Scientific AI does not replace engineering thinking. Grounded in physics, materials, modelling, and domain insight, it accelerates R&D by strengthening understanding – not by removing the need to think.

When resilience is more than a buzzword. Sustainability. Resilience. Circularity.

Smarter sediment handling can lower costs, reduce pollution, and turn harbour waste into a resource

In environments where hygiene and compliance go hand in hand, choosing the right decontamination method is not just about killing germs. It is about protecting processes, people, and product quality.

We love complex materials challenges. Whether developing a new process, validating a product or understanding a failure, correct testing one of the essential parts of materials engineering. We often start with a fundamental breakdown of all relevant parameters of influence, typically combined with numerical modelling. Finally, a test design, sequence and control parameters are setup.

Plastic films, panels, textiles, paints, varnish, coatings etc. can be tested for scratch, wear and color changes in dry or wet conditions using an automated washability setup.

IPU can offer chemical characterization of materials and surfaces with Glow Discharge optical Emission Spectroscopy (GD-OES)

IPU has decided to further expand our capability in the area of modelling of physical processes used in production environments. This is done through the added capability provided by the Finite Element software Forge NX.

Advanced non-destructive insights into materials, components and devices opens new possibilities industrial applications. Validation of fabricated parts vs. CAD models, statistical analysis using advanced image processing and export for 3D printing are just some of the exciting uses of CT X-ray imaging.
