Ynvisible Interactive Inc. has announced a strategic custom e-paper collaboration with a global leader in water, hygiene and infection prevention products. The partnership is expected to lead to Ynvisible’s innovative e-paper displays being integrated into hand sanitiser dispensers, to provide real-time feedback on device status and usage.
Ynvisible’s customer, 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.
Enhancing value through innovation
The integration of 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. The estimated near-term market potential for Ynvisible’s 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,” said Ramin Heydarpour, CEO and Chairman of Ynvisible Interactive Inc.
Next steps
Ynvisible has already delivered initial samples of the customised e-paper displays, which have received the customer’s approval. The next phase, for which the company has now received a purchase order, involves integrating its 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 these 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 its partner to expand the integration of e-paper technology into other higher volume product lines.
