  • Their entire process is broken. Usually the one who does the site visit isn’t the one who does the work and who does the invoice. How to connect those people if not with eg. an CRM? By paper and phone?

    Two weeks ago, I got a new heat pump for heating. Everything, that I discussed ahead with the salesguys wasn‘t known by the construction team. Wtf. I had to explain and discuss it again. Some calls and mails to the sales guy included.

    Pen and paper is crap. No documentation, no archive, no easy workflow. Not talking about errors due to data entry issues into different excelwhatever crap. As said one showed up twice as he lost his paper with the measures. He was the boss btw.

    Those companies that are setting up modern, digital processes will take over the rest. At least here in Germany, where the youth has no desire to work as back in the 90ies (including the hierarchies and sexism that is called tradition)



  • Well done. It’s needed so urgent. Craftman still work like in the 60-90ies. They are sooo old school. And call it „tradition“.

    If they use a laser for measuring things, that‘s advanced. If they use a smartphone and digital apps for notes and customer contact (instead of pen and manual notebook) that’s advanced. Wtf.

    I had quite many craftman in my house last years and it’s unbelievable how they work nowadays. Two of them even didn‘t send me a final invoice. Well, that’s stupid backoffice work. Many couldn‘t send me an offering after having a (time consuming) site visit at my house. One showed up twice because he lost his paper with the measurements. And didn‘t send an offering.

    Nono, I lost all my respect about any modern capabilities of craftman. It’s insanely old schooled.

    Coming back to the 3d printer: How is construction building up a house nowadays? One after the other is doing their work. Nobody thinks ahead. How do they lay out pipes, lighting or power lines? By cutting into the wall. Why? Because of tradition. Any documentation? With pen and notebook? No way. How laying tiles in a bathroom? Showing up with a stack of tiles and cut it one by one. Laser measure it first and cut ahead at their shop to save time? Well, the leaning walls and tradition, they will answer.

    I do not wonder that building up houses became insanely costly.

    Sorry for my rant. But my experience were just eyeblowing and frustrating. (And as my mother was a craftman I know that matter a bit)






  • That’s it. And, indeed, you see light. That’s what your eyes do.

    Little smart ass knowhow: With your hands, you can feel light.

    You feel infrared light as heat. Not visible light though. Just heat up your cooker stove and it emits a bit visible red and a lot infrared light. Don’t touch just keep your hand close to the stove. Now you feel the IR-„light“.

    Or just take an IR-lamp for your neck pain. You‘ll feel the light that’s emitting with your hands.

    There have been robots for cows for years. It‘s the SHIT PUSHER ROBOT. It‘s pushing away the straw and shit all the day. That’s useful automation imho.

    Edit: And a feeding machine is know for years as well. Same with the hugging brushes.

    Call it a „robot“ and it gives you an article in the IEEE magazine and promotes your startup. What a shit show.

    Editedit: Ok, read the article. It’s more a „Hey look how much automation is in a cow barn already“

    The life of a cow becomes much more free and comfortable. Somehow it reminds me of the life of a human working and living in a modern society. (Not sure, if we recognize the fences around us and still call it freedom)
