Team 7 has taken a step towards ending conventional room measuring when installing its living room, dining, bedroom, kitchen and children’s furniture.
The manufacturer is trialling Amrax’s Metaroom technology. The app makes it possible to digitise customer’s rooms in just a few seconds on an iPhone or iPad. This allows employees to concentrate on the essentials: designing living spaces according to individual customer wishes.
Measuring tapes, folding rules and electronic measuring devices can be put away and number errors when taking measurements should be history. After scanning, the app generates a true-to-scale 3D model. In addition to room dimensions, windows, doors and furniture, the digital twin contains important information regarding the colors and textures of the scanned room.
This can then be opened in common CAD programs. Now the redesign of the room can be started directly, with no limits to individual wishes.
As soon as a design has been created, it can be shared directly with the customer in the app and brought to the screen. Customisation requests – Team 7 makes all of its furniture to order – can be made easy and efficiently and quickly presented to the client. The result is a win-win situation: maximum Team 7 customer satisfaction thanks to the simple workflow and a reduction in returns or complaints.
‘Digitalisation is an important trend that influences and changes our lives and economies every day. In the furniture industry, we need to drive automation and digitalisation in order to remain efficient and competitive in the long term. With Amrax, we have found a partner who will lead us as a pioneer into a new era of furniture planning,’ says Georg Emprechtinger, Team 7 owner.
“We conduct research and development in the field of digitisation and design of spaces for the interior design sector. In doing so, we use mobile devices such as smartphones and develop artificial intelligence methods, in particular machine vision. Our development results for digital spatial understanding, coupled with artificial intelligence, enable new interactions and additional touchpoints with customers. We are pleased to have found Team 7 as our first pilot customer and a sustainable, innovative partner for collaborative exchange. Through the high quality of our collaboration, we are creating attractive solutions and the know-how of the future,’ says Martin Huber, Amrax ceo.
Team 7 began testing the app with its own employees and is planning to extend this to other stockists.
