My History and why i believe in this product:
I am a certified software developer, I have my own part time 3D printing service and I have worked in the warehousing industry for a little over ten years so I have first hand knowledge in the areas of stock management, ordering, picking and stock taking, Maintaining stock information accuracy is vital for any business especially in a fast paced environment such as distribution where the smallest of human errors can be costly.
This product gives the ability to adapt and move products from location to location quickly, when the item is scanned into the new location the software populates the screen automatically,
This product is currently being developed for warehouses and businesses that use a stock management system that holds products in bin locations and will really help in the following scenarios:-
Stock takes
Replacing labels will be a thing of the past
Easier stock replenishment
Live stock figures and information
Less hours for staff spent on house keeping (maintaining clean labels and tidy shelves).
We believe this product will easily be taken on board by businesses due to its very nature, its a game changer that could account for huge savings in man hours.
The prototype (granted this is not the prettiest looking prototype) currently has basic function and serial communication, the iteration I am currently working on uses a wifi module but the implementation is straight forward and the final design will come shortly, at the moment it is function over form. The second design is already under way with the screen positioned in portrait mode for a more compact design.
The funding will go towards the following areas:-
Market Research ( very confident in this area) and a strong marketing campaign.
Product Design and Engineering. (custom controller board designed and manufactured with semi integrated TFT screens, arm or 32bit core processor and integrated wifi module). Currently we purchase TFT screens, micro-controllers, wifi modules separately etc. By having the product engineered with a custom pcb the cost of a unit will be reduced dramatically, Currently each shelf strip with 5 screens costs excluding assembly between €40 to €50 depending on the quantity ordered.
Final Prototype. ( Vacuum Formed )
Followed by: any certification and a production run which may be covered in my current target budget.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and please consider backing or sharing our campaign. I hope you find it as interesting as we do.
Please consider helping us achieve our goal.
This project will be completed, but with your help we will get there much much faster
