Chromatography, mass spectrometry or spectrophotometry are just some of the chemical analytical techniques used in laboratories around the world. In this article we are going to focus on chemical analytical techniques and how they are applied in industry for problem solving. What are analytical techniques? The purpose of analytical techniques is to determine a parameter,
What are the differences between thermosetting plastics and thermoplastics? In this article, we delve into the definition of these two types of polymers, which differ in terms of their behavior at high temperatures. The classification of plastics also includes a third group, elastomers, which are highly flexible and can be deformed and easily regain their
What is the potential market for a company or a product/service? How is it calculated? What is it for? In this article we talk about the importance of this estimate, which helps to determine whether or not it is worthwhile to introduce a given concept in a specific market. What is the potential market? The
Electroerosion machining is a technology that allows difficult and precision work to be carried out that was previously almost impossible. It is a type of machining by removal that is applied to electrically conductive materials, such as steel and other metals, alloys, graphite or ceramics. Electroerosion machining is also known as spark erosion and EDM
Industrial tightness tests are performed to ensure the tightness of products or materials and prevent failures. In this article we explain what they consist of! Definition of leaktightness Tightness is a property that is characterized by the ability to prevent the penetration of external elements inside a part, circuit or housing, whether they are fluids,
Over time, industrial packaging design has become an indispensable factor when it comes to protecting products from the risks that may be associated with storage and transportation. In this article we explain what it is and why packaging design is becoming more and more important in the industry. What is product packaging? Packaging refers to
Quality control ensures the maintenance or improvement of a product and its manufacturing stages, which is essential in the 21st century industry. In this article we explain what we mean when we talk about quality control, the different types and their techniques. What is quality control and what is its purpose? Quality control is a
The application of quality metrics in industrial manufacturing allows engineering teams to measure the effectiveness of production processes with the goal of improving productivity and driving peak performance. However, we need to know which indicators are capable of providing meaningful insight. That is why, in this article, we explain what quality parameters are, what they
Failures and failure modes, i.e., the loss of characteristics or functions of a product or material, produce a series of effects that must be determined in order to solve them. In this article we analyze what is the term failure mode and what are the types of failures that can occur in materials. What does
Porter’s value chain is a very effective business strategy to achieve a competitive advantage, an essential factor in any innovative project. In this article we explain what value chain analysis consists of. What is value chain analysis? Porter’s value chain is a business management concept developed by Michael Porter in his book Competitive Advantage (1985).
The attraction that Eva Pacheco (Alicante, 1992) feels for knowing and understanding how things work has remained a constant throughout her life. With a broad training achieved after graduating in Chemical Engineering at the University of Alicante and in the qualifying master’s degree in Chemical Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Madrid – with a
Infinitia’s Strategic Design team uses in-depth interviews with end consumers in order to validate a concept, an idea or a solution, and to measure the interest of these potential users in them. Understood as a method of qualitative analysis, we believe it is necessary to focus on this tool because of its efficiency and the
