Hello all! Good news, I’ll be taking next week off and devoting all of that time to delegating tasks and knocking things off the checklist for production. I’m looking forward to the progress we’ll make in that time!

Hardware

Been working on the low fluid level sensor this week validating all of the electronics before finalizing the board for production.

The first two sets of packaging samples are in. The first supplier was great. One of the inserts was a little out of spec and the creases should be deeper but the graphics looked spot on. The second supplier sample had much nicer feeling cardboard and got the specs correct but had an issue printing some of the graphics.

My packaging engineer, Sam, will work with the suppliers on finalizing design and selecting which one he likes the most. He’ll also do some drop testing with an original pre-production unit to validate handling durability.

The tool purchase list is growing and I’ll be placing large tool orders to include everything needed for Argos assembly and general shop equipment.

Software

All Acaia scales have been integrated to the app and updates continue to be made based on user feedback.

Sincerely,
