Excellent news. AutoTRIBE Perth has announced that they will be looking to purchase 50 pairs of the ORION sunshade from us at Fledge Technology. AutoTRIBE will also be coming on board as our new partner!
Our new prototype is inspired by traditional Bamboo cutting. Now with a slanted interface, our sleek repurposed look works to encompass more superior functionality. When installed on the windscreen, users can easily locate, handle and interact with the essential parts of ORION.
We are excited to announce our recent Scholarship fund from the @CityOfCockburn to attend the @CurtinIgnition Entrepreneurship Program!

Technology makes crazy things possible. Here are ORION sunshades, a 2020 invention, sitting next to an accordion sunshade (a manual sunshade invented in 1910). Imagine: an automated sunshade that takes up less than 1/3 of the storage space.
Ever wonder what it feels like to be the coolest car at the parking lot? ORION prototypes were at a local public parking facility today, and they definitely turned many heads.
You know your startup product/solution is in the "Schlep Blindness" quadrant, if you hear people saying to you: βthis is not going to work. This is already a solved problem, why are you spending your time here?".
Facebook, Uber, iPhone, Zoom are here.

Today we took our prototypes to meet with the first roadshow customer, a major dealership in southern part of WA (we had no idea, until we arrived at their massive car yard!). It is great to establish new relationships before launching this novel product into the market!
Codename: Stringray!
Why the name? This is ORION robotic sunshade prototype with the biggest reflector size (yet). Importantly, our new robot design can fold and expand it in under 7 seconds.
We are proud to have participated in this MVP accelerator program, working and collaborating with amazing and dedicated Arc staff and mentors. Everyone's laser engraved logo looks great too!
As we begin to wrap up the final weeks for our #accelerator participants they have joined Arc's wall of startup #Alumni. So far Arc has helped 26 #startups with our MVP and Post accelerator programs. We are in the process of our final intake for 2020 head to our website to apply!
95 percent of typical car's life time is spent being parked. Things like fuel, maintenance, and accessories we bought are for the remaining 5% driving time.
Except for interior protection device like sunshade. It is useful during that 95% parking time!
QUESTION: how did you commute today?
Probably by car. That is a decision also made by >6 million Australians every day
When parking under the sun for 40 to 50 hours a week, do you use sunshade to protect your car interior? That is another important decision only you can make
Fun fact: In a 2016 census, approximately 7.2 million people in Australia commuted to work by private car. 85% did not share with anyone. Most of these cars end up outdoor, baking under the sun for 40+ hours a week, or hundreds of hours per year. No escaping the sun!
"One Touch" feature: where ORION user presses the button once and the robot does the rest.
Daily pains from manually unfolding and folding car windscreen sunshade is a thing of the past!

Shading your car interior from thr damaging sun and UV does not have to take minutes, and it certainly does not have to be a daily morning chore.
With ORION Robotic sunshade, you can do it mere seconds, and without breaking a sweat.
We will be submitting a new hardware idea to help prevent spread of Covid19 to help accelerate the restart of society and economy.
