Dear customer and visitors,
I am very proud of DigiPara’s recent development. Over the last 15 years, we mainly concentrated on elevator and escalator software products with the goal of developing software in a customer oriented way. It is great to see that this strategy has paid off.
The past
After we acquired Otis as our major client in 1999, we have obtained Schindler, Kone and several ThyssenKrupp factories over the last several years.
Beside these companies, we deal with around 400 small-to-medium enterprises such as elevator companies, consultants and installation companies. This background has given us the opportunity to develop software that delivers the best results on a long-term perspective for all of you.
Today
During all our developments, we always have global requirements from different companies in our mind. Drawing automation is more than just putting some CAD-blocks together: decision makers have to keep in mind that different countries have different requirements and that the system needs to be easy to maintain, even for new elevator models.
My whole development team is well trained and knows elevators and escalators inside out. They are very skilled in .NET and web development as well as user interface design as it guarantees that our software is user friendly and easy to use for everyone.
Due to these resources, we are able to fully automate an elevator series in 4-6 weeks.
The future
We will continue to improve all our current software products as well as develop new ones to fulfill your needs.
As a leader for vertical transportation software, we are seeing that there is a need for special architect software that will help them find the best transportation solution. Our latest development “Elevatorarchitect for Autodesk Revit” will fill this gap. It will allow architects using Autodesk Revit to compare the different elevator company solutions. This new program will be the "first step" for all architects who want to create an elevator model within Autodesk Revit, it also suggests the number and size of required elevators. Elevatorarchitect will be the successor of Liftdesigner in the architectural field and will be available soon as a free download.
Another project we are currently working on will be a mechanical tool e.g. for Autodesk Inventor. We are expecting to show you the first results by the end of the year.
Despite our new product developments, Liftdesigner will still remain the first choice tool for elevator and escalator layout drawings as well as web drawing automation in the future.
Conclusion
At this point, I would like to say "Thank you" to all existing clients. Without your valuable feedback we couldn’t have developed our software products as they are today. I promise that we will be always be engaged in finding the best customer solution.
Feel free to "Challenge us"!
I welcome your comments and questions about DigiPara at Andreas.Fleischmann@digipara.com.
Yours sincerely,
Andreas Fleischmann, CEO
