Innokas was chosen as product development and manufacturing partner for GrainSense. The cooperation between Innokas and GrainSense started with prototype production and product development project where Innokas and GrainSense finalize the manufacturability of the device. The product will be launched to the market during next spring. GrainSense’s CEO and Co-Founder Edvard Krogius says that Innokas was selected as a partner especially because of its strong experience as well as the quality factors. He feels that the cooperation between Innokas and GrainSense has gone smoothly, and he especially wants to emphasize the high-quality customer experience Innokas has offered to GrainSense.
“The cooperation with Innokas has worked well so far. We’ve started the cooperation with prototype versions of the device, but we recently decided to move the design and development work related to manufacturability and maintenance of the device to Innokas, too. We see the development work that is closely related to cost-efficient manufacturing is meaningful to do with Innokas as they will take care of the manufacturing of our product. We chose Innokas to be our partner because the company was very competitive with the price and the quality. Innokas’ very strong history within the medical device development and manufacturing, as well as the great references, also strengthened our decision making. Especially valuable characteristic I’d like to emphasize is the high-quality customer experience Innokas has offered us; we’ve felt that Innokas has treated us as a valuable customer already, even if we’re just about to start growing as a company,” GrainSense’s CEO and Co-Founder Edvard Krogius says.
GrainSense Oy is a spin-off company from the Technical Research Center of Finland, VTT. GrainSense’s mission is to expand to the worldwide markets with their cloud-based services and technologies based on the optical technology solutions. The company’s innovation is the first truly hand-held device for grain quality measurement. The aim is to enable farmers, seed producers and plant breeders to rapidly measure the key parameters of their crops in the field and to make decisions that can improve profitability and pricing. The device measures for example the protein content of cereals and other crops as well as the content and moisture of oil and carbohydrates; on the basis of these measurements for example the value and the processing costs of the harvest can be calculated and evaluated already when the grain is still growing in the field.
