Lean manufacture
Our academics and consultants help client determine opportunities for cost effective productivity and efficiency increases, assist in the reduction of waste from the manufacturing process and increase efficiency of production processes by automation
Materials Consultancy
Our consultancy team has an excellent track record of working with industry to find solutions in a short deadline and to a high standard. We draw upon the latest thinking generated through our research and our hands on experience of working in industry.
Ceramics and glass
With significant expertise in materials characterisation methods we can solve industrial problems in a wide range of materials systems, using the state-of-the-art analysis techniques available in the Research Institute.
Materials Analysis
We deliver materials analysis services to all industries which have materials based needs. All services are provided by experts from within Sheffield Hallam University, using a range of state-of-the-art instruments and techniques
Process Modelling and Simulation
If you are looking to improve processes in order to maximise service levels to your customers, reduce operating costs or eliminate bottlenecks, but need to understand what the impacts of these changes before implementing them, process modelling and simulation could be the perfect solution
Stainless steel processor and distributor achieves CE approval
BS Stainless Steel wanted their products to achieve CE approval. With the help of our dedicated team, they were able to secure a grant from the Manufacturing Advisory Services towards the approval process.
Mathematical Modelling and Analysis of a Height Safety System
Cable Safe approached us via the Sheffield Innovation Programme (SIP) with a request to determine the stability and strength characteristics of a new outdoor safety system that it was developing for a client, as well as to conduct detailed analysis on an existing system.
Accelerated Weathering Testing
We conducted an accelerated weathering test to deduce the durability of a fabric material when exposed to extreme temperatures.
Process Simulation Modelling of Dormer Tools (Sheffield) Ltd
Dormer Tools Sheffield Ltd, a large local tool manufacturer, requested the help of the university to understand areas for improvement of efficiencies in both of their manufacturing plants.
