Currently, we are deploying our beta version (prototype) at perspective customer’s locations and we are gauging the performance of these sensors. We are constantly testing and updating the reports of the sensors and once all the debugging by the technical team is conducted and finalised, we will be taking steps towards certification of the product.
After the beta testing, we will be applying for certification of our product and license it from the relevant authorities to be used in public places. Once our device passes the certification tests and it is certified, the final step in terms of development would be mass-production of the sensor nodes. For this purpose, we are in conversation with designing companies both inside and outside Germany who can provide us the design support.
In the first phase of production, we have ordered 50-100 pieces. Once our perspective customers are satisfied with the performance, we will be ordering mass production of around 1000. From this point, we will produce on the need basis.
The impact of a senior researcher on a young company is always predominant and effective. Especially when the field of specialization is uncommon and not many people who can work efficiently in the required field. The innovation associate helped the company both technically and academically. He helped in establishing test-beds for experimentation of the core technology, our company has built upon. He helped in establishing contacts with technical institutes, companies, and equipment providers to provide us with all the required knowledge and equipment. The associate was successful enough to acquire modules from companies which are not yet easily available in the market, through his personal contacts. It is important to mention here that most of these equipment and modules were acquired for free on the trial basis which helped the company in continuing the process with spending least amount of money hence saving a lot of capital.
