Sheffield Hallam University's product and packaging design consultancy group, Design Futures, has proved its commercial focus time and again
Sustainability and process simulation facilities
Those wishing to characterise polymers currently, need to use several analytical techniques to get all the information about a polymer's structure or chemistry
A new product to monitor carbon emissions - Cannon Electrical
We worked with Cannon Electrical Services to produce new software capable of reading real time data on electricity consumption
Kanban
Kanban is often seen as a central element of lean manufacturing and is probably the most widely used type of ‘pull’ signalling system. Kanban was derived from the Japanese language and means 'card-signal'
