Japan-easy!

Japan-easy!

A visit to Mitsui's roadheader factory in Omuta, Japan was a nice way to round out the end of the year. It was a highly successful visit in which Geodata KODA and Mitsui performed our acceptance test of the electrical, mechanical and sensors systems we've been planning for months.

Last week KODA visited Franklin Barbecue. Having tried once before, but arriving way too late to be guaranteed food we opted out - determined to return another time at a more appropriate hour. This time we arrived at 07:15 with the vain hope that we would be first in the line. No chance - how about fortieth?!

While road tripping across the Southwest of the United States I stumbled across a great podcast by 99% Invisible. 'The Children of the Magenta' discussed the problems which occur with increasing levels of automation in the airline industry. KODA started thinking about how that might relate to the navigation system industry - and where we are headed with that.

Today was KODA's turn to present its paper on "Multi-Instrument Total Station Monitoring with Advanced Weather Measurements". Not until I had to read the title out at the start of my presentation did I realize how gratuitous I was being with the naming of the paper. Either way, it was nice to reflect on my last (and successful) project before I left the mother country.
