalten mit wenigen Klicks Status-Auskünfte und Nutzungsstatistiken zu den installierten Anwendungen: Wo stehen die Kiosksysteme? Sind sie online? Sind mobile und Webanwendungen funktionstüchtig? Wie werden die Systeme genutzt und nach welchen Zielen wird bevorzugt gesucht? Partner, die mehrere Gebäudebetreiber mit Lösungen von 3d-berlin ausgestattet haben, erhalten eine Übersicht mit allen Objekten, bei denen ein digitales Wegeleitsystem von 3d-berlin im Einsatz ist. Auch die Supportprozesse soll das neue Service-Center zukünftig beschleunigen: Kunden können damit Anpassungen bei Menüs oder Zielen schnell in die Wege leiten und Software-Probleme melden. Eine Benutzer- und Rechteverwaltung sorgt dafür, dass jeder Nutzergruppe nur die für sie relevanten Informationen und Funktionen angeboten werden. "Unser Ziel ist bester Kundenservice und langfristige Kundenzufriedenheit", erklärt Dipl.-Ing. Adrian Zentner, Geschäftsführer und Gründer von 3d-berlin. "3d-berlin ist auf die Bereitstellung und Pflege von interaktiven Wegeleitsystemen spezialisiert und kann seinen Kunden deshalb mehr Komfort beim Betrieb ihrer Anwendungen bieten. Auch das Service-Center wird selbstverständlich allen unseren Kunden ohne Zusatzkosten zur Verfügung stehen." posted by HR-Gateway

Indoor-Navigation für Krankenhäuser

3d-berlin auf der conhIT: Interaktive 2D- und 3D-Navigation für optimalen Patienten- und Besucherservice Berlin, 22. März 2018. 3d-berlin, Spezialist für Hightech-Indoor-Navigation, präsentiert seine innovativen Lösungen für Krankenhäuser auf der diesjährigen conhIT vom 17. bis 19. April 2018 in Berlin. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf der praktischen Umsetzung von Karten- und Navigationsfunktionen u. a. beim UKE Hamburg, dem Klinikum Kassel oder dem Epworth Richmond Hospital Melbourne. Interessenten finden 3d-berlin in Halle 3.2, Stand D-104 auf dem Länder-Pavillon Berlin-Brandenburg. Eine hohe Patientenzufriedenheit ist nicht allein eine Sache der Behandlungsqualität. Ebenso wichtig ist, dass sich die Patienten und Besucher im Krankenhaus von Anfang an gut zurechtfinden - auch auf einem großen Gelände, in verwinkelten Gebäuden und unter psychischer Belastung. Ein ansprechendes Informations- und Wegeleitsystem hilft Patienten und Besuchern dabei, sich zu orientieren, und führt sie auf dem geeignetsten Weg zu ihrem gewünschten Ziel. Digitale Karten- und Navigationsfunktionen in 2D oder 3D spielen hier ihre Stärken aus: Sie sind den Menschen von der Straßennavigation vertraut, intuitiv verständlich und einfach zu bedienen. 3d-berlin bietet für Krankenhäuser visuell beeindruckende, hochperformante und geräteunabhängige Indoor-Navigationslösungen an, die sich eigenständig einsetzen oder in vorhandene Anwendungen integrieren lassen - auf Kioskterminals ebenso wie in Webseiten oder auf Smartphones. Guide3D bietet eine spektakuläre 3D-Ansicht von Gebäuden und Umgebung in mehreren Perspektiven. Die 2D-Lösung easyGuide punktet mit Schritt-für-Schritt-Navigation, intelligenter Wegführung mit beliebigen Ausgangspunkten, Zwischenzielen und Endpunkten (n:n-Routing) sowie zoombaren Detailstufen (Level of Detail). So sorgen die Indoor-Navigationslösungen von 3d-berlin für ein angenehmes und modernes Patientenerlebnis und entlasten zudem das Klinikpersonal. "Partner oder Kunden erhalten Guide3D und easyGuide als schlüsselfertige, individuell angepasste Navigationslösung", sagt Yvonne Oscandi, bei 3d-berlin verantwortlich für internationalen Vertrieb und Business Development. "Sie können unsere 2D-Technologie aber mit minimalem Aufwand auch selbst in eigene HTML-Anwendungen integrieren, etwa in Digital-Signage- und Raumbuchungssysteme, Websites oder mobile Apps." 3d-berlin lädt Krankenhausmitarbeiter, Berater und Entwickler ein, seine Lösungen in konkreten Kundenprojekten aller Größenordnungen kennenzulernen. Auf seinem Messestand D-104 in Halle 3.2 präsentiert das Unternehmen Projekte aus Deutschland (UKE Hamburg, Städtisches Klinikum Karlsruhe, Klinikum Kassel, Alice-Hospital Darmstadt), Australien (Epworth Richmond Hospital Melbourne, Children"s Hospital at Westmead Sydney) und Saudi-Arabien (King Fahd Medical City, Riad). Interessenten können einen Termin mit Yvonne Oscandi vereinbaren (E-Mail an sales@3d-berlin.com), sind aber auch ohne Termin herzlich willkommen. posted by HR-Gateway
