Process Systems Design
QinetiQ North America Technology Solutions Group has the capability to design, build,
and install systems that transport materials, test pharmaceuticals, handle chemicals, launch aircraft, and even cut cookies, among many other process system design and development challenges. We have the technical depth to replace an old system with a more effective one, and the knowledge to create an entirely new process when one is needed.
Nuclear - We have been providing specialized equipment, process systems, and services to the commercial nuclear power industry for power plant inspection and maintenance since we first introduced our CECIL® robot more than 30 years ago. We ensure that our systems provide unmatched control and precision using advanced optical imaging systems, position tracking technology and high quality user interface and control.
Chemical Demilitarization - We develop, design, and fabricate specialized equipment and process systems used by the U.S. Army’s Chemical Demilitarization program for safe and efficient destruction and neutralization of a wide range of chemical munitions and chemical container systems. These process systems include precision remote operating tools for handling, positioning, and processing in highly toxic and corrosive environments.
Naval Nuclear Fleet Support – We have been providing advanced process systems and robotics to support the U.S. Navy’s nuclear programs with systems specifically designed to meet the high standards for equipment and systems operated in the reactor rooms onboard the most advanced naval nuclear assets for more than 20 years.
General Chemical/Pharmaceutical - We offer a wide range of laboratory automation design services that are driven by a comprehensive system development lifecycle that integrates our mechanical, electrical, and software efforts into a well-documented process. In addition, our software development team is capable of providing a broad range of services that meet requirements ranging from a stand-alone work cell to a fully integrated enterprise solution.
Food - Novelty sells. It creates the value-added aspect that commands a higher selling price. It often also requires dedicated process and production equipment to make a novel product. That is a unique niche of expertise where we excel. We know the food industry well, having spent more than 50 years developing new products and custom equipment for most major food companies, including General Mills, Nabisco, Kraft, and Kellogg’s®.
Medical - Design and fabrication of custom production equipment for the medical industry and the invention of new medical products are long-standing capabilities. Over the decades, we have designed drug packaging systems, more ergonomic medical devices, smaller artificial hearts, and new orthopedic assist equipment.
General Manufacturing - In addition to inventing products and equipment specifically for the food and medical industries, we also work in the area of general manufacturing. For example, we invented the process that makes it possible to continuously mold Velcro® and invented the machine that makes Raychem shrink sleeves.
