Understand the cause of a defect
Industrial challenge
A structured approach combining scientific expertise, analysis and an understanding of industrial operations.
Explore our expertise
Complex industrial problems rarely have a single cause. They may involve materials, processes, manufacturing conditions or interactions between several parameters. Finding the right solution requires a structured approach combining scientific expertise, analysis and an understanding of industrial operations.

Our approach
Filab Genium supports every part of the value chain in selecting and securing raw materials so they never hold back your development. Using materials databases, close supplier relationships and in-depth knowledge of materials and chemistry, we can quickly identify suitable options for your needs.
Defining requirements
What operational performance do you expect from your product? How do you use it? Our teams can examine and refine these requirements during a site visit.
Translating requirements into material specifications
Based on your needs, our teams establish a specification for physicochemical properties, weighted according to the importance of each function.
Material search & comparison
Using materials databases and our supplier relationships, we provide a list of materials objectively ranked and scored against your specifications.
Experimental validation
Laboratory-scale testing and support with industrial scale-up.

A situation whose cause cannot be identified through simple observation because it involves several parameters: materials, processes, the environment or operating conditions.
Solving a complex technical problem requires a structured approach: defining the context, formulating hypotheses, conducting scientific investigations and experimentally validating conclusions.
Industrial defects often arise from interactions between materials, processes and operating conditions. Combining disciplines helps identify the actual cause rather than the symptom.
Basing a decision on objective data reduces uncertainty and limits the risk of a problem recurring after corrective measures are implemented.
Filab Genium combines consulting and analytical capabilities to turn a technical challenge into a proven solution that can be applied in your production environment.
