Very cool! I live in a mining town and the number one issue is just getting the mines to adopt new technologies. A lot of people very set in their ways. I've heard of million+ dollar projects just sitting unused because people weren't bothered to charge an iPad.
Do you manage the installs, maintenance, and training yourselves? Have you had any issues with people purchasing the system, but not using it?
I wish you the best of success! It's a very cool field to be in with so much potential.
- timhall99 6y agoThanks Nathanael, Yes, tech adoption is a risk and something that we are trying very hard to address. Our strategy is to keep the tool & system as simple as possible. Our head unit has no buttons, only a screen and a charge port and is retrofitted onto existing grease guns. We want to allow operators to work as they normally would but to have the tool that augments them and makes their job easier. We know its not going to be an easy task, but simplicity in design is our strategy to overcome this.
- petercondoleon 6y agoYes adoption risk is very real for us. We have encountered some operators who are as you describe but interestingly liked the idea for keeping other operators in check particularly in cases where there are teams of people doing the lubrication.
