Collaboration between mm-lab and DHBW - a successful concept

"Hands-on" training with responsibility

A first success of the cooperation between mm-lab and the Cooperative State University Baden-Wuerttemberg (DHWB), is the bachelor's degree by Mr. Gellert. He faced questions by the Kornwestheimer newspaper giving insight into this still relatively new form of training. It is quite demanding on the students with lots of theory in university and practice at mm-lab plus credit points that need to be gathered. But it is precisely this symbiosis that is well received and hence Mr. Gellert received his Bachelor boasting in parallel 1.5 years of professional experience. For more information, please see the article in the Kornwestheimer newspaper (available in German only).

Integrated planning for waste management

Where mm-lab's solution integration begins

mm-lab's solutions are not only integrated into the customer's infrastructure, but efficiently combine the best of what our partners have developed for logistics and Geoinformatics. Besides the use of on-board computers suitable for waste collection vehicles and off-the-shelf smart phones for normal fleet vehicles, also powerful software components come into play. Examples herefore are the PTV PTV xServers and PTV TruckNavigator, as described in the following press release by the company PTV.
