Lucideon

Lucideon will be introducing, through the AMRICC Academy and STFC Hartree Centre, a set of comprehensive introductory training programs designed to equip professionals in the ceramics sector with the fundamental principles of data science, machine learning, and digital twinning. In the era of Industry 4.0, the ceramics industry is facing the challenge of leveraging data-driven solutions to enhance productivity and output. A deep understanding of data science, digital manufacturing techniques, and their specific applications to the ceramics and advanced ceramics sector is essential. Our courses will be tailored to introduce the terminology, applications, and best practices needed to address the unique challenges of the ceramics industry. The training will also include ongoing support and consultation to help integrate these skills into operational processes in live manufacturing settings. Whether you are a student, early career ceramicist, or are a professional within the ceramics sector, the course will be of benefit to you if you are looking to learn more about data science, machine learning, and their applications in ceramics.

Our consultative approach and analytical capabilities are designed to bring engineering biology innovations to life." #EngineeringBiology #SyntheticBiology #Biotechnology #WeAreLucideon

As part of Lucideon’s new membership of Ceramic Applications, our Business Manager, Tim Abbott, attended the annual meeting at the Fraunhofer IKTS in Dresden earlier this week, taking the opportunity to introduce Lucideon and our capabilities in person. The September issue of Ceramic Applications magazine included an interview with Tim and Richard Goodhead, our Chief Marketing Officer, covering Lucideon’s historic and current role in the ceramics industry and beyond. The interview can currently be read here, beginning page 8: https://lnkd.in/gTJymKvJ Ceramic Applications is a brilliant platform for advances in the development of ceramic components and systems for sustainable, economic applications across a wide range of industrial sectors. Their breadth of knowledge matches Lucideon’s capabilities well, and we look forwards to seeing the benefits of a fruitful partnership. #CeramicApplications #MaterialsScience #WeAreLucideon

The Royal Society of Chemistry’s Particle Characterisation Interest Group (PCIG) is once again holding ‘The Forge’ conference this year, a two-day event dedicated to knowledge sharing and network building within the particle characterisation sphere. This year's event will be held at Leeds University’s Cloth Hall. As the event enters its third iteration, its reputation is growing as a brilliant opportunity to stay up to speed with the latest technological developments and analytical kit, and is of particular value to organisations such as Lucideon who thrive on anticipating and supporting client needs. Lucideon’s Phil Jackson, who sits on the PCIG, described the value of the event: “Forge has proved popular as a great event for learning about existing and cutting edge particle characterisation. It's a brilliant opportunity for students and early career workers to highlight their studies in short (15 minute) presentations. For the 2024 event, the aim is to have a more practical based conference covering the importance of particle characterisation in making a product work and understanding manufacturing processes and their development.” If you’re interested in attending, standard registration is open until the 1st of November, and can be accessed here: https://lnkd.in/dCxUwDbv #ParticleCharacterisation #MaterialsScience #WeAreLucideon

Anike Te, Lucideon’s Chief Strategy Officer and Aegis Professor at the University of Bristol, was recently invited to speak as a panellist at the UK Research and Innovation Engineering Biology Technology Missions Fund Convening event in Cardiff. The UK Science and Technology Framework identifies engineering biology & biotech as one of five critical technologies that the UK should focus on to ensure strategic advantage, as prioritised by the National Science and Technology Council, to deliver prosperity, security, and benefits to the UK and global society. Engineering biology is earmarked for having the power to transform our health and environment, from developing life-saving medicines to protecting our environment and food supply. Lucideon is supporting the sector through the commercialisation of these groundbreaking technologies. Whether it’s optimising formulations, ensuring product consistency, or supporting scale-up, our comprehensive services and holistic partnership approach can help to guide your biotech products to commercialisation.

Lucideon’s Thermodynamic Kiln, when combined with advanced process modelling, offers a comprehensive solution for optimising sintering processes. The kiln is dual fuelled, utilising both gas and electric power, with the flexibility to use either fuel independently or both in tandem. This hybrid approach ensures optimal conditions throughout the firing cycle, tailored to the specific needs of each product. Before any firing, we can perform comprehensive thermodynamic modelling to simulate and predict how thermal energy would be distributed on products and allow a better estimation on product behaviour. This allows us to optimise critical input parameters such as heating rate, fuel type or sample stackings for each unique product and firing schedule. The kiln provides a complete view of the product during firing, equipped with 12 thermocouples, 4 viewing ports with infrared and ultraviolet cameras, and an emissions monitoring system, allowing for real-time adjustments and precise control. The Thermodynamic Kiln is a cutting-edge tool that allows us to delve deeper into the sintering processes, providing unparalleled insights when paired with thermodynamic modelling.

Lucideon has recently become a member of the Nuclear Industry Association (NIA), the trade association for the UK’s civil nuclear industry. As a leading materials development and validation organisation, working across multiple industries to develop materials and manufacturing processes, we aim to support fellow NIA members in their work delivering nuclear opportunities. The NIA is an excellent platform for collaboration, ultimately accelerating the development of novel material and process technologies in the fields of decommissioning and waste management, fusion, and new build and existing generation. Lucideon’s experience in the nuclear sector includes work on novel sintering processes for nuclear fuel and disposition development, development work for encapsulation material for Low to Intermediate level waste, and complex mechanical testing for safety and regulatory compliance. This broad range of work in the industry demonstrates our deep understanding of the nuclear context, augmented by our access to the equipment capabilities of The AMRICC Centre. We will be attending Nuclear 2024, the NIA’s premier annual nuclear conference.
