Unique multi-use notepad presented in Yerevan
YEREVAN, July 21. /ARKA/. EcoPad, a unique multi-use notepad, made by Technology and Science Dynamics (TSD), has been presented in one of bookshops in Yerevan.
Vahan Shakaryan, founder and director of the company, said the notepad has been created by a group of Armenian engineers for six months.
«We are trying to care of environment, and therefore EcoPad is made of recycled paper,» he said.
In his words, similar notepads produced in Europe are more expensive – they cost €250, and US made notepads $150 to 180, while the Armenian product cost only 13,000 drams.
Arpine Amiryan, project manager at TSD, presented the product in details – it is possible to remove contents of notepad by heat treatment thanks to a unique technology.
«You can remove what is written in the notepad by placing it in microwave oven with a cup of water above it to retain humidity,» she said. «In four minutes all notes in the notepad vanish. You can do the same ten times.»
In her words, notes can be removed also by blow dryer. There is also a special pen, Frixion, which has a special eraser.
Amiryan also said that a special application makes it possible to save notes in mobile phones.
«There is QR code at the bottom of pages,» she said. «Our application, which is available for free in Android and iOS, reads out the code and scans sheets of paper saving the received data as JPG image. »
The project manager said told a Novosti-Armenia correspondent after the presentation that EcoPad notepads are planned to be exported abroad.
«The bulk of our products are already being sold at foreign markets,» she said. «Russia's market is among our priorities, but we have no intention to be limited to just Russia, we already have office in Sweden.
Besides, we are going to sell our products also via online services.»
Amiryan said that it is not known so far at what price the new product would be sold abroad, but pointing out sales of smartphones, said that prices will not differ significantly at least in Russia.
She refrained from answering a question about cost price of EcoPad and the quantity produced saying it is a corporate secret.
Technology and Science Dynamics appeared in Armenia in 2013 presenting the first Armenian tablet ArmTab and the first Armenian smartphone ArmPhone to local consumers.
Later, the company registered in the free economic zone and started releasing products not only for domestic consumption, but also for foreign markets.
According to preliminary data, $3 million has been invested in production of Armenian tablets. ---0---
