The problem addressed: GT-Position addresses the problem of precise indoor positioning in a large areas in order to track and control moving vehicles, robots, trolleys, drones etc.,
The importance for society: If the recorded indoor position is not precise enough and cannot scale, then we cannot use the position for control of autonomous units or we might not get the necessary safety, or it might be too expensive. Further on the recorded positions data represents a high value for say retailers or users in order to minimize waste and optimize the business. And further on there is a high need for getting this information without a demand for recording person related data.
The overall objective of this project is to target some areas where the precision is highly needed, where the demand for large area scaling is obvious, and where demands for data provided without person relations is high.
The feasibility study has concluded that the project shall continue and that the Phase 2 application should be pursued but delayed, probably 3-6 months. The delay is founded in the details where particular the selection of the sub-segments in the Cleaning robot area, as well as the go-to-market solution for the Drone tracking and 3D has unveiled some very interesting associated application areas which needs in depth evaluation before we march forward.
The financial analysis has put focus on having at least 2 strong partners, one per segment in the beginning, and be more opportunity driven in the third segment. At the same time the current GT-Position technology as is on the market to-day shall be continued in the model and hobby area where our capability yet seems to be growing.
