Research & Development
通過研發實現創新
研究和創新是KST持續增長的動力。 研發部門有59人負責規劃和實施公司的中長期產品開發戰略。
這包括新產品的開發、新工藝技術（設備）的設計與引進、新材料的應用研究、開發工藝的建設與改進、設計人才的積極培養等。
公司還廣泛運用AUTOCAD、Pro-Engineer、Uni-Graphic、ABAQUS等工程製圖分析軟體和CAD/CAM計算機設計輔助系統，提高產品、模具、夾具的設計製造能力，並引入PLM專案生命週期管理系統，強化產品開發週期和技術數據的管理效率。
KST積累了近50年的產品開發經驗和模具設計的核心專業知識，擁有約30，000種產品和4，000多套模具。 憑藉專業的經驗，資源和服務，我們在這裡處理您的設計或合作開發新的設計。 KST是您理想的工程和製造合作夥伴。
產品聚焦
公司產品線從端子、連接器、扎帶系列不斷拓展，包括太陽能接線盒、電動汽車充電槍、不鏽鋼扎帶、熱縮管、壓接設備、手持壓接工具，用於汽車電纜組、通信設備部件等更廣泛的領域。
高級產品質量規劃
Phase 1
Planning and Program Definition
Evaluation, Prototype Control Plan
KST is IATF 16949 certified and utilizes Advanced Product Quality Planning to manage its workflow. It defines a process for the introduction of a new product with a minimal amount of risk.
When a customer requires the introduction of a new product or the redesign of a mature one, preliminary planning becomes essential, even before discussions of product design or redesign. In this APQP phase, planning is directed at understanding the customer’s needs and product expectations.
Planning activities include collecting key data to prospectively define what the customer wants and through collaborative discussion further solidify product characteristics.
Ultimately, the output from this phase of work results in the delivery of project scope (design, reliability, and quality goals), project resources, and project timing being identified.
Phase 2
Design and Development of a Product
Tooling Design & Manufacture, DFMEA
Design and development of a product, or production design change becomes the focus activity. At this time Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) created in support of the design activity.
Resulting outcomes from work in this phase include:
- Completed design review and verification
- Defined material specifications and equipment requirements
- Completed Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA) to assess failure probabilities
- Established control plans for product prototype creation
Phase 3
Design and Development of Process
Tooling Manufacture & Trial, PFMEA
This phase focuses on planning the manufacturing process that will produce the new or improved product. The goal is to design and develop the production process while keeping product specifications, product quality, and production costs in mind. The process must be able to produce the quantities needed to meet expected consumer demand while maintaining efficiency.
Examples of outcomes in this phase include:
- A completed process flow configuration
- A completed process failure mode and effect analysis to identify and deal with risks
- Operational process quality specifications
- Product finishing and packaging requirements
Phase 4
Validation of the product
ISIR | MSA | PPAP | Product Control Plan
Validation of the product, process, or any changes to the production process is being made. At this point, a significant production run takes place which is used to collect information to confirm the that resulting product and process have the potential to produce the conforming product at the required rate, under normal production conditions. Also, the product quality planning activities culminate in the customer approval activity often referred to as the Product Part Approval Process (PPAP). Successful PPAP flags the project as being fit for entering into production.
Steps in this phase include:
- Confirming capability and reliability of the manufacturing process and product quality acceptance criteria.
- Performing production trial runs
- Testing product output to confirm the effectiveness of the deployed manufacturing approach
- Reconciling needed adjustments before moving to the next phase
Phase 5
Feedback, Assessment and Corrective Action
Internal Quality Audit & Improvement Activities
Continuous improvement of the product and process with a focus on improvement in safety, quality, delivery and costs.
