Congrats on the launch. Best case scenario that it is widely adopted: what's stopping others from releasing a similar product? Why haven't they already?

Others have tried, 20 years ago before the tech was mature, think windows 98, serial cables, beige industrial tech - we discovered them after we had started.

There probably will be followers, especially now we are public.

The number 1 risk is user adoption - ie the guys who have to do the greasing hate it. We have the opportunity to implement it and learn all of the lessons before the followers catch up

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah I just noticed, https://assalub.com/en/products/manual-lubrication/luberight... offer something similar but hopefully you can take it to the next level by reducing the friction and get passed the user adoption risk.

Best of luck!

Yeah we saw this after we had our prototype and customer orders. We have never seen any in the field.
