    Zühlke supports GVB Group with digitalization

    Zühlke, the innovation service provider from Schlierem, is working with experts from Gebäudeversicherung Bern(GVB Group) to further develop digital processes within the company. According to the media release, GVB already has a digital claims process co-developed by Zühlke, the processing of claims. Now, further customer interfaces and processes are to be digitized, such as damage inspection, it continues. In addition, the functions of the existing platform are to be expanded and increasingly integrated.

    Digital damage inspection decisively reduces the manual effort, according to the press release. The majority of cases are now handled via the enhanced platform, he said. This leads to increased satisfaction on the part of the end customer. The app will be continuously improved step by step after the first launch. Customer suggestions serve as a central guideline in this process.

    The joint team of specialists from the GVB Group and Zühlke first conducts a preliminary technology evaluation study and develops prototypes using Flutter, a development kit from Google. A Flutter program should be able to run on different target platforms without major adaptations.

    An initial MVP, the first stage of a development for practical use, will be implemented as quickly as possible, step by step and close to the target group, Zühlke says. Regular interviews with GVB Group valuation experts then provide valuable feedback. Subsequently, the MVP is developed into a widely used app with a larger range of functions.

    The Schliere-based innovation service provider Zühlke is developing an efficient portfolio management system for the Zurich building cooperative Zurlinden . According to a press release , the building cooperative wants to completely integrate its real estate portfolio with a market value of around CHF 1.5 billion into the Nexport software of its long-standing partner Aktiva AG from Zurich.

    The existing platform is reaching its limits, according to the statement. The processes are error-prone. They were based solely on the exchange of document and Excel files. The future appearance should make the professional competence visible and show the added value that arises from services such as personal advice for customers.

    Zühlke has been commissioned with the further development. The new portfolio management tool is intended to enable central data storage and collaboration between the two partner companies. Important key figures are calculated and trends and master data are visualized, according to the Zühlke statement. Strategic decisions could be made based on current data. New tasks and strategies are constantly being integrated. The solution can be offered to customers as a software service and further developed together.

    Zühlke developed the solution based on the flexible development platform for enterprise applications, Mendix . According to the announcement, specialists from the areas of business analysis, user experience, low-code development and operation are working very closely with the Zurlinden building cooperative and Aktiva AG.

    Zühlke supports Adtrac with targeted outdoor advertising

    Zühlke supports the Zurich start-up Adtrac . The aim of the cooperation is the development of a platform for the targeted control, changing content and tracking of digital outdoor advertising until it is ready for the market. According to a press release, the innovation service provider from Schlieren has been at Adtrac's side right from the start with advice and support for further development. This should make the platform ready for the market in a few months.

    According to the media release, the idea of Adtrac is to transfer the advantages of the digital world into the classic principle of outdoor advertising. The sensors of the advertising displays should be used to play the most relevant content for the target group in front of the displays. This means that the offer on the advertising space can be adapted precisely for these viewers and their interests based on data about the respective target group. And the customer can follow the progress of his campaign online. According to Adtrac, the web-based campaign tool is used for this. Advertisers can use it to plan their campaigns themselves at any time, follow them live, optimize them and create evaluations.

    "Thanks to Zühlke's expertise and the flexible and agile cooperation, we are now there with a market-ready and convincing product," Benjamin Wey, CEO of Adtrac, is quoted as saying. Adtrac was created as a joint venture between Advertima , Fortimo and SPAR , all based in St.Gallen.

    After the initial launch on the market, the platform is to be continuously developed and supplemented with new functions.

  • ZHAW researchers and Zühlke are making solar systems cheaper

    ZHAW researchers and Zühlke are making solar systems cheaper

    When building your own photovoltaic system, planning and bureaucracy costs are often more expensive than purchasing the electricity-generating modules. The researcher Franz Baumgartner from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences has dealt with this problem. According to a press release , he is using modern technology to reduce planning costs. Baumgartner, head of the energy and environmental technology course at the ZHAW School of Engineering, is quoted as saying: "With small photovoltaic systems on single-family houses, only a fifth of the costs are now attributable to the modules themselves." The planning of the system and the administration are now similarly expensive necessary documentation.

    Baumgartner and the ZHAW Institute for Energy Systems and Fluid Engineering, in collaboration with the Schlierem-based innovation specialist Zühlke , started at precisely this point. According to the press release, Baumgartner got to know the use of HoloLens glasses in the medical sector and wants to use their advantages in photovoltaics.

    “Up to 15 working hours per system are required for the administrative work,” says Baumgartner. Building applications, fire protection plans and approvals help to drive up costs. It is easier to save money with more efficient processes than with cheaper modules. According to Baumgartner, part of the solution could be the HoloLens. During measurements on flat roofs, for example, the HoloLens glasses show the assembly points of planned systems with an accuracy of two centimeters and then create a virtual image of the system.

    Baumgartner: "In addition to its potential for documenting the entire process, it has a great advantage: it can measure, plan, offer and demonstrate the system to end customers from a single source." Baumgartner: "Because of the high wages, the system will first pay off in Switzerland."

    ZHAW researcher Baumgartner wants to expand its application to all types of flat roofs and covered parking spaces. "We are in the process of formulating a project application for the Federal Office of Energy and have already received positive signals from Bern."
