We keep you up to date.

Companies are usually dependent on a particular type of gripper arm or on one manufacturer. 

When humans and robots work together, a number of safety requirements must be taken into account. Especially in the social sector, where robots are close to people, risks must be identified and limited in advance.

The task of pouring a liquid into a cup requires precise motion control of the robot and adaptability to different conditions.

So far, most AIs in robotics have been used to recognise, grip and precisely position objects.

For our research project, we need to develop a method that can quickly recognise and locate unknown objects in three-dimensional space.

Only then can the robot arm interact with them.  

The aim of our current research project is not just to train a robot arm in the social sector.

Rather, it is about developing and implementing software that can use AI to train robot parts from different manufacturers and with different sensor systems.

To make production lines flexible, future-oriented and economically attractive today, automating work steps is essential, for example by using robots.

All roads lead to Rome, but with Scrum you get there faster.

Anyone who has decided to make the switch and is taking the first steps does not have an easy time at the beginning. We are happy to share our experience so that Scrum runs more easily and smoothly for you, too. With these two tips, your retrospective and sprint planning will go better.

More and more customers come to us wanting to outsource their software development. This is due to the current economic situation. The reasons vary. For example, the company has to cut personnel costs, or does not have enough staff to handle the project alone, or wants to focus more on its core business and customer service.

We advise SMEs on all aspects of this topic, weigh up the pros and cons together with them and thus create a sound basis for the decision.

Agile project management is nothing new. And it is spreading like wildfire. More and more employees and applicants attach great importance to more freedom, personal responsibility and natural development. That is why many companies are moving away from outdated hierarchical structures. We have been working with Scrum for years and have had very good experiences with it. We are enthusiastic.

Why Scrum can be a booster for your company and what you should look out for when introducing it, you can read here

This week, the whole team elected an employee representative. This innovation came about at the suggestion of the management. It gives the team greater influence on how cooperation within the company is shaped.

As a software service provider, we are currently seeing a high level of digitalisation activity among German SMEs. Companies are securing their future now and optimising processes in production and administration.

The mood in the German economy continues to brighten. According to the Munich-based Ifo Institute, the Ifo Business Climate Index rose from 79.7 to 86.2 points in June. This is the strongest rise ever recorded. The services sector also saw an increase, from -21.0 to -6.0.

This month we are celebrating the successful completion of an important project. True to the motto of individual digitalisation, our employees have developed new software for a customer in laboratory technology/cancer research.

Together with four other consortium partners from Germany, and with the support of VDI Technologiezentrum GmbH, Cadida Software GmbH has applied to the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) for funding for a research project.

Naturally, we have regularly been asked these days whether we are open. As a software service provider, we were able to switch to working from home very easily and can be reached both by phone and by email.

Over the past month, Cadida has been active in the Freiburg region alongside its day-to-day business. We quickly and unbureaucratically advised doctors and therapists and supported and trained them in setting up online consultations. In March, we offered this service free of charge.

A camera manufacturer is using software developed by Cadida to measure fever using face detection in thermal images. This enables the thermal imaging cameras to measure facial temperatures and evaluate them reliably. Camera and software form a compact solution for easily detecting people who are ill and are already being used successfully at airports, for example.

To protect its employees from possible infection with the coronavirus, Cadida is following the recommendations of the Robert Koch Institute and cancelling numerous trade fairs for the coming months.

The successful launch of the digitalBAU trade fair in Cologne was an eventful highlight for us. From 11 to 13 February, more than 270 exhibitors and around 10,000 visitors engaged in a lively exchange at the Cologne exhibition centre.

A strong second half of the year brought Cadida Software a 26% increase in turnover and another rise in profit.

We would like to thank our excellent team and the loyal customers we once again had the privilege of supporting in 2019. Exciting projects are planned for 2020, and we are already welcoming new customers in the fields of CAD and image processing. 

Cadida has been awarded the Open Company and Top Company seals of quality by Kununu. This makes it one of the few companies to receive both seals. Only 5.5% of all companies listed on Kununu achieve this double award.

We look forward to welcoming you to our exhibition stand – stand number: 23. The 15th SME Congress will take place in Freiburg in October under the motto “Challenges of the Future”.

We are delighted to have hired new employees for marketing/sales, project management and software development.

As every year, we celebrated the Cadida anniversary with our company outing. True to this year’s motto, we swung our hips and our golf clubs together. We had lots of fun at Golf Campus Schlatt – with great success and great conversations.

If you would like to join us next time, take a look at our careers page. We have several vacancies and look forward to receiving your application.

The industrial trade fair in Freiburg, 30 January – 1 February 2019.
We are delighted that the fair is once again taking place here in beautiful Freiburg this year. At the largest trade fair in south-west Germany, we will be presenting solutions for mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, information technology and much more, alongside more than 300 other exhibitors.

BAU in Munich from 11 to 16 January was once again an event for Cadida Software right at the start of the year. BAU-IT again had its own hall, in which not all software manufacturers in the industry found space. For this reason, digitalBAU will also be held in Cologne in 2020. That trade fair will be devoted exclusively to construction software.

After switching to electric mobility at the beginning of 2018, switching to green electricity was the logical next step for us. This applies not only to charging our vehicles, but also to the use of renewable energy for all our offices, servers etc.

VISION - the world's leading trade fair for image processing - will once again take place in Stuttgart from November 6 to 8, 2018. Of course, we won't miss it. For a meeting on site, please contact us directly at Email or 0761/28522110

As every year, we are looking forward to the big Autodesk user meeting in Darmstadt on 17–18 October 2018. At Autodesk University, users, decision-makers and partners from mechanical engineering, architecture and construction, and digital media and entertainment come together.

We are heading to the "heart of metalworking", which, according to the trade fair’s website, beats in Stuttgart. At the international exhibition for metalworking from 18 to 22 September 2018, we look forward to meeting customers and making exciting new contacts.

Sustainability and environmental awareness have played an important role in our company from the very beginning. Whether it is buying locally instead of ordering, organising many journeys by public transport, or comparing materials and choosing the most sustainable alternatives wherever possible, carrying out repairs instead of buying new whenever we can, and in many other everyday situations.

Today you will find us at the 26th International Trade Fair for Laboratory Technology, Analysis and Biotechnology. In the middle of an exciting laboratory technology project supporting cancer research, analytica is the right setting for us to expand our network in laboratory technology and medicine – because visual software plays a decisive role here too.

Cadida turns 5 – thoughts on who we are and on the term “start-up”. This March, Cadida Software GmbH has existed in its current form for a full 5 years. A reason for us to celebrate, but also to look back, to look ahead and to give some thought to who we actually are, what we actually do and where we want to go.

On Tuesday, 28 November, the CAD-Gruppe Baden is meeting again at 7 pm. This group of experts has been getting together for years to discuss topics from the world of CAD. Design engineers, architects, civil engineers, computer scientists and many others meet to exchange ideas.

The Bricsys 2017 conference is taking place in Paris on 25 October, and Cadida will be there.

BricsCAD is an up-and-coming CAD software that offers a cost-effective alternative to the established programs.

We would like to celebrate our move to new, larger offices together with our friends, neighbours, customers and suppliers. We warmly invite you to drop by for a glass of bubbly or sparkling water and some nibbles.

This year, too, we were happy to support the riding tournament here at Freiburg’s Mundenhof as a sponsor. In glorious sunshine, 25,000 visitors came to the event over the first weekend in May and enjoyed the wide range of activities for young and old.

Dear customers, prospective customers, applicants and suppliers, since mid-April we have been in new, larger premises. After 4 years, we were able to look for a new home in order to offer our growing team and new employees more space.

The world’s leading trade fair for quality assurance is a meeting point for many of the industries we support with our software. In measuring and testing systems, image processing and CAD also play a major role – a large part of our range of "software for visualisation", in which we have a great deal of experience.

At the world’s leading trade fair for the construction industry, construction software is of course a must. CAD programs and other visualisation software naturally play a major role here.

Medica 2016, the world’s leading trade fair for medicine and therefore also for medical technology, is taking place in Düsseldorf from 14 to 17 November. Meet us there. We are looking forward to what we hope will be a lively exchange on visualisation software in medicine and medical technology. The fields of application are numerous, and we offer services as well as our own software to support you in image processing, image enhancement and imaging.

We are delighted to be hosting an evening of the CAD-Gruppe Baden again on 29 November 2016.

This time the exciting motto is "From 3D CAD model to rendered film with 3ds Max". An introductory talk presents Autodesk’s 3ds Max program (formerly 3D Studio Max) and shows how it can be used to “bring 3D CAD models to life”.

From 8 to 10 November 2016, VISION 2016, the world’s leading trade fair for image processing, is taking place in Stuttgart. Naturally, we would not want to miss it.

Cadida Software GmbH offers numerous services as well as its own products in the very wide-ranging field of image processing. So it is important for us both to keep up to date with innovations and new approaches ourselves and to present our own contributions to the topic.

Reitclub 99 e.V. is holding its annual riding tournament at the Mundenhof from 30 April to 1 May 2016. We are happy to support this event as a sponsor.

Reitclub 99 e.V. has made it its mission to give young and old an affordable opportunity to build a relationship with the horse as a sporting companion.

Medtec 2016 is currently taking place in Stuttgart, and we are there as software developers for image processing. After all, medical technology is also a key field of application for image processing.

There we are presenting, for example, our MESH Editor, which displays and edits point clouds and 3D meshes and can also be used to create sections.

We still have one place available on one of our "AutoCAD .NET API" training courses:

Date: 10–12 May 2016 (3 days)

Venue: Cadida Software GmbH, 79106 Freiburg im Breisgau

Registration via our contact page.

On 3 May 2016, another exciting CAD evening of the XING "CAD-Gruppe Baden" will take place at our premises. Unfortunately, places are limited and already fully booked. This time the topic is "Design and planning in furniture making and interior fitting":

Anyone who would like to hear about the events early on is welcome to join the CAD group.

On 4 March 2013, managing director Ebi Eilber founded his software development company. Today, just three years later, it has grown into a well-coordinated team.

The company offers a broad range of software development products and services, with a focus on “2D/3D graphics, CAD, simulation and image processing”. Cadida Software GmbH is therefore a specialist when it comes to imaging software, the display of measurement data and the connection of devices to graphical software.

We are delighted that, just in time for our third anniversary, we have been able to hire new female employees, who now strengthen our development team. It is a particular pleasure for us to welcome women to the team. Achieving a healthy mix of different people – especially in software development – is not easy, and we are proud of our interdisciplinary team of male and female developers from a range of disciplines and age groups.

Almost two years ago, our managing director and partners set up a CAD group that meets regularly to discuss new developments or to help one another with programming. Each meeting has a topic, on which there are talks and discussions. From now on, we intend to report on the meetings and their topics here under "News".

The last meeting took place on 23 February 2016 at our premises, on the topic of “Inventor Fusion”.
