Purpose and goal
The aim of the project was to investigate if industrial production is applicable for large scale manufacturing of the sensor. In addition to identify partners with the required technical expertise and capabilities. The project also included the evaluation of the most critical steps. We see no direct obstacles to industrial production but still see that a lot of resources are required in terms of process development. We have found that initially up to 4 partners may be required for the whole process but concludes that eventually product could be produced by two partners.
Results and expected effects
The projekt result is that JonDe Tech believes that it is possible to outsource the entire production and has decided to continue this work. It is expected that this development will initially include three or four partners. We have initiated collaboration with two companies for process and product development, prototyping (up to 2 million sensors / year). A company that develops pläteringsutrustning of thermoelectric nanowires, as well as a partner for high volume ( > 50 million sensors / year).
Approach and implementation
The project approach to contact several companies in this branch of industry have been successful. They have shown great interest in our product and technology. We have received good feedback from all of the companies and then picked out and started a collaboration with five of the companies to develop materials and semi-finished products that we have analyzed.
