Our project started on the 1st of September 2015 and was finished by 31st of August 2017. In the beginning we have started both the technical and non-technical tasks parallel. The first step of the development was focusing on the finalization of the System specification based on the detailed analysis of the market feedback and investigation of technical possibilities.
Based on the specification the Design process of the software itself and the related database could be done which resulted in defining and designing the main acting components and the relation/interfaces between them. Once all the building blocks were defined and designed, the Implementation started which reached the level by now where the functional Test could also started. The first functional tests were executed by the end of June 2016. As a result, the developed modules are operating as designed separately and integrated as well: they are able to provide similar results as other, commonly used 3rd party libraries (Relux, Dialux, OpticStudio).
The Precursol sol preparation and depostition task focused on the optimization of the antireflective coatings in laboratory environment. Following we were focusing on the Post treatment optimization and investigated the parameters of the different treatment processes to achieve stable and high transmittance surfaces.. We have continuously Tested the prepared samples.. As a next step we have already started to raise the coating process from laboratory to industrial environment and started the Coating technology industrialization.
The Industrial scale-up of the coating process defined all necessary steps and parameters that provides the basis of the coating machine specification. A target coating machine concept was defined.
The Design of the coating machine followed this step, where the industrial coating machine basic design was reached, the main points of the design were finalized including the layout of the system, the product forwarding mechanism, the control system and the separate process stations. During The manufacturing and installation of the coating machine the following steps were the manufacturing of the special parts, and purchasing of the commercially available units. During the realization the minor parameters of the units were fine-tuned, the machine was installed and the first units were coated.
With the newly developed software solution and the enhanced coating ability, we have focused on the Lens design of the new LED lamp, a new luminaire the Pearlligh+.
With the above designed lens system we have initiated the Product development and manufacturing phase and produced 100 pcs of luminaires utilizing novel manufacturing solutions.
During the validation phase we were focusing on the Coating process control, Validation of automated lens design process, Validation of plastic cover improvement. During the validation phase all our initial expectation were met. The new lamps were validated by third party, and the measurements show significant improvement in the efficiency of our new luminaires according to our specification, showing high project success!
As part of our commercialisation activities we have put increased effort in Market Research and Analysis to finalize the technical specification of our development and to enable the preparation of precise and realistic marketing and sales strategy. Based on the gathered information we have updated and detailed our Business Plan and already obtained new Sales and Distributon channels to expand and prepare the commercialisation of our new product and services.
We have put increased effort in the Dissemination and Communication activities since we believe this is a key factor for a successful business. We have focused on a detailed Marketing Communication Strategy to rethink the image of the HungaroLux Light Kft. and to promote the project and its results in a proper way.
As part of the Project Management activities we were focusing on timely and precise realization of the project, we were working closely with our subcontractors to achieve the desired results. All necessary documentation and reports were prepared and submitted.
