Purpose and goal

Expected results and effects
The project was expected to create conditions for developing scalable business model and technology concepts for fully automated polishing. The project has resulted in: documentation of 5 interviews and dozens of meetings with companies. Technology concept shown at a fair and network meeting. First investigation of IPR strategy. Attention for the project in social media as well as at the innovation contest Stena Line Propeller Prize 2017 where the concept won.
Planned approach and implementation
We have visited and interviewed five businesses in identified market segments and conducted dozens of meetings with companies at trade shows and business meetings. This has given us a very good basis for understanding the needs and requirements of our offer. It has also become very clear that we need to create differentiated offers to the various market segments. To validate the possibilities to be able to create a system that supports the concept of digital twins, we have analysed the market available systems and developed our own solutions.
