CONCEPT.
KS Research and Development, is a service to companies and professional organizations that seek to deepen the use of natural matter, specifically, forestry, agricultural, marine and mineral waste, from a specific geographical area as the client’s nerve center.
GOAL.
Development of a viable prototype or demonstrative example based on a specific design, which serves as a reference for the methodology that the client will implement in its production chain.
- Study cases. Developed systems. Improvements and updates of old methods with the aim of improving current commissioning.
- TheKSGallery. Development of exclusive products based on the client’s market study.
PROTOCOL.
The service is structured according to the “HCE” course protocol, adapted as follows.
- Demand for the service by the client. The client has two strategies to follow in his market research.
- Strategy 1.- Check the possibilities of the available natural resources to decide which product to invest efforts in.
- Strategy 2.- Assess whether you can continue producing an already established design, using your local natural resources.
- Diagnosis of local natural resources. The client will provide KS with significant samples of the natural materials available in its local area, according to the protocol established by KS for the specific case in relation to particle size, weight and volume. Likewise, for each case, KS will inform the client of the estimated time for the diagnosis of said matter, which is usually established in a range of between three and fifteen days.
- Design and development of compounds. Based on a pre-established design by the client, KS will develop composite samples with different binders in order to show as wide a range of design possibilities and feasibility. The estimated time for this operation takes place over the course of 30 business days. Link to KS Bio-Composites.
- Prototype creation. This process is carried out directly by the client with the close collaboration and direction of KS. The result is a viable prototype that collects information on different manufacturing methods, from manual methods to technological aids to production, so that the client can adapt their human, technical and financial efforts.
- Training of human resources involved in the production process. Training of human resources involved in marketing.
