OurPet’s Company’s (OPCO) Partnership with Aplix will Catalyze New Innovations in the Pet Tech Space
The recent announcement by OurPet’s Company (OTCQX: OPCO) of a new strategic partnership with the Japanese software developer, Aplix IP Holdings Corp., shows that the Fairport Harbor, Ohio, company is exploring new frontiers in the pet technology market. Just as new digital technologies have expanded and are continuing to expand our capabilities, they are opening up new possibilities for our pets.
There are existing pet tech devices on the market currently, allowing you to stay in complete contact with your pets. One of the most basic pet tech devices is, of course, a GPS tracker. A tracker can substantially reduce the amount of time you spend in a state of anxious insecurity regarding your pet’s whereabouts. Then, if you want to see where your dog goes (and who doesn’t?) there’s a company that makes a harness fitted with a camera. As pet-parents become more comfortable with new technologies for themselves, it’s apparent they will want to extend their application to the pet members of the family.
Social media is not only for pet-parents. You may have your Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) account. Your dog can have a homepage on Pack. Pack allows you or your dog, it’s not clear which, to ‘connect with your pack’. If you have a Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) account, why don’t you get one for your canine? Puppy Tweets is an electronic dog tag that sends messages to your home computer, and then Tweets to you. Welcome to a brave new world!
The technology that may help OurPet’s Company get a paw-hold in these lucrative markets may be the WirelessIDEA platform. Aplix IP Holdings Corp. showcased its WirelessIDEA software-based technology for machine to machine (M2M) applications at the International CTIA Wireless IT & Entertainment trade show in San Diego back in October 2009. WirelessIDEA provides tools that enable rapid development of M2M applications. Aplix is well-known for its JBlend, a Java Micro Edition (Java ME) platform for embedded software, which has been installed in close to three-quarters of a billion devices worldwide.
This sort of innovation is nothing new to OurPet’s Company. The company has a history of developing bright ideas. Its first was the introduction of the Big Dog Feeder, which made it easier for big dogs to eat by elevating the feeding bowl – low tech, but effective. The Big Dog Feeder has, over the years, enjoyed great success, but OurPet’s Company isn’t the sort of outfit to rest on its laurels. Its founder is an enterprising dynamic engineer who has been elected to the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Today, the company actually sells more toys for pets than feeding products. In recent years, OurPet’s Company has been growing at twice the rate of the industry. Since 2010, it has had an annual compounded growth rate of about 6%. That seems very likely to increase as OurPet’s Company gears up in pet tech.
