All of this has given industry a new, unified voice in government; an important step for a sector which hasn’t necessarily been widely listened to in the past..

The goal was to manufacture a drug called an attachment inhibitor to benefit people with HIV and AIDS, for whom other treatments are no longer working.The drug was in development and GSK wanted to get the product to market as quickly as possible..

When trying to accelerate a product to market, it’s important not to tie things down too early.Unexpected things often happen in development, which affect the outcome.It’s important to stay flexible.

Using Chips enabled the success of the Parma project, and structural modelling also enabled design simplification and a quicker timescale.The project was completed in just 18 months and awarded ISPE facility of the year.. We also successfully created something we called a Factory in a Box pharmaceutical facility.

It was built with eight Ghurkas from components delivered in shipping containers.

The Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) project answered an important question for large companies wondering how to build high-quality facilities in emerging markets, quickly and efficiently, with varied local capability.Broadly speaking, when we refer to automation in construction, we mean the development and application of tools, methods and technologies that automate various parts of a construction project from design through to the actual construction process.

This could include creating many building options with generative design at an early stage, testing facilities or construction schedules with simulation, or on-site construction robots performing tasks which could be inefficient or unsafe for people to do.In this article we go into detail on a case study where discrete event simulation (DES), developed in collaboration with Tata Steel, supports the analysis and development of an off-site, automated factory which manufactures the FASTtruss structural building assemblies.. How can automation be used in construction?.

Traditionally, construction has been an on-site process with a minority of off-site construction operations, but it is now shifting to include a hybrid of both on-site improvements and increased off-site operations (.https://www.brydenwood.co.uk/offsiteoronsiteconstruction/s125064/.
