Skadedjursbegränsare i horisontella avloppsrör
The purpose with this project was to invent a product that secures buildings sewersystems against rats. The problem was presented to us by a local building maintainer inHalmstad, who had experienced big problems with rats in his real estate. The project hasbeen carried out by Per Johansson, Robert Lidén and Niclas Nilsson under our ownauspices. We are primarily sponsored by AMLI Business Partner but also byInnvationsgruppen, Halmstad Fastighets AB and Anticimex.To be able to secure a whole building with only one product we came to the conclusionthat the product must be placed in the horizontal sewer pipe that connects with themunicipal sewer system. Our goal was to invent a product that prevent rats from passingand at the same time not affect the water flow. We have succeeded in meeting our goaland can in this report present a well functioning product named RatStop.We have confirmed the market and can see a high potential in the product. The problemis big in Sweden and enormous worldwide. The project group has to find sponsors forproduction, marketing and further development of complementing concepts. Thereforewe now search for business partners.We have used dynamic product development and all the tools combined with it during thedevelopment. Especially meetings with competent persons have given us much, likeinsight in the market, facts in different subjects and feedback on our idea and product.We have learned a lot and we will benefit from this in the future. We believe in ourproduct and we will continue to work with it under the newly started company, Ratcon.Hopefully our product will be available on the market within a year.
