Engineering Services

dgaude Prime Innovation SLU offers its theoretical and practical expertise to become your reliable partner for research, development and innovation in the fields of materials engineering, process engineering and materials computational design. The combination of experimental experimentation together with physically-based modelling provides dgaude Prime Innovation SLU with an unique competitive advantage.

dgaude Prime Innovation SLU scientific and technical consulting assists on business and industrial decisions. We offer resources that clients cannot provide themselves. Usually, one of the resources is expertise, in the form of knowledge, experience, special skills, or creativity; another resource is time or personnel that the client cannot spare. By providing scientific and technical consulting services we assure long-term competitive advantage for our clients.

Physical Metallurgy

dgaude Prime Innovation SLU specialises in applications related to physical metallurgy and engineering. Physical Metallurgy is usually defined as the science concerned with the physical, chemical and mechanical characteristics of metals, the relations between their structures and properties as well as the theoretical basis and practical methods of property changes.

In particular, dgaude Prime Innovation SLU has ample experience in modelling transformation processes in steel and other alloys, and using advanced thermodynamic and statistical tools to design new alloys, or to describe and optimise treatments.

Computational Materials & Engineering

Computational materials engineering is an emerging method that has proven to play a very important role in providing successful technology solutions. From materials property modelling and material process optimization to development of new high performance alloys and finding specific answers to sophisticated materials-related technological problems of our real-world industries.

Incorporating computational modelling to industrial processes allows finding solutions at lower cost and much faster than via traditional trial and error methods, shortening the development process of materials-enabled products, and reducing its costs.

In many fields, computer simulation is integral and therefore essential to business and research. Computer simulation provides the capability to enter fields that are either inaccessible to traditional experimentation or where carrying out traditional empirical inquiries is prohibitively expensive.

A major pillar of our company is to provide technology solutions, as well as services built on the application of the specialised scientific software solutions already in the market or developed by dgaude Prime Innovation SLU . dgaude Prime Innovation SLU specialises in applications related to physical metallurgy and engineering. In particular, we have ample experience in modelling transformation processes in steel and other alloys, and using advanced thermodynamic and statistical tools to design new alloys, or to describe and optimise treatments.

Machine Learning & Advanced Data Analysis

Machine Learning is a subfield of computer science that evolved from the study of pattern recognition and computational learning theory in Artificial Intelligence.

In practice, Machine Learning is a method of data analysis that automates analytical model building. Moreover, machine learning allows computers to find hidden insights or patterns without being explicitly programmed where to look.

As descrived above, in many fields, computer simulation is integral and therefore essential to business and research. Computer simulation provides the capability to enter fields that are either inaccessible to traditional experimentation or where carrying out traditional empirical inquiries is prohibitively expensive.

dgaude Prime Innovation SLU is able to apply a wide range of advanced ML tools to many sorts of activities, either in industry orin other fields, like economics or demographics.

A few common applications of these tools are:

  • Automatic Anomaly Detection: Detection of outliers. Quality assurance. Security
  • Process prediction: Description of complex processes (industrial and other), with the aim of prediction and optimisation.
  • Classification: Prediction of discrete outcomes of complex processes.
  • Parameter evaluation: Analysis of how influential each of the process parameters is.
  • Et c.

Independent Research & Innovation

dgaude Prime Innovation SLU pursues its own research projects independently, in areas where anough potential has been detected.

Important Know-How has been obtained from this activity, which has even crystalised into several industrial patents as well as a number of scientific publications.

dgaude Prime Innovation SLU is also committed to the valorisation and diffusion of the results of innovative and research activities. This is accomplished by participating in the Scientific Committees of several International Conferences, via development and protection new of Intellectual Property, and when appropriate, via the publication of scientific and technical results.

dgaude Prime Innovation SLU also wants to share its experience in this field and provides all sort of companies, including small and medium sized enterprises (SME) with technical and professional advice and training in R&D strategy and methods.

Licensing: dPI Hydrogen Removal Method

At present, dgaude Prime Innovation SLU is engaged in the technology transfer of several patents recently obtained out of its independent research activities, and in the development of new ones.

One of these projects is related to the study of hydrogen redistribution in steels, and the patents obtained describe a new method to reduce the incidence of hydrogen embrittlement in high strength alloys.

More information can be found at the Projects section of this site.

"Boosting Innovation!!" Program

With the "Boosting Innovation!!" Program, dgaude Prime Innovation SLU maintains its engagement in promoting the innovation culture and proficiency in companies of all sizes, including and small and medium sized enterprises (SME).

This Program aims to engage the company and develop an internal innovative culture. At the end of the program the company will have developed its own innovation methodology, and acquired the tools to make it grow and give fruit.

The "Boosting Innovation!!" Program is based on a combination of innovation theory modules, practical workshops and customised guidance with the company staff and management. This combination enables them to develop their own innovation strategy and methodology, while gaining confidence in their capabilities.
