Developing techniques and digital solutions

We bring our expertise in science, technology, data science, mathematical modelling, and manufacturing processes – from personalisation to product development, carbonation to thermal and non-thermal preservation, vending and dispensing systems to ingredient innovation and sustainable solutions– to bear in reducing costs, minimising waste, maximising uptime, scaling production and increasing efficiency.

We do this through benchmarking capabilities, partner identification, developing focussed yet multi-faceted R&D strategy, building technical roadmaps to deliver on those strategies, and creating experimental programmes that are scoped to better meet client needs and provide the greatest chance of success. 

Our expertise in techniques and digital solutions for modelling and creating design rules is proving invaluable to leading manufacturer clients by making sense of the range of tools, techniques, and digital solutions to manage and operate global assets and, by leveraging this capability, we help transform benchtop experiments into pilots and full-scale production.

We're also well-placed to help organisations understand the practical methods for monitoring quality on the production line, tying quality assurance parameters to desired product attributes, and increasing food safety, line up-time through automation of QC measures. Our collaborative approach ensures teams are better able to react quickly, to deliver new product developments while also mitigating the risk of losing momentum and allowing challenger brands to gain market share.
