Our R&D team analyzed the necessary technical specification of BrainedFactory, as well as the potential technical improvements and further developments that could be achieved on later stages. Our team then analyzed the technical feasibility of the different technical stages of BrainedFactory for its main components, including software and hardware development, integration, testing and validation, necessary to reach a TRL9. A risk assessment for all technical activities was also carried out, identifying the main technical barriers, as well as the best suited strategies to mitigate them.
Or commercial/sales team then performed a complete market study, featuring a comprehensive analysis of both the hydraulic equipment manufacturing system (as our traditional market) and the Industry 4.0 solution market (as our potential market for BrainedFactory). The study covered volume and growth, distribution methods, drivers and restraints, segmentation and forecasts. With the obtained data, we were able to perform business analysis through methods such as the GE matrix, the HAX triangle, the Penta Model and the SWOT analysis. A complete Freedom-to-Operate analysis was also performed to evaluate the risk of IP infringement, resulting in no apparent threats.
With the data from the market analysis, we were also able to carry out detailed sales forecasts, both with and without the development of BrainedFactory, thus extracting its real impact for Pintotecno. Finally, an adapted Business Plan for BrainedFactory was prepared, outlining the necessary positioning and actions that need to be carried prior to full commercialization.
