Engineering services

R&D development
We support the development of a new method or process, from experimental design through to results analysis.
Examples of services: literature review; experimental design; test plan; multi-parameter optimization; detailed scientific report...
Process diagnosis & expertise
We analyze existing technical issues in order to identify causes, action levers, and areas for improvement.
Examples of services: material and process characterization; defect analysis; technical recommendations; action plan proposal...
Testing & technical validation
We carry out trials to test a method, a process parameter, or a technical solution.
Examples of services: grinding trials; particle size characterization; separation trials; extrusion trials...
Example of support
Depending on the project’s needs, PLANET may intervene to:
