| Project generation As a development company, OPDI must constantly make sure that we have a balanced project portfolio and incorporate new projects as the existing projects mature. A project might fit into out pipeline if: -
It can lead to a high volume optical sensor with a clear commercial potential within the IT or 'smart' Energy markets -
Our key technologies are essential to the success of the project Technology development process Once a project has been selected for development it will go through a rapid and focussed development phase until a proof-of-concept is achieved. A proof of concept means that all technology barriers are cleared and a proven manufacturing path is documented. The final goal of the development process is to achieve either a patent licensing agreement or technology sale to a commercial partner with high volume manufacturing capabilities and an established sales channels.
Product deployment process After a contract has been signed with a commercial partner, OPDI will work closely with this partner in transferring the technology. Once the pilot-series are completed, OPDI will gradually pull out to maintain only a minor technical support role |
