Rapid design and high volume supply of face visor PPE

FAC科技已经成功地设计和制造了面罩PPE产品，目前已向医院、大学和企业供应了数万台。这一扩展将从三个方面改善该项目的产品、供应和商业成功：可持续和负责任的创新我们的面罩由三个组件组成：头带、屏幕和背带。然而，现有的大多数产品都是不可生物降解的，由石油材料制成。FAC技术面罩使用一种生物衍生材料作为屏幕材料，这一扩展将使其他组件，如发带和背带的开发，也可以用环保的生物衍生材料注射成型。SupplyFAC Technology的扩张建立了现有的供应链，生产能力约为每周5,000台。这一延期将使在模具方面的投资能够使产能达到每周5万台左右，极大地扩展英国供应链，并展示一条进一步扩大规模的途径。所有零部件已经并将继续在英国设计和制造，除了B2B销售之外，FAC科技还将发展商业模式和商业开发，希望对所有消费者采取大规模销售的方式。亚马逊和eBay是首选的销售渠道，但要在其市场上注册品牌，产品/公司必须有进一步的知识产权保护(例如商标)。这一拨款延期将有助于建立这一分销渠道，这对FAC技术公司来说是全新的。

FAC Technology have successfully designed and manufactured a face visor PPE product, with tens of thousands of units now having been supplied to hospitals, universities, and businesses. This extension will improve the product, supply and commercial success of the project in three ways:Sustainable and Responsible Innovation Our faceshield is comprised of three components: headband, screen and strap. However, the majority of the existing products are non-biodegradable and made from petroleum based materials. The FAC Technology faceshield utilises a bioderived material for the screen material, and this extension will enable the development of the other components, the headband and strap, to also be injection moulded from environmentally friendly, bioderived, materials. Expansion of SupplyFAC Technology has established an existing supply chain with a production capacity of about 5,000 units/week. This extension will enable the investment in tooling to take the production capacity into the region of 50,000 units per week, greatly expanding the UK supply chain, and demonstrate a pathway to further scale up. All components have been, and will continue to be, designed and manufactured in the UKDevelopment of business model and commercial exploitation In addition to B2B sales, FAC Technology would like to adopt mass selling approach for all consumers. Amazon and eBay are the preferred sales channels, but to be brand registered on their marketplaces the product/ company must have further IP protection in place (e.g. Trademarks). This grant extension will facilitate setting up this distribution channel, which is something completely new for FAC Technology.
