Delivery of Smell Inspector Developer Kits successful! 🥳🖥👃🚛

Dear Smell Inspector Supporters,

The last year since the start of our Kickstarter campaign has been incredibly rich in experience for us. The most important learning for us was that we could rely on a community of technology enthusiasts. For that we would like to say „Thank you!” to all of you today! Your support, your comments and hints, your belief in our Smell Detection technology motivated us to make Smell Inspector a reality and to bring our Smell Detection technology to the market.

As of today, we have shipped all Smell Inspector Developer Kits.

For those of you who are waiting for their additional detector chips, these are on the way to you.

The shipment of the developer kits is just a milestone. We are curious how the journey towards smell-related applications will continue and what ideas you have for the use of our technology. With the Smell Annotator App you can annotate and share your measurements with us. We are eager to make even more possible with the next software release.

Our Smell Detection Revolution has just started. Be part of it!

See you soon and thanks again

Viktor, Birte and the whole Smell Inspector Team

Delivery of 2nd Batch of Smell Inspector Developer Kits in preparation! 🖥👃

Dear Smell Inspector community,

we successfully delivered the first batch of the Smell Inspector Developer Kits.

Now the delivery of the second batch of Smell Inspector Developer Kits is in preparation.

In our last update we reported on our quality control process, which was successfully established and now works reliably. Unfortunately, the yield of high-quality detectors for one of the detector types was not sufficient to equip all remaining Kits. Therefore, we started production of a new batch, which is now ongoing. This is the reason why again we have to ask those of our supporters who will get their Kits with a little further delay for their understanding.

We will do our best to finalize all shipments this month.

Delivery of Smell Inspector Developer Kits has started! 🖥👃💪🏼😎

Dear supporters,

today we are very happy to tell you, that

we have started the delivery of the first Smell Inspector Developer Kits!

The quality control has been accomplished for the first batch and is now in its final phase for the remaining Smell Detector Chips. We scaled up and significantly improved this process in the last weeks to meet both our own and our customers' quality expectations. Nonetheless, this important step needs its time, and we ask those of our supporters who will get their Kits with a little delay for understanding.

We are looking forward to providing all of you with our technology and to the further community exchange.

Viktor, Birte and the whole Smell Inspector Team

Christmas is just around the corner - time for presents

Dear supporter community,

the year is coming to an end and Christmas is already around the corner. This year was very exciting for us. In February we started our Kickstarter campaign and reached our funding goal within only 2 hours. Thanks to you, we were able to raise incredible €92,122 in funding. In April we optimized our device and integrated the air flow channel which promises an increase in efficiency of smell detection. In May we delivered the first rewards in the form of the Smell Inspector shirts and masks, and by the end of July we were able to successfully complete the electronics development with extensive testing of Prototype B. Then in August, the biggest challenge for us began, production. Together with our production partner duotec, we drew up the specifications and the bill of materials. The last components, high quality foils for production of our detector chips, have arrived in November. We had to wait a long time for these due to existing delivery problems of our supplier and we are very happy to finally hold them in our hands.

Now we are in the middle of production. The first Smell Inspector devices have already come off the assembly line. The foils are prepared for the printing of the detector chips.

After the end of the Kickstarter campaign in March, the interest in our Smell Inspector Developer Kit continued. We received many more pre-orders via our online shop. The volume of these pre-orders is so impressive that we decided to unlock the Stretch Goal 2 from our Kickstarter campaign (see picture below).

With the Smell Annotator Database we are building an open access platform to which every member of our community may add his/her measurements. The quality of the uploaded measurements will be checked by us. Every supporter who provides us with annotated smell measurements will be granted access to the shared database for smell recognition. We are looking very much forward to building this together!

This is our thank you to the community and Christmas present at the same time.

Now it remains for us to wish you a Merry Christmas and a good start into the year 2022. Our new year starts immediately with a highlight. We will have a booth at the CES 2022 in Las Vegas from January 5th to 8th. Hope to see you in Eureka Park (Booth #61969)!

Stay healthy and see you soon

We are getting closer to the finish line - delivery of Smell Inspector Developer Kits planned for February

In our last update we informed you that we are waiting for the last components.

The high-quality foils for our detectors have now finally arrived!

We have already tested the printing on this foil, and we got really good results! Now, we are finally ready to start production of the Smell iX16 detector chips. Furthermore, production of the electronic components of the Smell Inspector has already started at the production facilities of our manufacturing partner Turck duotec.

Last but not least, development of the analysis and evaluation software Smell Annotator is progressing well. See a sneak preview for the mobile app user interface in the image below.

We are very sorry about the unpleasant situation with material delivery delay which affected so much the start of the delivery of the Smell Inspector developer kits. However, we will now do our best to make all steps in detector chip production and quality control as quickly as possible!

Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Many greetings

Viktor, Birte and the whole Smell Inspector team

Initiating device production, waiting for the last components

Since the end of August, we have been in the phase that poses the greatest challenges for us: production.
Together with our production partner Turck duotec, we have drawn up the specifications and the bill of materials. Now we are in the process of setting up the production line.

At the moment we have difficulties with the supply of materials. Unfortunately, the current worldwide tense situation regarding the availability of raw and auxiliary materials is not leaving us unscathed. Already a few months ago we have ordered special high quality foils which we need for the final production of the Smell iX16 detectors, but unfortunately the delivery times are currently very long. In the meantime we have tested the foils from alternative manufacturers but the quality of their foils was not sufficiently good. This is the reason why we have to wait for the delivery of the high quality foils.

We are doing our best to resolve this supply bottleneck as soon as possible, but as a result we now have to assume that the delivery of the Smell Inspector Developer Kits might be delayed until January.

This news hurts us a lot, because we tried everything to avoid any delays with material delivery.

Keep your fingers crossed for us to move forward quickly.

With kind regards

Viktor, Birte and the whole SmartNanotubes team

Prototyp B successfully tested: electronics development completed! 🖥👃💪🏼😎

We have come a long way in a short time. We have successfully tested our prototype B.

The firmware has been developed and is working, temperature and humidity sensors as well as an air flow channel have been implemented. All functions of the Smell Inspector are mapped and working. The device can read and transmit signals.

The functionality is already very satisfactory. With minimal modifications and adjustments, the device is now ready for production.

The device development is now completed, the production is in preparation.

Look forward to our next update!

“Join the community” rewards are on their way

Today we have shipped our first rewards on time. The Smell Inspector FFP2 masks and Smell Inspector t-shirts for our “Join the community” supporters are on their way.

Meanwhile, we continue to work on testing our prototypes and building our supply chain for the Smell Inspector. Together with Turck duotec our electronic manufacturing partner, we have developed and produced the prototype B of the Smell Inspector device, with all components and complete functionality and are in the process of a trial run. We have ordered the material for the production of the Smell iX16 detector chips, and our gas measuring cell for a large-scale testing of the detector chips is under construction.

In one of our next updates, we will report on our testing of the prototypes.

Stay tuned!

Viktor, Birte and the whole Smell Inspector Team.

Dear Smell Inspector Community,

these last several weeks we have been very busy organizing the production of the Smell Inspector devices and the Smell iX16 detectors. This means that we have secured the delivery of all materials and components, which proved to be really important in these COVID-19 times. Of course, further developments and improvements of our device and the software Smell Annotator took place in parallel.

Today we are happy to communicate to you one of our most important recent improvements: the air flow channel for the inner part of the Smell Inspector (see the picture).

The air flow channel is constructed to lead the air flow from the inlet openings directly to the Smell iX16 detectors and then toward the outlet.

Our measurements confirmed an increase in efficiency of gas detection when using the air flow channel. All Smell Inspector devices will get these additional parts for no additional costs!

We will keep you up to date concerning our further developments.

All the best!

Viktor, Birte and the whole Smell Inspector Team.

Successfully Funded - The Smell Inspector Becomes Reality!

The last 30 days exceeded our expectations. In retrospect, we really achieved amazing things. We have more than tripled our funding goal, build up a large community and the Smell Inspector got featured in large tech portals, press and social media around the world.

What counts most for us: With the successful campaign, we have created the basis for developers, makers, scientists to explore and build smell related applications. This can become a real technical revolution. In the near future we will extend the functionality of machines beyond just seeing and hearing and we will teach them to also smell! Together with you we will bring to the world absolutely new technical solutions and will turn the market completely upside down.

This is just the beginning for the revolution of digitizing the sense of smell!
