Computer keyboards are a vital input device for both personal and professional use. With the increasing demand for computers, there is a corresponding demand for keyboards. NeuSource Startup Minds India Ltd. can cater to this demand and meet the repair and maintenance needs of existing computers. Here is everything that startup founders and businessmen need to know about computer keyboards:
Computers are indispensable in every aspect of modern life.
The keyboard is a popular type of input device used to communicate with the main computer.
Due to the ever-increasing use of computers, keyboards are in high demand.
NeuSource Startup Minds India Ltd. is able to service and maintain existing computers to meet this need.
The keyboard is used for data entry, document creation/editing, browsing, and interacting with the computer.
A good keyboard should offer smooth travel to the touch without jamming and should be able to mount firmly without any flexing.
The keyboard should also be free of key bounce and have keys properly and uniformly spaced for easy use.
NeuSource Startup Minds India Ltd. can provide keyboards that operate on power derived from the computer, have indelibly marked keys, and correspond to the interface option available with the computer.
Normally keyboards of 107 to 108 keys (WIN 98/2000 version) are presently catering to the demand of the computer industry.
However, keyboards with 111 keys are also being used for multimedia applications.
It is recommended that the promoter of NeuSource Startup Minds India Ltd. has basic qualifications in computers and information processing.
Recommended qualifications include any graduate in computer science/engineering, a diploma in electronics/electrical/computer science, or any graduate with a certification in hardware technology/software applications.
The entrepreneur can also obtain training and guidance from the National Institute of Electronics & Information Technology and IIHT.
Recent years have seen an explosive expansion in India's computer hardware and software sectors.
The hardware business as a whole has grown by about 15% annually over the past decade, and that's without counting software expansion.
Because of the increasing reliance on computers for efficient and timely reporting, analysis, and expansion, the computer hardware and software business is on an upward trajectory.
While touchscreen data inputs are becoming more common, demand for keyboards will continue to fuel the sector for specialised keyboards.
Considering the growth and demands of micro and personal computers in the country, there is a good demand for computer keyboards in the country.
The major requirement of computer keyboards for the computer industry is presently met by the small-scale sector.
It is estimated that more than 80% of the production of computer keyboards is in the SSI sector.
The demand for computer keyboards is estimated to be of the order of more than 20, 00,000 Nos. per annum.
There may be about 30-50 good units in this sector producing more than 10, 00,000 keyboards per annum.
The rest of the demand is met through imports.
NeuSource Startup Minds India Ltd. can meet this demand and reduce reliance on imports.
Video game consoles, calculators, cash registers, and other devices typically use a membrane keyboard, which is a multi-layer plastic or rubber arrangement used as a keyboard.
To carry electricity between rows and columns, two rubber or plastic sheets are utilised.
A third sheet with strategically placed perforations separates the row and column sheets.
By pressing the key cap, the row conductor sheet is pushed through the opening and into contact with the column conductor sheet.
When a row conductor sheet's lines meet a column conductor sheet's lines, a key contact is created.
The keyboard interface takes this to mean that a key has been pressed and released.
Keyboards typically contain 108 keys, while 111-key boards are common in multimedia programmes.
The electricity for the keyboard comes from the computer itself.
A high-quality keyboard has keys that don't bounce when pressed and have a smooth, unobstructed trip to the touch.
The keys on a good keyboard should be comfortably spaced apart.
Keyboards typically have keys for typing, navigating the cursor, entering numbers, accessing various functions, and other specialised uses.
The process of manufacturing a keyboard involves the following steps:
Electronic Circuitry Assembly: The electronic circuitry is assembled on a printed circuit board using ICs, transistors, diodes, and passive components. The performance of the circuit is tested.
Mechanical Sub-Assembly: The membrane cable and rubber keyboards are fixed on the base plate as per the design. The key buttons have indelible markings for their function.
Integration: The electronic and mechanical subassemblies are integrated by aligning the appropriate contact points on the membrane.
Enclosure: The whole assembly is enclosed in an appealing silicone/plastic case.
Performance Testing: The completed keyboard is tested for performance as per the relevant specification.
Packing: The tested keyboards are packed well in cardboard packing cases to withstand shock and vibration during transportation and handling.
There will be a 12-month period of implementation for the keyboard manufacturing project.
Implementation might take as little as 6-8 months if funding could be secured.
The production and shipment of equipment and machinery represent the most time-consuming aspect of this project's execution.
The factory building may be acquired or rented with minimal effort, speeding up the rollout.
The production capacity has been calculated based on a single shift basis at 75% efficiency.
The maximum capacity utilization for 300 days a year on a single shift basis, with 60% and 80% capacity utilization in the first and second years of operation, respectively.
Salaries, wages, raw materials, utilities, rents, and other costs are based on assumed rates for calculation purposes, and these factors may vary with time and location.
Interest on term loans and working capital loans is assumed to be 16% on average, but this rate may vary depending on the policy of financial institutions/agencies.
The cost of machinery and equipment is based on a particular make/model, and the prices are approximate.
The break-even point percentage is based on full capacity utilization.
Project preparation costs can be considered under pre-operative expenses.
It has been determined what kinds of production machinery and testing equipment will be needed for the project, and the unit may also make use of shared testing facilities at ETDCs and ERTLs established by State Governments and STQC Directorate of the Department of Information Technology, Ministry of Communication and Information Technology.
MSME & GST registration, IEC Code for Export of end products, and local authority clearance may be required for Shops and Establishment, for Fire and Safety requirements and registration for ESI, PF, and Labour laws may be required as applicable.
Entrepreneurs may contact State Pollution Control Board wherever it is applicable.
NeuSource Startup Minds India Ltd. can help with MSME & GST registration, IEC Code for Export, and local authority clearance.
As forward integration and expansion, entrepreneurs may think of going for the production of desktop computers, mouse, etc.
