PRotix

Purpose and goal

PRotix was a feasibility study with the goal to investigate the market acceptance and interest in innovative technologies concerning condition monitoring of rotating machinery and transmissions in heavy industry. The project has developed a demonstrator for the technology which then was used in contact with interested companies and as a basis for workshops. PRotix is considered a successful project and a number of new industrial partners are committed to a continuation project.

Results and expected effects

The project has resulted in a new application for a three-year research and development project with a number of new industry partners who are interested in the technology. Results of the project has also led to changes in the business model to better meet customer needs. A flexible solution where customers have the opportunity to be responsible for the operation and security of the analysis software is one of the results. PRotix has also contributed to an order of a targeted feasibility study for a new industrial party.

Approach and implementation

The work in PRotix has been carried out with frequent meetings between the partners and with support from ProcessIT. The technical developments in the project have progressed according to plan and the resulting demonstrator fulfills its role in the project and can be used in contact with interested companies to come. The short project time and the aim to bring about a continuation project with deadline 8 April made this an intense but stimulating project to work with.
