With our guests and visitors at the stand, we succesfully explored the opportunities for new cooperations on developing complex software projects. This year, the main topic were  IoT (internet-of-things) and industrial automation.

Since activities at the B2B fairs & exhibitions are dressed up in a serious note, Codespring tried to brake the routine  with a relaxing and fun experience: the guests at the stand could test an automated photo system.  The software system contained a server, a web application and a desktop application, running on a Raspberry Pi 2 mini computer. The guests got surpermanified  via the system.
