Important results from the project
Goal 1 Ensure the functionality and reliability of the technology over an entire life cycle of 10 years. The goal has been met and the company´s machine is able to function for at least 10 years. Goal 2: To strengthen the company´s intellectual property protection through a new patent family. The goal has been met and national applications have been submitted in US, EU, India and China.
Expected long term effects
We have certified the machine to comply with the compressed air and machine directives. We have investigated a solution to avoid bacteria growth in the interior of the machine. We have investigated how the maintenance of the machine should be minimized. We have investigated how the water levels in the machine should be read and regulated during operation. We have secured know-how developed during Innovativa Startups step 1. This means that the company´s intellectual property rights have been strengthened.
Approach and implementation
According to the work packages we set up and which are described in the application, we have worked on a weekly basis with project meetings where the activities have been followed up and decisions have been made.
