The level we operate at.

Design and integrate a transfer system for a regulated cleanroom environment, retrofitted into a live, heavily space-constrained facility.

Heavy legacy constraints, no room to spare for equipment that still had to be serviceable, and no chance to iterate once in service.

Multi-disciplinary design from concept, CFD through the design phase, and a full 3D scan at the first opportunity — with contingency built in for the highest-risk parts.

Design new production equipment and process areas within existing manufacturing environments — from individual process improvements through to complete new production systems.

The machine is only one part of the problem. Processing equipment, vessels, pipework, utilities, access, hygiene, controls, chemical compatibility and installation all have to work together — often within an existing factory that needs to remain operational.

Integrated proven off-the-shelf components for predictability, validated the design with analysis before build, and prototyped high-risk elements early.

An engineering OEM relied on an established Excel-based calculator containing complex engineering calculations, but needed a dedicated application that was easier to use, maintain and develop.

Rewriting an engineering calculator isn't simply a software exercise. The underlying physics and existing calculation methodology, dependencies and engineering assumptions first have to be understood so that functionality can be reproduced and developed without losing the engineering behind it.

We translated the existing calculation workflow into a dedicated C# application of more than 10,000 lines of code, combining software development with engineering review of the underlying methodology. The new architecture also creates a better foundation for validation, future functionality and continued development than the original spreadsheet-based tool.
