I recently had the privilege of visiting Kajima's headquarters, Technical Center, and a job site in Tokyo, where I learned so much from my conversations with their amazing team. It was inspiring to see the hunger for innovation that drives their operations—an energy that remarkably springs from the 現場 (job site) itself. This visit has deepened my understanding of the challenges builders face and sharpened my focus on the areas where Adept Materials' technology can help overcome them. A heartfelt thank you to all our gracious hosts for their warmth and valuable insights. Special thanks to Yuji Doi, Akihiro MANDA, and Ryosuke ISHIBASHI for facilitating the interactions with their colleagues at Kajima. Neda Hannah Sohrabi, Leonardo Rocchetti and Junichi Ikegaya from Plug and Play did a fantastic job bringing the event together. Finally, I tip my hat to Sravanth Gadikota, Tiffany Yeh, MD, Alejandro Ruiz Lara, Zach Laberge, Brett Skinner, and all the other entrepreneurs I had the pleasure to meet in Japan. #ConstructionInnovation #TechnologyInConstruction #Collaboration #InnovationInAction

Warum unsere Software auch auf Japanisch verfügbar ist... ???? Es begann damit, dass ich vor 1 1/2 Jahren im Rahmen von Startup Summit von Plug and Play Tech Center und der Groundbreak Konferenz von Procore Technologies in die USA eingeladen worden bin, um dort CATHAGO vorzustellen. Im #SiliconValley haben wir dann auch die Vertreter von Kajima kennengelernt und uns über Prozesse rund um den Einkauf von Baustoffen und Material ausgetauscht. Zu unserer überraschung arbeitet die Baustelle und das Büro im Bau am anderen Ende der Welt kaum anders als hier bei uns. ? ???????????????? ?????????????????????????????? ? ?????????????????? ???????????????????????????? ?????? ?????? ?????????????????????? ? ???????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????? ü?????? ??-???????? ?????? ?????????????? ? ... ???????? ?????? ???????????????? ?????????? ?????? ???????? ???????????????????????????? ????????????????, ???????? ???? ???? ???????????????????????? ?????? ??????????????ü?????????????? ?????? ?????????????????? ????????. Nach einem zweiten Termin am Folgetag war dann schnell klar: ?Wir machen das zusammen.“ ?? Bis der Proof of Concept dann gestartet werden konnte, verging allerdings noch einige Zeit. Unsere Software war zu dem Zeitpunkt natürlich noch nicht auf Japanisch übersetzt und wir mussten das System auch auf Multi-W?hrung, verschiedene Formate für Zeit & Datum sowie für den Support anpassen. Dann ging es aber los und Baustellen in #Osaka legten los unsere Software zu testen und zu nutzen. All das war natürlich auch mit besonderen Herausforderungen verknüpft. ??? Jetzt geht es darum, diesen Piloten auszurollen. Und wer wei?... vielleicht ist Japan der neue gro?e Markt für CATHAGO. Stay tuned! Wie stehst du dazu – ausgiebige Marktrecherche für Expansionen oder ?einfach mal machen“? ??
