Process Optimization

Process Optimization Consulting

We don't just work with materials and products at the lab-scale. We always consider processing routes when we're helping you to develop new products or improve existing ones. Process optimization is an essential step towards continuous improvement of existing products and services, increasing resource efficiencies and inspiring new ideas.

Expert guidance at your disposal - our services

At Lucideon, we can help you to optimize your processes to ensure yields are consistent, and that waste and failures are kept to an absolute minimum. Process optimization services include:

  • Lab-scale testing of materials and products to ensure they are production-ready
  • Development of a new manufacturing / processing line or making changes to an existing one
  • Troubleshooting to determine what is causing issues during processing
  • Raw material / component acceptance testing through spot audits or routine testing
  • Validation of new material supplies and process changes to ensure specifications are met
  • Scale-up of a technology from lab through to pilot and onto manufacturing scale

 

 

Example areas of application

We apply our process optimization expertise in a wide variety of contexts. A few examples are in ceramic manufacturing, pharmaceutical powder processing, and we are also currently working in the area of Additive Manufacturing (AM), helping manufacturers to improve processes, thereby reducing risk and improving process yield. Why not let us see if we can help you?
