Applied research
Needs analysis, material selection, assessment of technical constraints, risk mapping and feasibility evaluation.
XALPES RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
XALPES is an independent hub for strategic research and technological development, located at the heart of Austin’s innovation ecosystem. We support companies, investors and industrial organizations in the design, evaluation and industrialization of new products. Our activities cover applied research, technical testing, process development, material qualification and support through market introduction.
Research-first engineering
Every project begins with the analysis of the real need, the assessment of technical constraints and the identification of risks. This approach makes it possible to transform an idea, patent or concept into a product, process or technology ready for evaluation, development and industrialization.
Needs analysis, material selection, assessment of technical constraints, risk mapping and feasibility evaluation.
Design, prototyping, process development and technical optimization with a focus on industrialization.
Design and execution of testing programs, material qualification, performance analysis and generation of technical data.
TECHNICAL TESTING & VALIDATION
XALPES develops and implements testing protocols designed to characterize the performance, reliability and conformity of products under development. The resulting data helps guide technical decisions, reduce industrial risks and prepare qualification and certification phases when required.
Design and implementation of testing protocols, performance evaluation, results analysis and generation of technical data to support product development and informed decision-making.
Preparation of technical files, test reports, risk assessments and development documentation to ensure traceability of completed work and support evaluation, qualification and industrialization phases.
Selected work
Examples of projects developed or coordinated by XALPES in the fields of innovation, protective systems and technology platforms.
Emergency mask designed to help reduce the inhalation of radioactive dust during short-duration movement. Product development, material selection, testing protocols and validation strategy.
Study, design and structuring of a disruptive system intended to simplify access to business services, commercial exchanges and administrative operations through an integrated architecture combining organization, technology and automation.
Disposable protective mask concept for short-duration movement in radioactive dust risk scenarios.
First XALPES development
NBC-1 is the first documented development from XALPES: a single-use protective mask designed to help reduce the inhalation of radioactive dust during short-duration movement.
Operating method
Each program follows a structured approach based on needs analysis, technical development, performance validation and the generation of documented technical data.
Understanding the need, assessing technical constraints, identifying risks and defining objectives.
Development of technical solutions, material selection, prototyping and concept optimization.
Testing, measurement, performance analysis and generation of technical data.
Technical documentation, process control and preparation for subsequent development phases.
