Important results from the project
The objective of the project was to test a hygene robot that with a construcation adapted to user feedback concerning function, security and comfort. The objective has been achieved and the innovation can be launched in its first version during the summer of 2017.
Expected long term effects
Almost completed product (som development remains, approx 5 months to market launch). The expected effect was to develop a product adapted to user feedback and needs and start sales during 2017. We forecast 3-5 new clients during the first year of sales with both municipalities and private caregivers as clients. Income during year 1 is budgeted to 1 MSEK based on sales of 15 robots. Year 2 we forecast a turnover of 6 MSEK which will generate new jobs in the company. In year 3 we expect to yield profit and in year 4 we will reach return on investment.
Approach and implementation
We had an adequate design of the project with 6 workpackages. The company followed the plan. The main deviation was budgetary with a high increase in the external services charges due to the complexity of the project. The project was completed due to additional funding outside the project.
