Design and New Product Introduction Processes
Key Technologies assists in the efficient design of new products. Key’s prototyping capabilities add competitive value by reducing time to market with complete user insight, design, build, analysis, and testing services offered under one roof. Cross-functional teams drive customer’s design through an integrated, research and design service to effectively build and test innovative customer ideas enabling proof-of-concept.
Value engineering is applied to optimise product design, performance, reliability, quality, manufacturing, and lifecycle cost outcomes to ensure excellence. Key’s engineering team actively collaborates throughout the entire product creation cycle, with focus that ensures the best design, manufacturability, cost and design choices are made at every step.
Key Technologies provides qualified technical advice to optimise raw material selection complimenting equipment, process sourcing and development.
Quality Management
Quality is an underlying strategic approach of Key Technologies with a zero-tolerance approach to defects. Key operates under a regime of detailed process control plans and integrated failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) reporting. This approach is complimented by industry-recognised quality certifications; ISO 9001 quality systems. Beyond the certification, Key provide customised testing and validation for each and every product variant.
Inline quality testing features spark testers, visual micrometres and fully automated vision fault recognition systems. These systems enable all output to be scanned and assessed in comparison to customer specified tolerances.
Accredited Manufacturing Facilities
Key Technologies applies extensive expertise, with more than twenty years of manufacturing experience, to materials development and qualification, process validation and supply chain integration.
Key’s advanced manufacturing facilities operate 24 x 7 ensuring customer requirements are consistently met. Utilising state of the art European and in-house developed winding machines, product is efficiently tailored to customer’s unique requirements.
Extrusion processing is enhanced through operational capacity and batch sizing with the ability to process all primary sheathing materials. Customising spool lengths, wall thicknesses and terminal attachments are also available. The Product Specification page details manufacturing parameters, head there now for more information.
