Pilot Roll-Out Plan

The Idle Network OEM Licensing Stack will be rolled-out in the following stages:

Stage 1: IoT Devices

• Target: Smart cameras, gateways, routers.

• Why: High shipment volumes (millions per year), low per-unit integration cost.

• Proof Point: Show that even low-end IoT devices can run Idle Node with <10 KB overhead.

• Example: A home security camera earns $1–2/month in Idle rewards.

Stage 2: Drones

• Target: Agriculture drones, inspection drones.

• Why: Drones have predictable downtime (charging docks).

• Proof Point: Drones can earn during idle time without draining flight battery.

• Example: Agriculture drone runs Idle compute jobs overnight → yields $10/month.

Stage 3: Industrial Robotics

• Target: Warehouse AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), cobots (collaborative robots).

• Why: Huge $1.4T downtime market (Siemens report).

• Proof Point: Robots idle ~20–40% of shift can generate yield while still mission-ready.

• Example: A warehouse AGV contributes spare CPU cycles when docked, earning $50/month.
