We cannot be full-time inventors

Nothing is more satisfying than working on solutions to complicated problems. Customers know where to find us and how to challenge us. It’s in our DNA to be inventors. To work on ideas and to keep going until we succeed.?
At Artidor it makes us happy, we draw, calculate, build and test until things work. But that in itself is a pitfall. Before we know it, we’re only working on complicated new problems, while our existing products also need to be manufactured. That’s why we created an ‘invention calendar’. It contains all our ideas and every month we decide together what we will be working on. This means working in a structured way, avoiding hopping from one good idea to another. And running the risk of, in our enthusiasm, working on so many ideas at the same time that none of them is truly finished to the last detail. Because fair is fair: a good idea is only really good if the end product actually works and contributes to an explosion safe working environment for our customers.
It’s fantastic to see how Artidor is pushing the envelope with innovative explosion-safe solutions! It’s clear that your team is deeply committed to tackling complex challenges and bringing new ideas to life. As a tech startup specializing in patents for lawyers, we often see the crucial role of meticulous management in transforming groundbreaking ideas into successful products. Balancing creativity with practical considerations is key to not just inventing, but also ensuring these innovations meet regulatory standards and fulfill market needs. Looking forward to diving into your article to learn more about how you navigate this exciting yet demanding process. Keep up the great work, and here’s to more innovations that make a real difference!
