Market study for device to improve non-destructive testing of material samples.

需要进行的工作市场分析独立顾问将被要求：对产品进行SWOT分析。确定市场上是否有竞争的解决方案/产品。3. 确定产品中可能阻碍相关市场“接受”的任何障碍或差距，从而阻止任何进一步的技术开发。确定产品的横向和纵向市场机会，包括：每个市场的财务规模；产品在每个市场的预期效益；每个市场对产品需求的评估。建议进入市场的最佳途径，以实现回报最大化，包括但不限于：确定至少3家英国制造公司，并了解他们如何对制造服务收费；在不同的地理区域确定至少10个潜在的销售许可人，并获得他们对一个单位的可能零售价格的看法。将鼓励顾问进行横向思考，以确定产品和市场机会，但至少需要研究受益人一节中概述的机会/市场。与此同时，该设备的单元将在高达10,000 psi / 60 mpa的压力下制造和测试样品。我们预计关键问题将是设备的材料/衬底是否足够坚固以承受高压。如果是这样，我们计划公布我们的结果，这将建立信誉和兴趣的设备。它将如何影响我们的理解？市场研究将为NERC和NOC提供最佳的信息组合，以判断需要进一步的发展，如果有的话，以及进入市场的最佳途径，包括确定3家潜在的英国制造公司和按地理和行业划分的相关市场最合适的销售许可人。地理区域应包括非洲、亚洲、澳大利亚、欧洲、拉丁美洲和加勒比、中东、北美、俄罗斯独联体和南美。该设备的测试将告知是否需要进行任何修改。它将如何帮助我们拟议的后续项目的发展和执行？市场分析将告知：-1。设备/产品的商业案例-停止/继续；2. 2 .我们是否需要以及如何开发设备/产品以满足特定的被许可人/最终用户需求；规划和发展最佳的市场路线/许可计划。我们预计测试成功，因此关键是找到最合适的制造和销售许可证，我们预计不需要NERC进一步的资本投资，因为NOC企业团队将能够协助我们完成这项任务。

The work to be undertakenMarket AnalysisThe independent consultant will be required to:-1. Conduct a SWOT analysis on the Product.2. Identify whether there are any competing solutions/products in the market. 3. Identify any barriers or gaps within the Product that may prevent 'take-up' by the relevant market and hence any further technology development required.4. Identify the horizontal and vertical market opportunities for the Product, including: financial size of each market; expected benefits of the Product for each market; assessment of the demand for the Product by each market.5. Recommend the best route to market to maximise returns including but not limited to: identify at least 3 UK manufacturing companies and obtain an understanding of how they charge for their manufacturing services; identify at least 10 potential sales licensees across different geographic regions and obtain their views on the likely retail price of a unit.The consultant will be encouraged to think laterally to identify product and market opportunities but it would be required at the very least to research the opportunities/markets summarised in the Beneficiaries section.Laboratory testing In parallel, units of the device will be manufactured and tested on samples at pressures up to 10,000 psi / 60 mpa. We anticipate the key issue will be whether the material/substrate of the device is sufficiently robust to withstand the high pressure. If so, we plan to publish our results which will build credibility and interest in the device.How will it inform our understanding?The market research will provide NERC and NOC with the optimum mix of information to judge what further development is required, if any, and the best routes to market including identifying 3 potential UK manufacturing companies and the most appropriate sales licensees for the relevant market by geography and sector. Geographic regions should include Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America and Caribbean, Middle East, North America, Russia CIS and South America. The testing of the device will inform whether any modifications need to be made.How it will help shape the development and execution of our proposed Follow-on project?The market analysis will inform:-1. The Business Case for the device/product - Stop/Go; 2. Whether and how we need to develop the device/product to meet specific licensee/end-user requirements;3. The planning and development of the best routes to market/licensing plan.We anticipate successful testing and so the key will be to find the most appropriate manufacture and sales licensees which we anticipate wouldn't require further capital investment from NERC as the NOC enterprise team would be able to assist us in this task.
