The main achievements include: significant refinements in our operational processes. This includes meticulous adjustments aimed at optimizing every facet of our processing line, leading to notable increases in processing rates. These enhancements culminated in the successful engineering design and setup of our pre-industrial line. Progress has also been made in the development of automated control system production software to optimize the overall line function and an AI-based system for quality control. Minor adjustments are being made for final tuning.
In parallel, we have conducted a comprehensive field testing program of our product to create a range of innovative concrete-based market ready prototypes for various applications such as pavements, tunnel shotcrete, and UHPC precast elements. Collaborating closely with industrial customers, we conducted a series of field tests in their facilities to validate product performance in terms of lifetime and durability, using industrial steel fibers as a reference. Laboratory testing has rigorously assessed product specifications, including dynamic and static load-bearing, ensuring compliance with EU standards and norms.
Building upon these outcomes, technical data sheets for our steel fibers are currently being developed, and efforts are underway to secure essential product certifications, such as CE marking, LCA, and EPD.
On the other hand, we are actively working on safeguarding our technology through a patent strategy. This entails identifying and filing patents for key aspects of our innovation, aiming to protect our intellectual property and secure our competitive position in the market for the long term.
