Detection, identification and analysis of contamination are crucial steps in resolving suspected physical contaminants in products and processes. Physical contamination can create a very sensitive situation that could threaten product safety, affect product performance, human health and damage brand reputation. For this reason, detecting contaminants in materials by inspecting the sample and site, identifying them,
Ozone disinfection is a type of cleaning that uses ozone to sanitise the environment. Ozone is a very powerful disinfectant that not only attacks the protective layer of bacteria, but also manages to eliminate the molecules and germs that cause bad odours, making it an effective and fast disinfectant that does not damage surfaces. In
Product development projects cannot move forward without evidence that a viable product can be created. This is why a proof of concept (POC) is necessary, proving that a business idea, product or project has a solid foundation on which to start working. Regardless of the industry, a proof of concept will help you assess whether
The use of materials in industry is leading companies that work with them to search for solutions that allow us to have more sustainability with our environments. In Infinitia, from the Materials Innovation team, we work with IMM (in mould microstructuration) technology to achieve this. In this article we explain what it is, its application
As the basis of many industries and at the very root of the Industrial Revolution, metals have supported the development and growth not only of our society, but of civilisation as a whole. From buildings and infrastructure to household appliances, every day we are surrounded by at least eighty different types of metallic materials that
A couple of weeks ago part of the INFINITIA Industrial Consulting team took part in the 31st edition of the Biennial Spanish Machine Tool Exhibition (BIEHM) in Bilbao after 4 years without opening its doors. This interesting exhibition of technological innovations has been held every two years since 1961 and is the third most important
When people think of the concept of design, it is often confused with something merely aesthetic. It is not given importance, it is overlooked or it is thought that it is not essential in the initial phases. In short, it is understood as something that is not indispensable for bringing new products to the market.
Composite materials have better strength, flexibility, toughness or lightness than many traditional materials. A composite material comes from the union of several materials to generate another one with better properties. This is why they have multiple industrial applications. If you want to know what composite materials are, what they are used for, what are the
Benchmarking is a management tool that compares products, processes and techniques with standard or competitor values in order to improve them. In recent times, companies are focusing on improving the product development process. Many forward-looking industries are using new strategies, approaches, processes and technologies to modernise their functions. This is where benchmarking comes in handy.
A substitute product is a similar good that can be used in place of another. They are highly competitive goods that can enhance a brand’s commercial product strategy, both in marketing and in developing improvements. Do you want to know what substitute products are, what the different types are and how they can improve your
The act of making adjustments that make interaction more effective and improve systems is known as process optimisation. Process optimisation is crucial to achieving greater efficiency, regardless of the industry or sector to which it is applied, as improvement techniques are essential for perfecting manufacturing and design tasks. In this article, we will look at
The nutritional data obtained in a food laboratory on the composition of food is of fundamental importance in sectors such as nutrition, the food industry, food regulation, dietetics, health, biodiversity, plant breeding and trade, among others. Thanks to food analysis we can obtain the nutritional value tables that are used in labelling, research or food
