Long Term Manufacturing

Long Term Manufacturing
For decades, factories have designed and manufactured products with a planned obsolescence of n number of years. Economic pressure, banking rules and the philosophy of competing instead of cooperating have done great damage to the planet.
Advances in engineering, design and materials mean that everything we produce can be in service for 20 years or more.
Libera offers funds and quality infrastructure for humanitarian engineers to undertake the manufacture of items without planned obsolescence.
Principles that must be met to opt for financing
- QCR manufacturing will be promoted, financed and supported entirely by Libera.solutions.
- Libera.solutions will create environmentally friendly industrial parks where companies that wish to manufacture products with the QCR Quality seal (Qualitas Costa Rica) can operate, as well as for their suppliers and companies that are integrated into the value chain.
- A quality infrastructure will be created that will support all companies that wish to opt for manufacturing with a quality seal and join the value chain for final products with a QCR quality seal.
- The available quality infrastructure includes:
- Inspection and certification bodies for the approval of plans and designs for mechanical and hydraulic parts, electronic components, materials and emitters of electromagnetic waves.
- Testing and testing laboratories, inspection and certification bodies for mechanical and hydraulic parts, electronic components, materials and emitters of electromagnetic waves.
- Inspection and certification bodies for final products that aspire to the QCR quality seal
- Standardization services for products with the Q seal that will issue the standards for certification and withdrawal of certification.
- Metrology service for companies that opt for manufacturing with the QCR quality seal.
- Test organizations for the quality of final products and their parts that opt for the QCR quality seal.
- Market surveillance organizations for products in service.
Main characteristics of the devices, parts, products and accessories that are manufactured under the QCR quality seal:
- Must be exclude from the design any features that meet the criteria for planned obsolescence. Planned obsolescence will mean a design that is intentionally designed so that the product works for less than 15 years.
- The manufacturer must organize and facilitate the presence in the market of the components, spare parts and replacement parts as well as their consumables for a period of at least 15 years or make plans, designs of the replacement parts, spare parts available to other manufacturers. and consumables.
- The final consumer will be educated to ensure that replacement parts, spare parts and consumables also comply with the QCR quality seal.
- The final product or its components must respect the privacy of its users, any electronic, optical, or software device that sends or stores user information without their consent is totally prohibited.
- When any user information is required for post-sale service purposes, or for remote access, the user must have at their disposal, and in an easy and clear manner, a panel, software or interface in which they can grant or deny the sending of information without this conditioning the guarantee, the after-sales service or the operation of the products.
- All service manuals for products with the QCR seal must be available, updated, free of charge and in the language of the markets in which the product is marketed.
- All electromagnetic and radio frequency emissions in any range of the visible or invisible spectrum must be reported to users, and they must have an easily accessible device for manual and automatic shutdown.
- The electromagnetic and frequency emissions of the products with the QCR quality seal may not contain any hidden code, program or malicious device whose purpose is control, programming, harm to health or alteration of the environment, mind or DNA. of the users.
- El software de los productos con sello de calidad QCR será de código abierto, pudiendo ser mejorado por los usuarios quienes deberán remitir primero los programas o códigos para ser inspeccionados y certificados antes de ser puestos a dispocisión de los usuarios.

- Manufacturers will make available to consumers a website where all final product certifications, replacement parts, components and consumables can be seen transparently by entering QR codes, serial numbers or smart tags.
- To opt for the QCR seal, manufacturing companies must also observe that the suppliers of components and materials comply with the corresponding associated manufacturing regulations as well as the social regulations for all living beings that participate in the value chains.
- To opt for the QCR seal, manufacturers must comply with the eco-environmental manufacturing regulations and organize the recycling of materials once the product has been discarded or has completed its useful life.
- In order to keep products up to date with technological advances, as far as possible, manufacturers will try to create final products and their parts in modular systems, in such a way that modules can be replaced with more modern systems, without having to replace the entire appliance.
