When automated, it is easier to track even the smallest of changes and immediately understand the implications of substitutions.
A major aim of design, at least in my view, is to deliver an outcome that fulfils the client’s requirements in the best possible way.It follows that if we can accumulate data about what our clients are seeking to achieve and analyse the data to generate insights to inform our design process, the better the result will be.. UNDERSTANDING COMPLEX PHARMACEUTICAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES.
At Bryden Wood we have many industrial clients who are concerned with transforming raw materials into new products through complex processes.Our data analysts engage directly with clients to collect information about their processes and produce complex time-based models to simulate them and quantify the required inputs and resulting outputs..This analytical work is diverse, ranging from a recent optimisation study for a pharmaceutical plant in Singapore, to a strategy for scaling up commercial supply of a new product, to investigating the likely production timescales for a future COVID-19 vaccine..
Some might say that it is the role of the client to understand their process and of course that is correct.However, a client is generally interested only in the process, its technical feasibility and ability to achieve their business needs.
We are interested in designing a built envelope that houses the process in the most efficient way.. DATA ANALYSIS INFORMS ENGINEERING AND DESIGN.
The only way we can do this effectively is by analysing the process.And so, in this case, the question ‘is nuclear energy renewable?’ may be less important than ‘can nuclear power help us tackle the climate crisis?’.
You might decide against nuclear power because you believe that all our future energy requirements can be met by renewables; that all the required assets can be delivered in time to decarbonise; and that the overall context and incentives are right for this to happen.And if they are not, you might still judge that the consequences for humanity are not as bad as the risks we would incur by using nuclear energy..
Although some argue that it would be technically possible to meet all of our energy needs using renewable energy sources by 2050,.4. it is much harder to argue that it is practically possible to achieve the necessary, aggressive decarbonising of emissions within the next decade.
