Ynvisible teams up with sustainability leader for better hygiene solutions
The Canadian company has announced a strategic custom e-paper collaboration: Ynvisible's e-paper displays will be integrated into hand sanitiser dispensers to provide real-time feedback on device status and usage.
According to Ynvisible, the customer is "a prominent leader in sustainability, operates worldwide and serves clients in dozens of industries, offering innovative hygiene and infection prevention solutions." Among their extensive product range are various hand sanitisers, crafted by integrating advanced chemistry and technology to deliver effective hygiene systems.
Offering simple feedback on battery life and device readiness
The integration of Ynvisible’s e-paper displays into hand sanitisers adds significant value by offering clear, simple feedback on battery life and device readiness. This cost-efficient solution streamlines product management and enhances user experience.
This type of e-paper-based digital indicator solutions has applications in any industry that requires indicators to provide visual information on device status and usage, from hygiene, to public information, medical & pharma or supply chain and logistics. In addition to device status and readiness, other applications for status indicators include showing real time product information, emitting visual alerts when the product is exposed to certain conditions or revealing test results, for example in medical diagnostic tests. As Ynvisible points out, the estimated near-term market potential for its indicator solutions is significant, as they can serve a wide range of industries that demand simple and energy-efficient visual indicators.
"This collaboration demonstrates the practical and impactful applications of our printed e-paper displays. Providing critical information at a glance improves device efficiency and user satisfaction," says Ramin Heydarpour, CEO and Chairman of Ynvisible Interactive Inc.
Next steps: integrating displays into devices for extensive testing
Ynvisible has already delivered initial samples of the customised e-paper displays, which have received the customer’s approval. The next phase, for which Ynvisible has now received a purchase order, involves integrating Ynvisible’s displays into more than 500 devices for extensive testing. Upon successful validation, Ynvisible will proceed with the production and delivery of up to 50,000 units.
The integration of Ynvisible’s e-paper displays into the customer’s hand sanitisers’ product line is a first step in what has the potential to become a significantly wider collaboration, as the customer is already actively working with Ynvisible to expand the integration of Ynvisible’s e-paper technology into other higher volume product lines.
Due to confidentiality agreements, Ynvisible cannot reveal the customer's name or disclose the specific design and functionalities of the product at this time. "These agreements are crucial to protecting the customer's competitive advantage, reflecting the strategic value and significance of this collaboration", says a company statement.
