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.
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
Lean manufacture
Our academics and consultants can help in determining opportunities for cost effective productivity and efficiency increases, can assist in the reduction of waste from the manufacturing process and increase efficiency of production processes by automation
Simulation of engineering environments
We provide a broad range of consultancy services which draw on a unique combination of systems engineering, operational analysis and technology capabilities
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. The university suggested using a Knowledge Transfer Partnership Scheme to achieve their objectives.
Engineering project could lead to robotic 'guide dogs'
A new project which brings humans and robots together could help firefighters tackle low visibility and, eventually, provide a robotic alternative to guide dogs for visually-impaired people
