New service: 3-D visualisation for kitchen and furniture manufacturers

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:12:00 +0100

�You cannot tell the difference between the scenes shown and photos, even though they are generated exclusively on the computer. 3-D visualisation is starting to establish itself as a new sphere of work,� explains Sebastian Uhl, Sales Representative Pre-press. This virtual technology has been used in the automotive industry for some years and more and more sectors are now following suit. �This procedure allows companies to save time and money otherwise needed for elaborate model and studio setups, because you can even feature products that have not actually been produced yet � and all this without having to make any cuts in quality,� says Uhl, explaining the main advantage.

Bauformat K�chen, a German kitchen manufacturer, is one of the companies now relying on photorealistic 3-D visualisation produced by Mohn media for their catalogues. Mohn media currently sees the kitchen and furniture sector as the one with the greatest potential for the use of 3-D visualisation.

The work of the 3-D visualisation specialists starts with a scene in the kitchen, usually with the editing of the construction data received from the kitchen manufacturer. A second step sees the product surfaces acquiring realistic surfaces, such as wood, glass and metal. The setting, for example the entire architecture of the premises into which the kitchen is to be integrated, including numerous utensils that are of course indispensable for a realistic representation, is then added at the end. Even what you can see out of the window is simulated. And if the sun is shining outside, the effects of the light inside have to match it exactly. Uhl: �We are currently testing whether you can realistically add people to these virtual pictures using image composing. That would actually be the next step on the road to perfect visualisation.�

PIKEUR and ESKADRON rely on pre-press services from Mohn media

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 10:19:00 +0100

The collaboration started one year ago with the winter accessories newsletter that was sent out to the 1,300 specialist PIKEUR and ESKADRON dealers. Page production was the responsibility of the Mohn media pre-press team, the product pictures were photographed in the medienfabrik photo studio that is directly incorporated in the workflow of the Mohn media pre-press department. There soon followed the PIKEUR and ESKADRON catalogues for this year�s Spoga fair in Cologne � an internationally acclaimed fair for garden, sport, camping and lifestyle.

The pre-press team redesigned the layout of the ESKADRON catalogue in advance. The modern make-over guarantees that the product illustrations from the catalogue can be used in the ESKADRON online shop without being processed any further and thus offers the customers time-optimised production. The accompanying photo-shoot took place at Wolfgang Brinkmann�s equestrian centre: Brinkmann won a gold medal in show jumping with the German team at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul. To ensure the best conditions and make sure they were independent of the weather, the medienfabrik photography team converted a barn into a photographic studio. �And to round off the service, we altered the ESKADRON trade fair stand to fit in with the catalogue design,� says Key Account Manager Stephanie Fehlbier.

The complete service package from the Mohn media pre-press team, together with the medienfabrik photographic studio, certainly convinced PIKEUR and ESKADRON. �We were particularly impressed with the fast implementation of our wishes as well as the very short processing time,� says PIKEUR Marketing Manager, Lasse Oberschelp.

PIKEUR has been official outfitter to the German Olympic Riding Committee since 1972 as well as outfitter to a large number of teams at international tournaments, European and World Championships as well as Olympic Games. The company ESKADRON was founded in 1977 to focus on accessories for horses. Products include horse and saddle blankets as well as horse gaiters.

G�tersloh/New York, 27 October 2009 � arvato print Management GmbH, a printing services company owned by arvato Bertelsmann AG, and The Reader�s Digest Association, Inc., one of the world�s leading media and marketing companies, have reached an agreement on an extensive business-process outsourcing contract. The two companies announced the deal today in New York and G�tersloh. Effective immediately, arvato print Management is responsible for RDA�s purchasing and production management in a total of 35 countries in North America, Europe and Asia. For RDA in Latin America, arvato print Management will be responsible for purchasing the Asian manufacturing spend. The five-year agreement covers a purchasing volume of an estimated 400 million USD over the term of the contract.

Under the new service agreement, arvato print Management will handle the global sourcing of books, CDs and DVDs for RDA. Some of these products will continue to be manufactured by production companies in the arvato group; the remainder will be purchased from co-operation partners from all over the world.

�We are delighted that Reader�s Digest Association has entrusted us with the important task of coordinating its worldwide procurement management for books, CDs and DVDs, and by doing so strengthening our long lasting and successful partnership,� commented Markus Schmedtmann, a member of the arvato AG Board. He added that the agreement with Reader�s Digest Association is decisive for arvato�s printing division in two ways: �On the one hand, the partnership is an important milestone when purposefully developing the service portfolio in the printing business, and on the other hand it marks the company�s strategically important entry into a dynamically growing market.�

�Reader�s Digest Association is pleased to have forged a relationship with arvato to be an integral partner in our global supply chain. This agreement will complement our strategic procurement vision as we go forward creating efficiency and value to our company,� commented Albert L.
