ABOUT APPROACH LABS SECTORS CASE STUDIES NEWS CONTACTS EN Industrial High performing industrial design. Developing efficient industrial products requires expertise on many levels. Not only in the design, testing and prototyping, but also an understanding of the necessary legislation and certifications. Our industrial design consultants can help identify the best performing solutions, while also maintaining a focus on the bigger picture. Creating successful designs for manufacturing and assembly requires a controlled and staged approach. Firstly questioning the expected outcome to accurately define parameters, secondly gaining insight on the market to tailor that activity. Equally important is the prototyping stage, where time, cost and number of iterations are critical. Industrial and B2B products and services must offer high levels of quality and reliability. Cost reduction and efficiency are key, therefore development must focus on expected production volumes and total cost of ownership. Only by considering all stages of the product and service lifecycle, can a long term cost-effective outcome be achieved. Utilising cross-sector insight and knowledge of the latest design trends, our industrial design consultants can refine your product development ideas. This unique approach is what helps our clients achieve robust and cost-effective results.

The combination of Big Data, AI and virtual sensors is playing an key role in the creation of insights in the next generation industry. Circular Economy An increasing number of companies are vigorously embracing Circular Economy principles and practices, such as zero carbon footprint processes and production waste management. Such policies, in turn, are starting to have a measurable impact on consumers’ choices that needs to be taken into account. Connectivity and IoT Connectivity and IoT technology are a key part of Industry 4.0. They provide a channel for large amounts of data and open the door to real-time monitoring and control. Industrial Clients Case studies 3D Printed Production Parts Additive manufacturing offers new opportunities for development and production, but we must first meet the application requirements. A Full Reliability Concept Improving medical disposables reliability through NDT requires a system capable of high-speed testing without compromising the product. Composite Structures Using state of the art techniques we have designed a new material: easy to transport and capable of replacing steel and concrete. #THINKINNOVATION FOLLOW BLUETHINK ON LINKEDIN Milan – Italy Via Fabio Filzi 5 20124 – Milan +39 (0)239 521 100 info@bluethink.it Turin – Italy Piazza San Carlo 197 10123 – Turin +39 (0)1119 825 335 info@bluethink.it Bologna – Italy Viale Masini 12/14 40126 – Bologna +39 (0)239 521 100 info@bluethink.it Warwick – UK Warwick Innovation Centre CV34 6UW +44 (0)1926 293 685 info@bluethink.co.uk ABOUT APPROACH LABS SECTORS CASE STUDIES NEWS CONTACTS © 2019 BlueThink S.p.A. ∙ P.IVA 10120610018 ∙ Privacy Policy ∙ Cookie Policy ∙ Credits We use cookies to optimize our website and our service.
